I think of them as french romantic. We lean towards french it goes well with our antiques.  I was thinking of wallpapering the backsplash instead of tile.

Thanks, Diane</i><br /><br /><br /><br />DIANE:  For french you are definitely on the right track with this style.  If you are wallpapering a back splash you may want to consider a glass panel in front of it to make it more impervious to splashes, steam, heat and easier to clean.   Follow below for color - I'll answer both your question and  Gisela's at the same time....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.82666778564453px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;"><br /><i>I love your blog!

Contrasting Kitchen Islands

<div align="center">Sometimes kitchens can look a little bland and boring all in one color or finish.  On some of my kitchen remodels I recommend making the island a contrasting finish so that it stands out as a piece of furniture or relieves some of the monotony of the cabinetry.  When I do that I often find I need to change the counter there too.  The kitchens then become sort of a two tone scheme, where there is a light counter on the dark cabinet and vice versa.  This design is not for every situation but it does work well in many instances.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWS_THL-Efc85lZCAT8HJ11daVwfz8lFIR_wAVJipNSgvNvRpqKlWZAmWqotO4KUo5NK_WSwSINrNuIyRm6H7q88pgOSrUmroXuryf55T15q1xRZgJZbnWZEUBR85BLEaVB0MD11jP4tu/s1600/CA+2011+McD+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKWS_THL-Efc85lZCAT8HJ11daVwfz8lFIR_wAVJipNSgvNvRpqKlWZAmWqotO4KUo5NK_WSwSINrNuIyRm6H7q88pgOSrUmroXuryf55T15q1xRZgJZbnWZEUBR85BLEaVB0MD11jP4tu/s640/CA+2011+McD+008.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div align="center"><em><a href="http://designinthewoods.blogspot.com/2011/11/project-reveal.html">Aston Design Studio remodel</a></em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">In the remodel above, the island really becomes the centerpiece of the kitchen with a beautiful wood finish and details like turned legs.  The counter is a textural limestone, coral reef, that brings more interest and brings everyone to the "table" of the kitchen.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbxvziD8uPL-TYDj2tSdr_xCz70ZW2T9PAPh2Pu7o3ViX-CQ-bU5d_W99ODi2jZIyNLQFNKfDRFNtqmd-fvi7SukvNPsrPTJC6cmm-0bBu8PUM3f2gH5_B6f5a_UmzS_oxIqDQ4dEv99E/s1600/After+Kitchen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdbxvziD8uPL-TYDj2tSdr_xCz70ZW2T9PAPh2Pu7o3ViX-CQ-bU5d_W99ODi2jZIyNLQFNKfDRFNtqmd-fvi7SukvNPsrPTJC6cmm-0bBu8PUM3f2gH5_B6f5a_UmzS_oxIqDQ4dEv99E/s400/After+Kitchen.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://designinthewoods.blogspot.com/2012/02/before-and-after-kitchen.html">Aston Design Studio remodel</a></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A two tone scheme here was created, white counter on dark island and dark counter on white perimeter cabinets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiprWANt-5FlA-Q9DlY_MVtbSIGbHcbhXeB-yoB_51ZLnTCc765rMRW8JaRyPrsJc7cVOGtZUoSM8-o3E5hb8dNatJ4GiS0DZgcKKsZGP9NfX5yD6cb0_dTDicWRGGkKIlJPQs4yvJe6B8s/s1600/CRP0011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiprWANt-5FlA-Q9DlY_MVtbSIGbHcbhXeB-yoB_51ZLnTCc765rMRW8JaRyPrsJc7cVOGtZUoSM8-o3E5hb8dNatJ4GiS0DZgcKKsZGP9NfX5yD6cb0_dTDicWRGGkKIlJPQs4yvJe6B8s/s400/CRP0011.JPG" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://designinthewoods.blogspot.com/2012/01/kitchen-remodel-before-and-after.html">Aston Design Studio remodel</a></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A new stained wood island becomes an added quality feature in this remodeled kitchen.  Again, light counter on darker island, dark counter on light perimeter cabinets.
