I remodeled my kitchen about 7yrs ago and went with white cabinets and dark gray granite counters along with a lighter gray tile on the floor. The backsplash is white 6″ glazed tile with an inset of granite (same as counters) about every 3rd tile. I love it! I purposely picked the gray cuz I knew it was timeless and I would never get tired of it. The wall color is a different story – I also have a living room/kitchen combo with only a breakfast bar seperating them (it has the gray granite on it). I tried white walls – too plain, I now have a light sand color – not the look I was going for. I will be painting it again soon. This time I am using a light gray in the kitchen and the living room. Bottom line, the walls are easier, and cheaper to repaint than the cabinets.

I am also trying to decide on a cabinet color, and have been going back and forth between white and gray. My wall color is a deep blue-gray, and my countertop color is a milky white. I am leaning towards doing light gray cabinets rather than dark so that they don't compete with the wall color. Does anyone have a recommendation on specific gray shades? Or, should I just stick with white?

Thanks!

I am also in the process of deciding on a dark grey for my kitchen. Do people have any recommendations on shades? I was thinking Farrow and Ball- either Pigeon, downpipe or railings? Do you know what the dark grey kitchen photographed above is?

Thanks!

I am finally emerging from the whirlwhind that the last quarter of 2009 was for me…and I am loving your blog! I can't wait to read more about your new home in Atlanta (and hopefully, see more pictures!). I have been thinking a lot about kitchens lately, and there is a picture in this post that really resonates with me…I am going to show it to my kitchen designer.

Welcome to Atlanta! We should have a blogger get together…there are so many great bloggers in Atlanta now.

I say do the dark gray or stay white… The others — while I can appreciate them — just look a bit too drab. The all-white kitchens, and the one with the darkly-contrasting gray, are gorgeous.

Go all in or not at all, I say!
