We have similar colors - natural cherry cabs and soapstone counters. We used a slate corinth backsplash and SW Unusual Gray paint (which can look green or blue depending on the light).

Counters with Cherry cabinets. I don't love the backslash, but it does have nice color and looks nice. Maybe a similar colors but smaller or different shape tile.

You got it! Functional runnels, are usually pitched toward the sink, and we like to make them wide enough for you to put your finger in. We think this makes it easier to clean and the pitch speaks for itself. They should not be rough or square, as that would be hard to clean. One more thing to note is that many people use them more on a daily for rinsing fruit or vegetables off. Set the colander right over the runnels and the water stays contained within the runnels. I always say most people buy them for the look (at least I think that way), but they are super functional for a busy life.

Possibly add runnels to sink?

We just had Churchill installed a couple of weeks ago, with a flush-mount stainless apron sink. One reason we opted to flush mount was to avoid chipping around the sink perimeter. The soapstone is unoiled in this photo.

I like this flush mount sink. Possible mitigation for chipping at sink, vs. undercount.
