Light gray kitchen accented with gray wash wood floors boasts light gray shaker cabinets donning oil rubbed bronze hardware and a white marble countertop holding a farmhouse sink with a copper gooseneck faucet beneath stacked wooden shelves flanked by gray upper cabinets mounted on a white subway tile backsplash contrasted with dark grout.
Use a non sanded grout to protect both the marble and the grout from discoloring too much.

White grout is a risk in bathrooms though as everyone mentions.
Still a very pretty look which we love.
Thank you for your post.
