booo. Pinterest is blocked for me here (I'm at work) so I can't see your pics. We have cream-colored perimeter cabinets, black island cabinets, a lightish granite (Santa Cecilia), stainless steel appliances and a dark stained oak floor (kind of reddish).
let me see if I can grab a picture of it on our builder's website...

It's more cream-colored than white and it has a glaze on it. If I were redoing my kitchen, I'd skip the glaze, I think it'll look dated soon, but it hides dirt well. Sorry, I don't know what the exact paint color is, we got them through our builder.

sorry, the walls were painted by our builder so I don't know the color offhand. It's just a basic builder off-white. I think I might have a paint can in the basement they left for us and can check when I'm home.
I think the two toned kitchens will out-date themselves quicker. Even though I love the look of a different color island, I would stick with white,
This. I like the look but I think they will look dated in the future. If you're going with such a classic look for the kitchen stick with a classic uniform look.

I would do white, just because it could date itself fast. That kitchen, though, is gorgeous lovemymonkey. I think I can fit my bedroom, living room AND kitchen in there!

I'd probably do all white, which I think is more classic. If you do decide to go with a darker island, I'd do a contrasting light color counter. BTW, I love your kitchen Pinterest board!
