Everyone was so kind when I asked for help in finding a sink for our house remodel-Thank you!

Our hickory cabinets are being installed, so I have to make a decision on counters and was hoping to get some ideas from all of you. This is a remodel of the main living area in a 1973 ranch home. Think dark, paneling, three rooms that are now one great room. The area is only 13' wide, so it has been a challenge getting in everything I want! One thing I know is I want light!! This area faces West and has a 6' window (existing) over the sink, a 5' window (existing) over my window seat, a 5' patio door (new), and a 11' wall of floor to ceiling windows (existing) in the living room.

The working kitchen will be along this West wall. Across from the cabinets will be a walk in pantry with old, greyed barn doors using the original rusty track, hinges & handle.

Across from these weathered doors will be our 80" x 40" hickory cabinet island. The top for this will be a 1920's restored bowling lane. It will be a light maple color, edged with natural colored walnut, with dark brown epoxy filling in the cracks. The top will include the 10 black pin 'spots/markers' where my 97 year old father in law used to set up the pins when he was a teenager and this bowling was located above the local saloon in the 1920/30's. On the end of this island will be attached a custom made table height table where we will dine. For this reason, we are choosing to go with a laminate top for here and the rest of the kitchen counters.

My floor is Luxury Vinyl plank by Karndean. I've read where the counters should coordinate well with your flooring-so here are my final four laminate samples, all Wilsonart HD, laying on my floor.

Left to right: Spring Carnival, Luna Winter, White Cascade, Hebron White

Here they are next to the cabinets, along with a grey board from my pantry door, and the variegated grey brick tile I plan for the backsplash. I included the white trash can, only because I will be using white schoolhouse lights in the pendant over the island and over my window seat. And the striped maple/dark cutting board to mimic the island top.

The two closest to the cabinet are Luna Winter & Hebron White. The Hebron White (left) is described as a soft Jerusalem stone look in a range of warm cream tones. The Luna Winter (right) is a medium scale abstract, off white, influenced by light taupe grey. They both look good with the hickory, though I'm wondering if I should not be adding more 'beige/yellow/cream tones' to this kitchen.

The bottom two are White Cascade (left) - a off white limestone look with linear directional features in subtle warm & cool neutrals. Right one is Spring Carnival-Brazilian design granite features large scale areas of soft white with grey and almond accents. These, to me, read more 'white' than the upper two.

I realize this will be hard for all of you to see. I don't know if there is a option to enlarge the photos or not. I originally wanted to go with the Spring Carnival, but got worried that it would be too busy with the hickory and also the backsplash. What are your opinions-should I stay with the cream/almond laminate or go with one of the whiter/grey looking ones. The walls are painted Benjamin Moore

"Pale Oak', so a very neutral light grey/taupe.

Again, Thank you all for taking the time and for your opinions!
