Hello haylescakes, I think it just need a bit of care.. I would definitely not mix it.. Granite, like Marble or any other luxury stone, even woods do need some attention.. I have bamboo and that too requires a bit of effort.... Wiping down and a regular re oil.. However I think it is really really worth it. Also it does last and would definitely look all the better for the little bit of effort.. I also made several chopping boards with off cuts!! Gr8 way to use up the material and useful too! For colours I would look to finding something lighter than black.. I think you could really go for something amazing... Firstly though think of the colours in the kitchen... If it's a blank canvas, so to speak and any colour would work... Ie you have white worktops... Then really go for something striking... I have just found a few colours from a company online that are quite interesting..I'd say do some research into pricing and ask for samples.. Or visit a showroom to get an idea... Get as many samples as you need before deciding.. I think the more natural looking as possible... Some of them can look manufactured.. You could also add a small splash back panel.. Narrow is quite tasteful, the have a really chalky matt paint on the walls and matt paint for the cupboards..... Lastly think of finish.. squared off edges are in my eyes more tasteful.. but you can look at that and decide what you like the look of :)) Cosmic black... Siena BordeauxVerde MarinaceKinawa

Hi guys, Thanks both for the comments - I should have been clearer - the cornice (and above the picture rail) are already painted in slaked lime... they were a very big job and am definitely not doing them again - I used the same colour as the walls and ceiling as whilst they're lovely, they have some areas where they're not in great condition so needed them to blend in slightly (they've had quite a bit of repair work etc!). The grey we've chosen for the kitchen (though not painted yet so up for debate!) is 'dash of soot' with the 'dock blue' on the island. I think painting the doors and skirting could look good painted in the same blue... but I'm not sure I could do the windows as well - we're getting into seriously dark territory then!! Minnie - I love that picture - and it shows how the pale and the blue could look lovely together on a wall! We're definitely going brass for handles and knobs so will check out buster and punch - thanks for the tip! And it's interesting what you say about the kitchen cabinet colours AJ.... the indigo blue would be on the island - with the wall cupboards (which dont have a gap for the worktop - but the top cabinets are set back a little showing an oak worktop - with appliance garage etc) going up very tall - to 255cm.... we thought having these a paler colour would stop them closing in on the room - and I'm not sure we're keen on a paler blue - but nor did we want a cream/beige - like a darker version of the slaked lime might look... It's so tricky to know if we're doing the right thing! And are doing the work ourselves so aren't keen on having to do too much more of the painting than we need to! Cheers Greg

Hi Sarah, Huge rug under dining table - big yes! As I mentioned before, just make sure it it doesn't have a deep pile and is fairly easy to clean / hoover. This will break up the black considerably! The rug size needs to be big enough to pull all your chairs out and they still sit on the rug - that's the minimum right size. Just a thought about finding the right paint colour for your walls and cabinets to brighten everything up. When my family took a trip down to cornwall, we stayed in this lovely cottage in the country-side. The cottage had small little deep windows, so didn't get much light in. However the cottage was so bright, warm & crisp. It had been painted a white that really really worked - white can be tricky to get right. So I called the owners of the cottage to see if they had a paint can laying around so I could find out the exact colour. It was straight Brilliant White - standard paint you can get for kitchens, walls, ceilings, masonry, etc in whatever finish you need (matt, sheen, semi-gloss or gloss). I've used it a couple of times sinse to freshen up or update an area, to make small spaces pop, or just to bring a whole space that crisp - perfect white look to show off art and objects (it is one of the few whites that can do so well as art and objects usually look dull or get lost with a plain white background). This might help with your project as it is the best paint for reflecting light and brightening your areas - but it is bright - so you will have to do a test area to see if it is too bright for you, in which case go with a white toned down from that. Think the rug(s) & the paint colour change of walls & cabinets will work the best for you since you've spent a lot on your interior already and your husband likes it as is - it is hard to justify large costs when your partner thinks it is great and you've already spent a lot.. Good luck!
