josiedolly I also have white cabinets. My paint color is a shade or 2 lighter than Behr Golden Leaf. It would match your floor great. Then I would accent in black and red. I stenciled black diamonds and it looks fantastic. I have burgandy walls in the living room that match one of your paint spots on your wall. It all works!

agedport Thanks Josie! Do you have a picture you could share? We are using Benjamin Moore paint and I would like to try to find the color in Benjamin Moore. Also, I am a very visual person and can't picture anything unless I see it. Thanks again for responding!

josiedolly Here are our wall colors. I am not finished stenciling. The diamonds are between the fluer de lis. I might even put the golden color on the bottom of your island.

MAlps Baeutiful kitchen! I love it! I would either do a pretty light blue-not too light or to go a little more old fashion and add red and stainless for appliances. If you choose to go with light blue, lucite dinette chairs around a square table with 2 chairs on each side is STUNNING! Putting fresh orchid plants around the counters will give it a bit more of mod look! I'm thinking of my friend designer kitchen that was just redone! Also white...

houssaon Here is one space with a terracotta red: Color & Personality 1 and Color & Personality 2. Notice the subway tile backsplash. And here is one with a true red: Broderick Kitchen.

Green is soothing in this kitchen with Dove White on the cabinets and Rosemary Sprig #2144-20 by Benjamin Moore: Plymouth Residence 1 and Plymouth Residence 2. Again, white tiles.

For a blue kitchen, this is lovely: Marylhurst Kitchen. Looks like marble tiles.

karislawson I say take out the granite island and replace it with something more homey or modern. Also paint your walls a peach color. And put in some nice lighting.

MAlps @houssaon: nice pics but i meant a softer light blue, much palet

houssaon Here are some colors to think about: Wedgewood Gray HC-146 by Benjamin Moore, Woodlawn Blue HC-147 by Benjamin Moore, Van Courtland Blue Paint, Templeton Gray 161 by Benjamin Moore, Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage Paint, Barefoot in the Grass CSP-840 Paint, Benjamin Moore Brick Red 2084-10 Ben Paint, Tea Paint tandoori CSP-1105, and Benjamin Moore Storm (I have this in my dining room and love it).

Amy Canary My suggestion is to consider white carrara subway tile for backsplash and a gray with blue undertones for walls such as Ben Moore whitestone 2134-60. Keep it light and classic. Your kitchen is beautiful!

clyon For warmth, I like the terracotta red or the Rosemary Sprig in Houssaon's photos. Love your Shaker cabinets - looks like you are on your way to a beautiful kitchen! Good luck.

jeepgurl I agree with Amy! Keep it simple and timeless. I would do the carrara subway tile for backsplash and maybe paint the island a grey color, or leave the island white. I would paint the walls a pale pale grey like Behrs Silver Drop. You can always add pops of color with accesories. Your kitchen is lovely!!

agedport Thank you all so much for your responses. Thus is my first time posting on this site and I am so appreciative of the time you all took to respond. Lots to think about.....thanks again!

collettec I would consider painting the island base wood black.

lionnessone Backsplash?
Complete your job before choosing a paint colour.

collettec I would add a glass tile backsplash in a solid color that you like, maybe something like a green - but could be any color.
