Seeing stuff in someone elses space is not helpful . Unless of course they have everything you have in your including the lighting, the flooring the cabinet color. Get some samples and bring them home to what you like. I will say do not buy handles or knobs before you have chosen every other thing except backsplash and wall color . What is the espresso colored piece?

I have these...I found Sterling Light and Phoenix Sky very similar. Aurora Frost is a similar family but different veining patterns. I like the Vadara materials - they are more bold and more natural looking than most other brands IMO.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting, I am a fabricator so I have all the samples, but don’t keep full slabs of each color at my facility. My clients often want to see real photos. The samples are too small to truly show the size and pattern of the veining. However since posting this, I have found that Vadara has a tab on their website called Style Gallery if I remember correctly. It has tons of installed pics of each color. I’ve been using that since. Vadara is probably my top seller in Quartz.

Eliza- I would look into the Phoenix Sky a bit more. I just saw some pictures installed and they look very different from that sample I have. Much less character. I can't find a slab anywhere which is odd.

I went to Vadera the other day and looked at Phoenix Sky and Aurora slabs. It is definitely important to see the full slab in person. The Aurora had a very orange vein through it that I didn't care for but was not present on the sample. The Phoenix sky was really nice. I think that is the route I am going. I was going to go with Dekton Morpheus. It is gorgeous but more movement and veining that I think I can handle long term.

@eliza barone Hi! Wondering what paint color you chose with Sterling Light? Struggling to find the right white that doesnt make it look dingy or blue etc.

Melanie, I’m a fabricator bit homeowner so I’m not sure of what paints my clients have used. Would your fabricator let you take a sample home for a few days so you can use it to pick a paint? Or just go to where they have full slabs near you and bring a lot of paints chips with you.
