    Kitchen Tones

    So since we last talked about the kitchen, I have:

    - bought kitchen lights
    - returned kitchen lights
    - ordered new kitchen lights
    - which I will probably exchange on pickup for different kitchen lights
    - ordered a fridge
    - cancelled a fridge
    - picked a new fridge, but haven't ordered it
    - gone from oiling my floorboards, to not oiling my floorboards
    - changed the colour of my caesarstone

    Hey, and that's only the kitchen.

    Ok, so this is what's happening as of today:

    Kitchen with Caesarstone NOUGAT countertops
    White vinyl wrap cupboards with silver drawerpulls.  Same as my bathroom.
    Platinum Micro Laminex peeking through from the laundry-slash-pantry
    Beige Royal on the walls - totes boring I suppose, but we like it, and it's the colour I did in my other, finished rooms.

    Appliances you can see are stainless steel.
    Splashbacks are as-yet undetermined.
    My overhead/overbench pendants are black, which I am considering changing to silver.  A bit of an unknown until they arrive/some cabinetry goes in and I make the sparky dangle them from the ceiling for my amusement. 

    Now the underside of the island where you sit on your stools kicking the bench.  I want a contrast colour there .. which I will pickup in the splashback.  I'm thinking stainless steel ?  The sample above is something called DUROPAL, which sounds a bit like a laxative, but is more like a laminate.

    But the thing is, I don't think I want a s/steel splashback.  I could tint glass I suppose, but I actually think I prefer the texture of tile over a flat smooth surface.  I went to the tile place the other day, but I hadn't looked at the below-island laminates them, so it was an aimless browse at best.  I'm pretty sure they had some tinted glass tiles that would work

    As always, opinions and anecdotes appreciated! ...
