thank you so much! I went with White shaker, however, there was a slight angle on the inside frame. I used Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee. The cabinets were custom made by an older Italian man who is 79 years old, Marty. this gentleman spent four years on all the crown molding, baseboards, and cabinets at the San Francisco City Hall. He moved out of town to be near his grandchildren and was getting bored so we started doing kitchen cabinets.

What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing!

The laminate will have perfect grain matching, color, and will out perform the real thing more inexpensively.

Use the same quartzite OR find a tile or mosaic that complements all the elements in the kitchen.

If you are running out of money, just leave it with painted drywall for now and come back to it in 2 years. A painted backsplash is perfectly functional while you wait. Just make sure your counter installer gets a nice tight fit with the back wall, so let him know there will be no backsplash for now and the back edge needs to look neat/clean up against the wall.
