I think this combination of blue and gray looks fabulous! We have chosen white beaded inset cabinate s and have chosen to make rhe island. After much deliberation between walnut or painting rhe island we have decided to paint it blue. What type/brand of paint along with color did you use? Due to bar stool and sitting in the area, did you spray or use a specific paint, harder paint than other surfaces? Secondly, love the lighting along with the hood designed area, can you tell me a little about both along with brands etc? Thank you, carolyn
