Hi II’m using Frosty Carrina countertops with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace cupboards. im thinking of a white subway glossy tile that matches the cabinets and a grout that matches the veins of the counters. What is a good Benjamin Moore white paint for the walls?

Was wondering if that would be too bright and cold?

Thanks again, Barb, for your helpful comments! Rebecca, that is great to hear that you also chose the Pental Carrara - and your kitchen is beautiful! I doubt I will be able to see a Pental Carrara slab until fabrication, but I think that's the way we're going....I also had thought our countertops were going to be the C. Stone London Grey, but I think the Pental sample is just as attractive. AGK, I would also suggest you look at Cambria Torquay, which is a carrara looking quartz. It is very nice looking. Some love it and others don't like the look as much, due to tiny "dots" within the pattern. I personally preferred the C.Stone samples for that reason, but photos I've seen of Torquay counters are lovely. I also considered neolith, but couldn't find fabrication info about it in my area - I've heard it makes a great counter.

White. White! White?

I'm not sure of the warranty to be honest (Sorry I just saw your post now for some reason). All I know is that TCE has the same (approximate) ratio of Quartz to Resin as the "bigger" quartz guys (ie. Caesarstone, Silestone, etc). I was afraid because of where it was manufactured it would have less actual quartz in it, but I found out they use about the same percentage (approx 93%). I was also talking to an installer who has dealt with all the brands, and he said people are very happy with their TCE products and that they hold up really, really well. So that put my mind at ease! I think like with any of the engineered stone products, you need to exercise some caution (ie. not cut beets directly on the counter, not leave red wine sitting there for long periods of time) but in general it's much more durable and resistant to staining than a marble!

Anyone who has put the Calacatta Vicenza, any regrets? I’m leaning towards that for my kitchen but I want my counter tops to be mostly white with just little specks of gray here and there. In some pictures I find Kitchens who have huge chunks of gray and very busy. Any opinions? I was also thinking about cashmere Carrara? Any help is appreciated

Why would it be any more "boring" than any other white paint.?

The color, the warmth, the accents, the LIVING.......come from many other things. Lighting, stools, and the list goes on. right down to what stays out on your counter tops.

Otherwise? Pick a real "color" that makes sense with the rest of your home. Chantilly is clean white, pairing with virtually ANY color.

A kitchen doesn't live in isolation from the rest of your home. Which is what?.

Thanks for your insight i am having the whole home painted and thought Chantilly may be too stark everywhere but maybe im wrong. Or, I could paint the kitchen Chantilly and everywhere else a warmer white. If I go that route, any suggestions ( not too yellow but soft)?

Chantilly Lace everywhere would be too cold for me, but there are many people who like the all white look. Do you have to paint before everything is installed? The best way to do this is to have the cabinets and counters installed, then pick a backsplash and paint last. Have you looked at a sample door next to your counter choice? I haven't seen Frosty Carrina in person but the description of it on Caesarstone's website refers to it as being ivory. How does that look with Chantilly Lace which is a very white-white? What color are your floors? The reason Jan Moyer is asking you about the rest of the house is because context is very important. Is this a new build or a remodel? Can you show us some pictures for context?

Thank you. i dont have pic as it‘s my cottage. the floor will be wide planked wood in a light colour with knots showing. the island will be Hale navy with the same Frostt Carrina counter. using brass handles and faucet, in a deep brone (Brizo Luxe Gold). i can’t match a light pendant over the island so will likely be glass with a little black (which matches the dining room light as it’s open concept). The floors will go throughout so I’d like the paint to be soft . There will be different lighting in all rooms/hall .
