Our painter has done many homes' cabinets. They use a semi-gloss and it looks great. Just not sure how long-lasting it will be. (We will probably sell in 5 years.). The veining on the Botanica is pretty light. The older version of it - when it was made in China - was much darker.

Karen, accessible beige would look awesome. Would love to see it finished if you do end up using the Prado. Prado absolutely has the warmth and brown in the vein, with some gray too. Plus, the Prado looks way more natural IMO to all the other Quartz. If you like the look of the Prado, you should also look into Vadara Quartz if it’s available near you. Vadara will be a little more $ probably. But they’re my fav manufacturer, about 75% of their colors are also extremely natural looking. Not so much of that stark artificial white, but more of a milky marble looking style. Look up Sereno Gold or Calacatta Oro. Those would also look fantastic with the beige paint. 😊

Look under my posts… I have pics of Calacatta Mirragio Gold. It’s been a while but I think Arno was more of a rust veining if I have the right name. The other one was gray so I’m assuming you are comparing gold and brown… the samples I saw definitely had a strong rust undertone.

Hi there- hkmckinney93 I have been shopping porcelain countertops for awhile and am seriously considering MSI Stile in Arabescato. I have a very experienced fabricator/installer lined up, but haven't reserved the slabs yet or put money down simply because several other components of our kitchen remodel are held up (flooring, appliances) several months. While weve been waiting Ive heard prices have gone up $6 per sq ft. Did you end up making a selection from MSI or another mfg? If so what did you use and how do you like it? The other threads on Houzz about porcelain are scary because there's a lot of complaints -but I have to wonder if the people who post are the ones who are upset, not the people who are satisfied (they don't bother). Hard to know if this is a poor choice (porcelain). Thoughts?
