I know this has been posted probably a thousand times before.. but.. I have someone coming to paint our kitchen island in a dark finish, and the surrounding cabinets are white. I know this look is popluar now but I haven't saved many photos and I was hoping someone here could post some, or post a link to some inspiration web sites. Thanks so much! I'll be sure to post some photos when we are done!

Hi Paintlady. We are working on our kitchen also, so I have saved several pics. Are you only interested in pics with a combo of light and dark colors? Let me see what have.

I have this one

I just realized that I have an island addiction

Wow, these are great! thank you!

I think I'm going to do something like in that first picture that Nikki posted, the dark brown wood tone. But I also love the black..

Here's a picture of my kitchen, what are your thoughts on the island color?

I think black might be too dark, because the granite is dark.. maybe I should do a lighter brown/tan to keep some contrast with the granite?

Here's another view, from the other side of the room..... NOTE, the paint color is actually more of a tan like in the first picture (it's BM Wheeling Neutral)
This picture is a little older, it was taken when the room was painted Sandy Brown, which was too gold for me.

You have a lovely kitchen, just beautiful!

For the most contrast, I would paint the island the darkest brown you have in your granite. I love black, but not in your kitchen.

Post pics when you are done, what ever you decide!

PL26 love your kitchen and what I can see of the next room. Do we have your home on HOMES CENTRAL? I know I should know that........ Annie
