We’ve got three different cabinets with glass doors. They need glass.

Our kitchen style is eccletic. We clearly have a more contempory look going on with the stainless steel fridge and modern hood. The details in the woodwork are more from the traditional point of view.

What to do with our glass?
Would appreciate opinions.
We went granite shopping Saturday.
Our kitchen guy, Jerry, will be shopping with us when it’s time to make the real decisions (when construction starts). This was just a “practice” run.
We’re going to most likely use two different granites; one for the island and one for the perimeter. A while back we ran into a nearly all-black granite with little flecks of gold colored sparkles. Gorgeous. Jerry tells us that when we go, we’ll change our minds.
Sure enough … we made the forever long trek to 
to browse. Wow. Wow. They claim 100,000 slabs of granite and marble (divided between three locations) and though we only visited one place, we were a bit overwhelmed.
So many colors, so many choices. We brought along some sample tiles from our kitchen floor and cabinet samples to help choose. Up and down the aisles we went. Up and down. Up and down. Then the yard outside. Up and down and all around.
It was a good and useful experience. I have never seen so many colors, patterns, blends and textures. WOW. The comforting news is that there were enough choices that felt like they are in range. Somebody who can coordinate colors will make our ultimate selections.
It probably seems like it’s been forever since I’ve updated … it has.
To bring you quickly up to speed:
- We’ve pretty much decided on our layout
- We’re decided on our cabinets: Plato (premium - I’m hoping this splurge is worth the extra money)
- We’ve chosen beautiful cherry (nutmeg stain) cabinets for the perimeter and painted, charcoal cabinets for the island
- We’re nearly, nearly locked down on the appliances
