The (nearly) final kitchen redo pics

I sincerely apologize for my delay in posting the (nearly) final pictures of the kitchen.  The backsplash was just completed last week, and I had been holding out hope that I'd be able to get my camera fixed before the kitchen was finished.  No such luck.  It turns out that the nearest Nikon repair shop is an hour away from me (with no traffic) so I just haven't made it there yet.  The other option is to send it out to Nikon and be without a camera for 6-8 weeks.  So, for now, you're just getting more crappy pictures taken with my crappy old camera. 

Granite and sink installed (obviously, backsplash not yet installed)

 Almost finished




The flash on my crappy camera really washes everything out, so I don't feel like this gives a good color representation, but I can't do anything about that.  So now we just need to do some minor finishing touches...change the switch plates on the backsplash, purchase bar stools for the island, repair the wall (above the sink) and ceiling, and paint.  We haven't chosen a paint color yet. Any suggestions?

    My first thought is a color like Behr's "Ceramic Glaze 240D-4"
    Love the under-mount sink!

    In my first kitchen w/cherry cabs & dakota mahogany granite we went with a pumpkin/coppery color. This was very unusual for me because I usually stick with earthtones however it brought out the colors of the granite beautifully.

    In our current kitchen w/cherry cabs and imperial black granite we went with RH silver sage. I absolutely love this color because you can't quite tell what it is. Sometimes it looks gray, sometimes green, sometimes blue. We ended up painting our kitchen and adjoining family room silver sage I loved it so much and the spaces are practically seamless.

    Your granite and backsplash appear neutral from the photos, so really you could go with whatever you love. It looks beautiful so far!

    Thanks for the comments! I should mention that our kitchen opens to the living room, which is currently red, so the color would need to flow and complement that nicely. I was thinking of something gold-toned.
