Are you talking about solid white? We have a medium stain and have Cambria Whitney that looks white from a distance but close up it has sparkles and gray flecks. I did have a Silestone sample that was pretty much just white. Called Zeus maybe? Here's a pic of ours:

Up close, it doesn't look white, more of a light gray maybe.

We have Ceasarstone Organic White. It looks white from a distance, but up close there is a bit of detail in it. Very happy so far with appearance and durability.

@feisty68: thanks for reminding me. I wasn't able to find older threads, so I thought posting a new thread might help others in the same situation. The house was built in 1868 and has a Mansard roof. Very little architectural detail has been preserved on the inside. The first floor basically consists of three 13'x13' boxes connected by arched openings: a front living room with a bay window, a dining room, and the kitchen in the rear. All rooms have the same red oak flooring in a reddish tone very similar to Adel Medium Brown. The door on the east wall, which is being resized, leads to a tiny room (can be used as a pantry) on the north and the outside on the south. The nook on wall D leads to the dining room. The door on Wall C leads to a bathroom. http://kitchenplanner.ikea.com/US/UI/Pages/VPUI.htm?LoadDesign=8bf8333e60ed4994bff77dfdf111ee09&UIContext=Kitchen&IsSharedDesign=1 Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Older Thread: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0420205914987.html

Fsal, that poultice works pretty good for oil stains. I tried it a few years ago on my carrara (before it was properly sealed). made the paste and covered it with a moistened paper towel, and then the plastic wrap. left it for a day or two. it does draw up the oil. you may have to repeat. They also sell these poultices ready-made (search "marble poultice") for stains. ILoveMod quartz is man-made. quartzite is natural. (quartzite is made of natural quartz but it's called quartzite). as for the resin, cheaper quality quartz may use a cheaper resin/materials. The most common yellow stains on any quartz brand countertop are the following; 1) General yellowing to the entire quartz surface due to build up of salts & surfactants 2) Around under mounted sinks - due to salts & surfactants in dish soaps. High pH 3) high use & cleaned area. 4) Under coffee machines 5) under pot plants on the quartz countertop 6) under dish mats or drying mats near the sink 7) under fish tanks. All of the above allow the salts & surfactants to form and generate the quartz countertops causing the yellow or light brown staining. As you will notice that UV light does not generate dish mats, under fish tanks and also pot plants. Whilst UV light can accelerate the yellow staining to white quartz countertops. IT IS NOT THE CAUSE! (they even mention high humidity and relation to salt water as contributing!)

101streitired. looks very nice. could I offer one tiny bit of advice? thanks! The window. what you have is all very white and very solid. the mini blind is my pet peeve over kitchen windows. let me show you a photo shop of a new window treatment, and possibly a sconce. ( realize you can't do a pendant, and I know you have the trim piece across the front. but at least look at the window treatments) don't be afraid to add some cutting boards and greenery to the mix either

Both are looking nice!

I am going use the same color for the whole house 5 full baths, laundry, kitchen with island and serving bar. Therefore , I would rather keeping it simple as much as possible.

Is it weird ?

Thanks

I have Ceasarstone Organic White in my kitchen and two bathrooms also. We love it in our modern/industrial vibe condo. You should definitely look at the various colors with your cabinet door in hand -- I think Organic White might be "too" white for medium stain maple cabinets.

We have Silestone Bamboo on the island and Daltile One Quartz in Summer Dawn on our perimeter.

Recommend you look at samples side by side. The Silestone White Zeus Extreme was the whitest to my eye but some of the quartz products may "read" a little more beige, yellow, blue etc. depending on the lighting and cabinet color. Jdez's is called Stellar Snow, it has silvery and gray metallic flakes in it for a little "bling".

houses 14, the Bamboo and the Summer Dawn are more beigey than white. If you want to see, go to Synergy Builders' page (West Chicago) on Houzz, we are the "cozy Shaker Style kitchen" listed in the first row of photos.

We just got done installing our new kitchen and we went with Ceasarstone Nougat. It's white but with tan and gray flecks, not much sparkle. We LOVE it! Our cabinets are dark, but the slight color in the quartz really warms it up.

Install day:

I think Nougat was one we looked at as well -- a nice white!
