Now that you have seen our existing kitchen, we thought we would start to explore the “look” that we are trying to achieve with our remodel.
The first thing we want are new white kitchen cabinets that will match our trim and look great against our grey walls. This picture is a great example of the overall look we are going for as well as the style of cabinets that we would like to use. We especially love the pulls that they have on the drawers as well as the subway tile and open shelving that they have in this kitchen.

Counter tops are a big unknown still in our design sceme. We are leaning towards something dark and is easy to care for. At first we said no to granite but now seeing this kitchen below with black honed granite, we are beginning to think that this might be our best option. Quartz and marble are just too porous and Emily would constantly be worrying that she might stain it. Soapstone also has maintance issues and its difficult to find the exact slab of soap stone that we like.

Matt and Emily already have cararra marble in their bathroom and they love it so the back splash was a pretty easy decision. Use the cararra marble and have it in smaller subway tile form.
More to come about backsplash and lighting ideas this week!
