My kitchen facelift
This kitchen started as a partial revamp five years ago by adding open shelving. The cabinets that were there went into the utility room. We also added an island range hood and cut the island down to one level. At that time I found a replacement island granite for the one level that looked close to the same but had a bit less warmth.
Five years later we got new resized windows, replaced five cabinets with new and refaced the rest (all diy Conestoga). We kept the island as it was after slight 5yr revamp and blended the rest to go with. The wall area cabs has a Silestone countertop called Coral Clay which is a warmer gray depending on the light and is as good as I could get to blending a solid with a granite that has some of that color.

Thank you everyone! I was a bit worried with the final result. However, pretty much everything in this open plan would be considered “outdated” and I had to find a way to put a new spin on it all. Didn’t like the fireplace or the floor tile either.
I had some Conestoga cherry stain samples left from another kitchen we did years ago. The ginger stain cherry was an exact match. To blend the ugly floor tile into the mix I chose Conestoga Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige for the painted doors.
The two new uppers were ordered with ginger cherry interiors for a better blend-in with the other existing uppers that have the same. I did the upper left 15” total depth w/door, it fits all those bulky bowls and platters.
You can see part of the fireplace in one of the first photo’s. That used to be a more vibrant brown/rust/ yellowish tone. I did a wash with Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige, one level tablespoon per cup of water. That blends nicely now. It still looks like stone but is calmer.The countertop is actually a slightly warm gray but looks different in every photo. In the ones where it looks white you are seeing the highlight glare from the windows.
Sample painted board.
