Although the tile will be below the white cabinets, it won't have the same lighting (being either in the shadow of the cabinets or being lit with UC lighting, which may have a different effect than the overhead lighting). So trying to match the cabinets without having everying in place is probably an exercise in tilting at windmills. I think all three choices would probably look fine, so you are starting from a good point. The silk matches the counter the best. The pearl is closest to the cabs UNDER THE LIGHTING IN THE PHOTOS. But I don't have a strong preference, and I do think that there's a good chance that lighting would completely change my evaluation.

Thank you all again for your feedback. I think we decided to go with tumbled travertine in a white/beige color for the backsplash instead of the brick. Couple questions: - For a small space would you recommend small brick shaped tiles, brick shape and size tiles, or square tiles? We don't want to do the real thin tiles. -We are thinking about square porcelain floor tiles, placed in a diamond shaped pattern because we understand that will make our small kitchen appear bigger. If we do a square tile backsplash would you place them in a diamond pattern as well to match the floor pattern? -We are thinking of a medium beige color floor...the floors we have are original to the house and have to go! We can't do wood because of the way the kitchen is laid out with the rest of the house where we already have wood. Thanks in advance!

If this were my project, I'd do the white kitchen cabinets and furnish the space before touching the trim. I'm not sure I'd paint all that trim. I now you are excited about the idea and having some inspiration, but give the idea some time and test it -- develop some other features first. The trim will be easy to address later, but a real mess if it doesn't play out the way you expect. I hear you about all that wood, but that's also all you are seeing without furnishings in the space. The listing photos had at least 2 rugs ad five pieces of upholstered furniture and chair seat cushions. The color and contrast faded the wood into the background and now in the empty or nearly empty room, it's all you are seeing. The room needs furnishing to feel welcoming and painted trim will not furnish it. And then there is the fact that I'm not sure you will get the look you want. There are a lot of differences between that inspiration photo and your space -- white vs. wood ceilings, beams vs no beams, number of window sizes and shapes. The inspiration room has a group of matching windows. Your room has so many different size and shape windows hung at different heights - even the doors are different sizes, and white paint on all of that will accentuate it. And start fighting the beams and other architectural details and whatever else you put in the room. Once you furnish the room, you may find you have a clown competing for attention and wish it would just fade back into the background. Do the kitchen, start furnishing or developing your plan for furnishing. Get rid of the previous owner's dark valances, chose something with some color, consider lighter fabrics and/or shades and work the room before you decide to tackle the trim. Instead of your computer design images, take an actual photo of the room and mock up all the trim in white so you can see the irregular sizes and shapes, the ceiling angles and beams and see if you would still go that route. Sorry it that is not what you want to hear, but I'd step back from the paint can for now.

Trim and cabinets don't have to match, but matching whites can be very challenging so it's often a smart choice to use the same color. I'd paint them Alabaster as well, it's a nice color
