A: I believe it was Sherwin Williams Creamy however this project is 12 years old so I can not remember for sure **Q: 1912 Craftsman kitchen remodel** *(in Home Decorating)* We are remodeling our 1912 Craftsman home kitchen that is currently in disarray with tile counters, cracking floors and odd layout circa 1970. We already have the architectural plan set, and general look with white quaker cabinets, a built in storage bench for a breakfast nook and butler's pantry. We'd like to stay on the more neutral side to keep with the Craftsman style, but also have a bit of a farmhouse look in the rest of the house. We'll have some dark wood accents in the breakfast nook table and other little pieces throughout. We're mostly stuck on the countertops. Do we go with a darker brown granite contrasting with the white cabinets to look more like our farmhouse furniture, or a lighter/white countertop to blend in a bit more (likely a quartz)? What is best for resale value and just has a better look overall? Pictures: 1\. Our current dining/living area to get a feel for our current look. 2\. Flooring we'll be putting in the kitchen 3\. Farmhouse sink similar to what we'll have in the kitchen. 4\. Option of using dark brown countertop similar to this: 5\. Option of using dark brown countertop similar to this: OR 6\. Option of using lighter neutral color countertop like this: A: Maybe yes and yes I believe it is a personal preference. I do think if you go with a darker that the black soapstone is a better fit then the brown. However, I think lighter similar to a Carrara marble but in a more durable product like quartz. We have some good example on our homes kitchen section of our site https://elementshomebuilder.com/portfolio-items/kitchen/ --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
