If it's not too late and you haven't already done so, I suggest posting this on the "Discussions" side of Kitchens. This is the "Gallery" side that's more for finished kitchens and the like. The Discussions side of Kitchens is for on-topic discussions concerning kitchen remodels. You will most likely get many more responses over there. Good luck!

Oooh...I am just so excited that we're finally getting back on track TODAY! The counters will go in on Monday. I've ordered the backsplash tile from Walker Zanger. Colors??? Finally! I'm going with Parchment from C2 as the wall color and Delicata for the upper cabinets and bookshelf. I'm a little nervous about the Delicata...is it too bright...too dark...too...??? But I've just had to take the leap. Here are the elements... I just love the countertop. The backsplash is half stone (pretty neutral, mostly beigy-grey with some coppery-orange accents) and half irridescent glass that IMO really picks up on the Quartzite's crystalline feel. Since some of the stone pieces have a bit of a orange color I hope that the Delicata works as an upbeat accent. I was concerned with the kitchen being a bit too dark with all the Wenge cabinets. The paint colors aren't right here, but you can see a bit more of the backsplash sparkle. Here's a bit of where we are... As of today, that dreadful yellow on the walls will be the parchment. The painted-with-primer upper cabinets in the top kitchen picture (they'll have frosted glass panels) and the bookshelves will be Delicata. Counters go in on Monday. And the backsplash is on backorder...of course. This has been a hard process. I so hope it all turns out. Thank you SO MUCH for your support with all this!

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.

I bought the 4x15/16 tiles at a tile store in Savannah, GA. Don't know how they're by...just bought 2 as samples.
