Which white granite and backsplash to go with my blue gray cabinets?
Hi guys! I have a dilemma with my kitchen again. We are finally doing our countertops and I don't know which white granite and backsplash will look good with our bluish gray cabinets. I want a clean look, nothing traditional but my husband likes something bold. We had installed dark espresso bamboo wood floors. We will eventually paint after we install the countertops and pick a backsplash.
I originally wanted Carrera marble but had no idea how expensive it was!! I found something similar in granite called "white graysia"(pic below). I like how the whole marble look is classic but in trend right now. I also picked this gray, white matchstick backslash to go with it. My husband thinks all of it will be too bland. So we took a look at "white ice" (pic) but I don't care for the warm yellow in it. Looked at "antique white" but it looked too creamy. "Ice blue" (pic) looked nice but I'm not sure if will work with the cabinets.
I looked online and found many more such as "river white" and "super white" but they all vary from pic to pic. At this point I'm driving myself crazy because we have to give a final decision by Monday morning!
Pls if anyone can give me some ideas on countertops with names and backsplash color ideas I would really reallly appreciate it!!! I wouldn't mind paint color or lighting suggestions either ;D I will include a pic of part of the kitchen and some pics of the slabs I saw at the warehouse. Thank you!!! Hope to hear from you all soon!

7 years agoWould you consider a quartz? My cabinets are a gray/blue wash and I selected Compac Lactea for my countertops. Install is Monday if you are interested.

Comments (25)oh mayflowers forgot to say that I like the idea of adding cabinets to back of peninsula area but was also thinking of having two backless bar stools with black leather seats there as well. Will have to think about the wainscoating and now that I look closely the area could use an update and it is scuffed up. the more we look the more we see that needs help with this house Ugh thanks so much Here is the living room, my carpenter is fashioning a pine wood free floating mantle as we speak, it will have oil on it and natural tones. We have sofa facing the fireplace that's a thin cordoroy material in a light blue/green and plan to have an accent chair against the other wall (the staircase wall) with perhaps some type of server or china cabinet over there, dining area is too small for china cabinet but might be able to have a behind the sofa credenza (for more storage) we also plan to have an area rug in front of the sofa. I am looking for a gray one with texture if I can find one. what do you think of those ideas? Right now the dining area has a work table we're using till we find what we want lol...See MoreCabinet paint and backsplash help to go with white macaubus
Comments (2)I can't really help with white paint colors. We are doing a back-painted glass backsplash in Dunn Edwards Haze Blue with our White Macaubas counters. The WM looks great with greys, greyish blues and greyish green blues....See MoreBacksplash advice for my grey & white kitchen
Comments (28)Jeffrey court riverwash is very similar to fireclay foggy morning. My local tile store had both on hand, and they were *very* close. Fireclay comes in a wide range of sizes. It's pricey, but absolutely gorgeous. I was also shopping for a tile like this. My short list included Senio Newport in Alabaster Craquele or Transparent White. And my very favorite was an italian tile I hadnt heard of before... I cant remeber the manuf name, and my quote just says Aspen Loft Bianco in White. It was a white tile, but with an interesting finish, almost metallic. Looked so nice with my marble-esque quartz counters. All of these were in the $11/sqft range. Here is the aspen loft bianco -...See MoreBacksplash Help - Alaska White Granite, Off White Cabinets
Comments (20)Oh my gosh! I'm reading all of your posts right now to my Hubby so he'll know I'm NOT the only one who can't make a decision on a backsplash! LOL I have the white Alaska granite countertops as well. It has been well over a year and I still can't decide! And although I do love them, it's such a hard decision to match them with a BS! I'm so happy I came across all of your posts. I know your struggles! However, hopefully, by now you have found the perfect backsplash for your kitchen countertops! Please post pictures if you have time. I'd really enjoy seeing some of the choices you have made. Karen backsplash less in Florence, Oregon :(...See Morerenoremo
