Thanks! Yes I’m deciding between strand of pearls, collingwood, natural cream, and pale oak. So hard to pick as they look so different in different light. I worry that the Monaco is a little cooler than these options, but going cooler with the cabinets seem to wash out the color and completely blend with the gray in the Monaco.

Carole Vaudable Interior Design you do not need to ask people to reach out to you on every post. That is a bit spammy and people will flag you for it. Spam is against the forum rules.

So helpful thank you!! I hadn’t seen the first photo you posted. I love the zellige tile backsplash too. The last photo, is that natural cream with Monaco too? How did you find these? Ive been digging but have only found a couple examples of the combo.

Also what are you doing for backsplash? Are you doing the island in natural cream too?

The first photo is natural cream and monaco. The second two photos are natural cream and Hanstone Montauk, which pulled violet in person for me.

I found these by running Instagram and google searches for natural cream and for calacatta monaco. I’ve spent an embarrassing amout of time researching all of this. Leaning towards a zellige tile backsplash—either the 4x4 or 2x6 size. Our island will be white oak.

The Zellige tiles actually pull it all together really well. It’s going to be stunning.

Not sure I have enough faith in our installer to do the zellige right so may try a faux zellige.

Hard to tell much from this, but my contractor painted one of my old cabinet doors natutal cream so I could see the color. Counter sample is Calacatta Monaco and tile is zellige casablanca (not the right size but just to see color). Thinking hardware will be brass, so threw in the candlestick.

I feel you on the Zellige install. I’m probably going to use someone different for that, and hopefully someone with more specialized knowledge/experience.

Beautiful! Had you considered pale oak at all?

Yes, I have a samplize sample and can take a picture of it for you with the Monaco. I liked it (and I think that is the color of my guest room, which I love), but I think i decided it was a little too light.

in the meantime, here is Natural Cream on the left and Revere Pewter on the right. Hard to photograph well with iPhone/shadows.

Pale oak with Monaco quartz. It looks good. Sorry, my samplize sample is bubbly.

So helpful thank you!

Can w see a finished picture? Looking at Monaco with SW Cotton cabinets
