Kitchen - on the brink...

Alright people - I'm on the brink of something big - - new counters!!  I think it might mean that I need some new kitchen rugs - here's a current view (I made the rug here) and maybe one I could switch to:

Dash and Albert Rugs

Woven Tortola Ticking Cotton Contemporary Rug

Anyways, back to the counters - - I got a new stove (still in love with it!) and the old stove is a countertop one, so taking it out will make a big hole - - finally, I reason to get rid of the lovely blue countertops!  So I'm thinking dark counters.... and we're going to take the plunge and paint all the cabinets gray - I'm getting really excited about it!  Here's a few things with the gray green and dark counters I've pinned - - not that it's what I'm going for, more just to get ideas:

gray, light and dark

gray and green

backsplash love

So we're still in the planning stages, I just wanted to share my excitement!!  I'm too lazy to go take some before pictures right now, so here's an old one where you can kind of see what's going on:
