It's going to look great together - relax! Almost everyone freaks out a little at this stage. Trust your initial instincts and wait until it's done before you let yourself form any opinions. Will you be doing a backsplash different from the counters? You can always use that to either distinguish or tie in if you still think you need to when all is said and done.

Yes, we want to do a backsplash. I’m not sure if I should do a darker or lighter backsplash? Or if I should tie it more to the counter or the cabinets? Any suggestions?

Cream and gray and beige are the colors I see in your photo. The unfinished part of the island looks white. In this light,
the floor has a pinkish undertone which may or may not be accurate. Maybe, when the lighting is installed, the pink will disappear. Maybe it’s just the camera . It’s normal to have a bit of panic when things are only halfway done. Wait until the lighting is completed and then decide if your concern is warranted. The room does need some excitement....a good accent color. I like having runner rugs where I stand to prep and in front of the stove. They bring in texture and color. Maybe you need whiter light bulbs, too.

Kerry, hard to say -- I'd wait until everything else is done until you make that decision - you'll have a much better feel for it at that point.

This is the cabinet, counter, carpet, and tile together? Does the tile look less of a pink undertone in this lighting and picture?

One area that may need a washable surface is the wall under the island counter..where the seating will be...people sitting at the island could kick the back wall leaving smudges ...

As to your color concerns...re-doing the walls in a little warmer gray ...would blend better than the cooler gray on the walls now

A big color swatch of wall color ....in the sample pics .....would demonstrate better how color on the walls relates to the other elements...

Dont know what stage you are with the counter ...but that color is very white....a conflict with the creamy cabinet color..

The counter was installed today. It’s a creamy-beige with taupe veins and light cream flecks. I think I’m feeling better about it all coming together. Like some of your suggestions, if I get the right backsplash and tweak the paint color, I think it will look fine. You all are so helpful. Thank you

I think this looks absolutely beautiful! Soft, and rich looking in my opinion

Thank you! You made my day!!

Kerry, it looks really nice! All the elements flow nicely together.

I saw my house under construction via photos long distance and it all looked too grey before the lights went in. Now with the lights on it looks great.
Take some lamps into the kitchen with you to really see
what it looks like.
