		<description>Hi Annette

My general rule is that the floor and counter should co-ordinate with each other and should contrast with the cabinets. So if you want cherry cabinets (you don&#039;t mention what shade the cabinets will be) I would suggest a floor and counter that are a lighter color than the cabinets.
If you check out photos of kitchens that have dark cabinets, counter and floor it all gets a bit dreary and dark. That might be the choice for a young bachelor who only uses the fridge and microwave, but most women want a lighter feel in the kitchen.
If you want to go with the Richlite counters I would suggest the Sage, Baguette or Hemp colors and co-ordinate the floor tile with the counter. A black floor will be a very high maintenance since it will show every crumb and piece of lint. Choose a faux slate or stone tile with a variety of colors including the cabinet and counter colors. This will give you a finished product that will stand the test of time and look warm and inviting.
Let me know what you narrow down your choices to and I will give you some final advice to let you know if you are on the right track before you make any commitments.

Regards, Yvonne</description>

		<description>Dear Yvonne,

I would like to know about color organization so I really need your opinion and experience.

   I loved the RICHLITE sample (for &#039;green&#039; countertops) because it feels like  smooth petrified wood and it needs NO maintanence and  its so strong, it needs no under support (does not stain either).     
I liked the REDSTONE color in the Richlite paperstone product (the other limited colors were Mountain green, black, and browns/yellowish)

I thought at first,  the Mountain green color would look great on white or neutral color cabinets but I want to have cherry color cabinets or a darker color cabinets instead (tired of the white and neutrals).

Would the REDSTONE countertop be OK with the cherrywood cabinets?   If that is good, can I use black slate floors?    I used to love the multicolor slates but got tired of it  when it started to look to &#039;busy&#039; so I started to admire the green/blue Vermont or soft black slate floors (in large rectangle shapes, hate squares lately).

I have a feeling you would say &quot;black&quot; counters is the best for slate floor and cherrywood cabinets but if I select black, I&#039;d rather have that beautiful Black Galaxy GRANITE with the gold/copper flecks..... and I do not want granite material  (I hate the clinking sound when the glass or dishes hit the granite and they are easily shattered when it hits/falls on the granite counters). 
  The black Richlite didn&#039;t appeal to me for some reason, so I&#039;m hoping you&#039;d say the REDSTONE would be good?    The Redstone was called &quot;Merlot&quot; before they changed the name of the color.

Sorry about such a long message but I&#039;m trying to convey my taste to you so that you can correct me in some way...

thanks
