I am interested in upgrading my countertops to Granite. My cabinets and all appliances are white, its a bit sterile for me. My decorating style is a cross between traditional and contemporary but probably more towards traditional. I have light/medium brown tone wood floors and currently a medium wood color kitchen table and hutch. The room is painted a forest green now and although I don't need to keep it that color, I don't mind it so it could stay if it worked. It is really true in my house that the kitchen is the heart of the home and I have a decent amount of counter space so I want to make sure I am happy with whatever decision I make. I am struggling with what color to choose. At first I was leaning towards the dark colors but I am now thinking those look too harsh given my decorating sytle. Any advice for colors (if that's possible given what I told you) is so appreciated.
