What a great kitchen to begin with, but I certainly understand wanting a change. There are so many great paint colors and I really think you need whatever color you choose to blend with the elements that are not changing, i.e. counters and stone. There are a lot of details to this kitchen, the arched doorway, the stone surround, the glass cabinets, the wine rack. With all of these wonderful details, something is telling me that one color for the paint could be very attractive. I would paint the walls, trim and ceiling all one color allowing all of the wonderful features to really stand out. The cabinets could be painted the same color and then lightly stained (with a greyish tint) This would help eliminate the break between the cabinets and the ceiling. As for the china cabinet, matching the grout from the stone could really be pretty. I would keep the backsplash in the same tones and texture of the stone. This would create a really clean, fresh, updated look. Good luck and have fun!Sparkling Like A Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970800973338729729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500450738339997116.post-60807661604217732222014-10-29T05:12:15.686-05:002014-10-29T05:12:15.686-05:00I think all your suggestions sound great!

I have painted in lots of houses and one thing is for sure - paint colors are different everywhere - the amount of natural light affects them so much. I LOVE Revere Pewter in my parents-in-laws' house, I used it in all their main living areas and it was the perfect greige because they have a lot of natural light. In my house it read really grey, the lighting is just different. So my big advice is invest in samples!!!!! They are so worth the added expense if you end up LOVING the colors you choose (and avoid repainting!) As far as whites go, I think White Dove is one of the most versatile whites, it's warm but not yellow, and clean and fresh feeling without being too sterile! Can't wait to see your afters!

I'd pick a midtone for the backsplash in either chocolate (to match the darker wood stain for the china cabinet) or a medium gray (to complement a charcoal china cabinet without competing). I hope your friend will share pictures of the end result! How fun!!!

It's the PERFECT charcoal gray! It looks slightly navy in some lights, and very gray in others. So perfect for a kitchen! I recommend it to clients all the time. And White Dove is my go-to cabinet color! You've definitely got a head start! :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244338207558169710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500450738339997116.post-28675863109369461882014-10-24T09:25:50.248-05:002014-10-24T09:25:50.248-05:00Love the idea of staining the china cabinet darker...Love the idea of staining the china cabinet darker rather than painting. Agree with previous comment that the crown molding color would look great. I know she has plans to remove the smaller island, but that would take away the work triangle (having a place to set down hot items as the sink area is quite a distance).
