But one is grey and one is more brown (on my screen). What will your overall colour scheme be... paint colour, furniture, etc, etc. That might help you decide. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: which benchtop colour? help!! 11Jul 08, 2009 1:42 pm They are both nice and will both go beautifully.

Yes one is a grey and the other a brown. Well the walls will probably be a off white and most of my furniture is blue,i love blue! Hmmm,i hate trying to decide colours,really not my thing Re: which benchtop colour? help!! 13Jul 08, 2009 2:02 pm Oh yay, I love blue too!! I think I would like your kitchen !!! My kitchen will have a light blue splashback (Dulux Seabreeze 1/2) with my QQ Coco benchtops, because I love the blue and brown together!! We are also having a slightly darker blue feature wall in the adjoining family room, Dulux Post Boy and probably a coffee or chocolate coloured lounge. Best of luck in your choice, and let us know how you get on!!

Re: which benchtop colour? help!! 16Jul 08, 2009 2:15 pm There you go, SuH is right, already 50/50 !! I think blue is a cool colour, so the brown goes nicely to warm it up. All a matter of personal choice though. MagicJ MagicJ I finally have my own reno thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28335 The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue!

Sounds lovely magicj Re: which benchtop colour? help!! 18Jul 08, 2009 2:29 pm Thanks, kkatt!! We renovated in Melbourne a couple of years ago and I had a similar glass splashback back then, and I loved it!! (But we sold and moved to Tassie ). If the link works, here is a pic!!! http://www.realestate.com.au/objects/pr ... 887660.jpg Those were alabaster cupboards too. This time, we can afford a stone bench top as well, which is exciting!!! (Sorry, hope not too far off your topic, but it's nice finding another blue-lover!! ) MagicJ MagicJ I finally have my own reno thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28335 The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue!
