| I think worrying about green granite going out of style is silly. Five ten years down the line no matter what you do now it will look dated then. I'm an architect who worked with an interior designer for ten years. I'm not particularly bothered by the light floor with the darker cabinets. I think it will help keep the kitchen from seeming too dark. If you google "kitchen cherry cabinet" and click on images you can find some pictures of combinations similar to what you are describing. (I'd link, but a bunch of them are in blogs try the one in "Pardon our Dust".)
I've got two 1950s bathrooms. I love the one with gray tile and maroon trim and fixtures, but I hate the bubble gum pink one. |
