u sure you want dover white w/the verona quartz? have you painted a door sample and held it up against the countertop?

many people complain after install that the cabs look dingy next to the quartz.

Dover White on cabs and quartz countertop. this is what you want?

as for your backsplash, you aren't providing any pictures of the kitchen. how can we possible pick anything? just wait until everything is installed, post a picture and then figure out the splash.

hood vent? on something we can't see? becky, help us out here. don't have a clue what style cabinets you're doing or what the layout/ceiling/flooring looks like. post a picture because we aren't clairvoyant.

is this your countertop? then go with Simply White and a vent like this (and use the slab up the back if you have enough of it)

your creamy white paint isn't going to look like this brighter white cab color.

which brand are you using? most of what I see the white is very white. I'd seriously rethink using Dover White

Beth, I love your directness! Unfortunately our kitchen is already torn apart so I can't really take a picture and our cabinets are gone. I will have to paint a bigger Dover White sample and see. We changed our quartz to Ceasarstone Statuaria Maximus. We do not want a dingy look with our cabinets, but not a sterile look either. We've decided to paint our lower cabinets a gray that is slightly darker than our wall color of revere pewter (bm). Any suggestions?
