10 years agoI went with Silestone Lagoon quartz tops with white painted cabinets by Plain & Fancy. The color is called Cascade White. It's not a white white....and doesn't have too much yellow in it.
I also was worried about doing a white marble backsplash but found a perfect tile at The Tile Shop that has more swirlies with grey. Some of the other marble subway tiles I saw had too much yellow and gold in them (ie Florida Tile).
I am going with Ace Hardware Paint "Clark & Kensington" in either Harbor Lane #1044 or Union Pier #1034. The first is a pale robin's egg blue/aqua. The second is equally as muted but more of a colonial slate blue.
My kitchen colors will be more on the cool side (greys, blues, blacks).

Silestone Lagoon with white vanity cabinet?
Comments (2)I did white cabinets with Lagoon in my kitchen and I'm in awe every time I walk in to the room. Here's a photo, partially finished....See MoreSilestone Lagoon or Caesarstone London Grey?
Comments (67)Following up with a few more details.. Counter edge is Eased 1.5 inch thick. Quartz thickness was 2cm. Fabricators built up the edge to 1.5 inches with mitred corners. The mitre cut hides the seam totally. In CA this is a standard process. 2cm Ceasarstone will not properly cover the 5/8 inch plywood rough top the cabinet maker installs. I almost went with an ogee edge since the house and kitchen is traditional style. But I thought it might be too busy for shaker. The eased edge works well with shaker style. I chose ogee for the bath vanity where the cabinets and crown are more detailed. It fits perfectly in the bath. Or if you have a center island ogee is a nice choice on the island with eased edge on the perimeter. Alot of people opt for that... The floor color is Natural Timber glazed chestnut. I used a dark brown grout but should have gone 1 darker to espresso or possibly black. The grout lines wound up lighter than the tile even though it looked like a good match before install. I went with 1/16th on the spacing, however the box recommends no closer than 1/8th. 1/8th grout lines are wide and the floor will look less like hardwood but I'm not sure if ignoring the directions will compromise my floor in any way down the road. I had the installer avoid "stair step" install method and tried to achieve random length install to mimic hardwood. Essentially when he got to a wall and had to cut a piece I had him start on the other side with the cut piece to achieve a random look. It worked for the most part but this process is tricky. It is better to be there the entire time they are installing so you can make the decisions. I much prefer real wood. The white oak with dark stain pictured all over houzz are the most beautiful kitchen floors but with a 3 yr old it doesn't seem practical, I think it would have gotten destroyed. The wood plank tile is a nice alternative and the cleanup is very easy. Alot of people have actually mistaken it for solid wood. The finish is a matte. Every crumb shows but I'm assuming this is the case with any dark brown floor. One of the keys is finding the tile that is 48 in long, this is the same size a lot of solid wood planks come in. The tile that is 24 in long leaves too many grout lines all over the floor and compromises the wood look. The long plank tiles create some issues with install though, it is wise to have someone who has installed these before. The 24 inch pieces are easier to install.

Comments (1)Did you ever finish this bathroom? I would love to see pictures of what you did. I am helping a friend who is using Silestone Lagoon to remodel a bathroom to sell. She is wondering about cabinet colors and wall colors....See MoreHelp with Quartz Countertop Please
Comments (46)Wanted to give you an update on what we've selected so far. Got the Super White Quartzite countertop, and decided on White Thassos Herringbone tile backsplash. Just need to decide on grout and what color white to paint the cabinets. The Thassos is looking pretty white and we want to use a light/soft gray grout to have low contrast between the tile and grout. I also want to make sure the cabinets don't look dingy or yellow compared to the backsplash. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! You guys are the best!!! Here is a picture of the backsplash: Here's the backsplash with both Warm Gray (lighter one on the left) and Platinum (darker on right). Hubby is making another board with Frost (it's lighter). Once he finishes, I'll post that too. Here is a close up...See Moremandkirswill

10 years ago"What color did you paint your cabinets? Also what are you planning for backsplash? I would like some contrast - I can't decide whether I should do Lagoon on the island and some kind of grey counter on the perimeter with white backsplash OR paint the island grey. Curious what you are planning. Thanks!"
Mandkirswill, I selected a factory finish from my cabinet manufacturer called Cascade White. It is not a Sherwin Williams finish. Sorry can't help you there.
After much deliberation, I have decided to stick with a white marble subway tile and then paint my walls. This way, I can change out my color scheme whenever I want. The Tile Shop has a gorgeous pale green marble subway tile that I almost went with....but then I'd be tied to green forever.
The tile I went with is called Meram Blanc in a 3x6....which is new and not on the shelves or their website yet. Click link below to see it on their website...or see my picture below of the store's sample board. It goes GREAT with fake quartz marble tops like Lagoon or Torquay!
You should go with what you love! But I am considering a grey island as the next phase and then putting on a CraftArt wood top on it. I love my light white perimeters...I think I would tire of a grey top unless it has the same type pattern as a marble.
