Sparkly countertops

6 years ago

I'm considering Cambria Whitney for a very tiny U-shape kitchen remodel. Whitney doesn't show up well on screen. I'm considering natural-maple base cabinets, large format white subway, white sink, range and DW, white wall cabinets and a full-height white pantry cabinet next to the fridge. I have natural hickory flooring which will stay, but it's not busy like some because long wide planks were used. A sink rug pretty much covers most of the floor due to the smallness of the kitchen. The natural wood base cabinets are to add a bit more warmth to a white kitchen and to juxtaposition with the glittery countertops. I also like the durability of having natural wood vs. painted for base cabinets. I have a mostly white kitchen now and like it, but it's time to remodel due to wear and tear and currently there is no DW, so adding a DW will be a much desired upgrade. The room gets very little natural light and the U-shape is tight, but it is a very functional arrangement. The rest of my house has a lot of crisp-white paneling. The current and new kitchen will have a lot of items sitting out full time on the countertop like a paper towel holder, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, knife block and Vitamix, so these items will cover a great deal of the sparkle. My dishes are colorful Fiesta ware and it's a very casual lake house if that matters. Whitney seems crisp and fun and seems to go with all the other element in my house, but is it too much glitter?
