I am planning to paint the kitchen cabinets in an old house we are buying. I've included some photos of what the kitchen looks like now. As you will see, the cabinets have been painted an blue-green-aqua-ish color that looks a bit like the color of oxidized copper. The cabinets themselves were built in the 1970's out of floorboards reclaimed from the attic. At some point later, the granite counter tops were added, and as you can see, they are a tan/brown color (with other tones/accents within, like all granite).

In my view, the color of the cabinets clashes with the granite -- although the color itself is kind of charming and antique-y, the aqua and the brown look sort of strange together. And although I don't love the color of the granite, it will be a lot less expensive to repaint the cabinets than to replace the granite. There are other blue accents in the kitchen (window valances, tablecloth and a painted border near the ceiling) that we do not plan to keep, so there won't be any blue in the room. The walls are a very bright white, and the floor is reddish-brown brick. There are many windows and it is a very bright room. There are some original unpainted beams in the kitchen (as well as an unpainted pot rack over the island), and I plan to leave those as is.

What color (or colors) would you use to paint these cabinets and the island? It has to be something that's sympathetic with both the granite and the brick floor. I'm not opposed to painting the cabinets one color and the island a different color. I was thinking of using Annie Sloan chalk paint, but am not wedded to that either.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
