Cabinets and Granite

We knew we wanted white cabinets. I feel these light and bright cabinets will help make the kitchen appear larger and brighter since we are an interior unit. Unfortunately, these were only available as a Level 2 Upgrade. We chose the Rushmore Painted Maple Linen. These cabinets had more detail then the Sonoma.

We are currently debating under cabinet lighting... any thoughts? Also, we plan to add our own backsplash after we move in. Should we ask Ryan not to add the granite piece above the counter? I am thinking white to keep with the white and bright look or possibly bring in some color. Don't have to worry about that now...



Cabinet Selections

For granite, we wanted a lighter tone with either greys or tans. Santa Cecilia has been the granite I have mostly seen in other blogs. We considered this one (it was the one in the model) but it appeared two yellow. We don't get to pick our slab, so the last thing I would want would it to be appear yellow. We decided on Carmel Fantasy. It had some greys and tans and was one the lighter side. We also loved the name.



Our selections with flooring:

Now the biggest dilemma... brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze? We already upgraded all of the hardware, cabinet pulls, and lighting to brushed nickel. The oil rubbed bronze is only an additional $190 so there's no cost factor. I just can't decide what will look better! I love the oil rubbed bronze look but I am not sure if it is just a fad. I know we could always change the lighting and pulls later but this could e expensive and tasking. Decisions, decisions! Any suggestion would be extremely welcome!
