A dark quartz countertop could give you great contrast if you plan on keeping the lower cabinets. Quartz is one of the most durable, can take a hot pot, doesn't scar and requires minimal care. (All other stone types have limitations and require extra work.) Daytime photos would give a better idea of what you have in the way of upper cabinets and light fixtures, how much light you get. Also, need some comment on your decorating style -- modern/cottage/traditional, etc. -- and color preferences. What rooms does this kitchen connect to? In the meantime, look into replacing the cabinet doors. These look somewhat 70s, and you may enjoy a wood or a color. There are a lot of companies that specialize in refacing cabinets. Some glass doors might be interesting. Search houzz for kitchens you like; that will help you focus on what changes you want to make and will help us make suggestions.

What does hubby think of this combination from your idea book [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mill-valley-ca-transitional-bathroom-san-francisco-phvw-vp~206982[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/mill-valley-ca-transitional-bathroom-san-francisco-phvw-vp~206982) Alternatively, take a look at this post https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/help-urgent-advice-on-bathroom-tile-to-hallway-threshold-transition-dsvw-vd~3700185?n=93 (a lot of heartache to wade through but towards bottom of comments you can see they have combined a mosaic marble floor with large format 300 X 600 rectified white gloss tiles on walls which is lovely)

Hi Kathy, based on your pic I'm thinking your roof might be Dulux Traditional Colours Crescendo Green or something very similar. Crescendo Green, Cream, the dreaded Mission Brown, Indian Red & Brunswick Green were all heavily used in the 80's when painting everything in heritage colours was 'on trend'. If you are not changing the roof colour I would suggest working with the colour and balancing it out, rather than trying to disguise it will give you the best outcome. Dulux Traditional Colours Silver Grey could work with your green, perhaps picking out the trim in Colourbond Basalt to tie everything together. I would avoid blues with that roof colour, but it's your home so find a colour scheme you love and enjoy your home.
