*Update *decided on countertop! PleaseHelp me make a decision *pics in album*
I can't decide on my kitchen countertops. I'm stuck between two different Quartz . My husband likes the darker one because he doesn't want a totally "white" kitchen. While I like both I think like the marble look. Here are pictures of all the samples together . The lantern tile will be above the stove in a picture frame look. I will put the pictures an my album.
UPDATE*** I picked out my countertop ...sea pearl quartzite!! .... Somehow I deleted the original pictures in my album .. But here is a picture of the quartzite in my album!

I like the darker one, but they're both nice.

I really like them both but I think I like the darker one a smidgen better.
I think either would look absolutely gorgeous and totally see how you're having trouble deciding!

the darker one makes the backsplash pop more.

loveeee the darker one
ETA: changed my mind after seeing a pic of the backsplash. I vote the lighter one. I think it looks better with the backsplash

My friend came over and when I showed her pictures she said the marble looking one definitely .... When she came over and saw it in person She said definitely the darker one.. I have to say the darker one doesn't photograph well.. It has shiney subtle specs in it and is very pretty. This decision is driving me nuts! My husband really doesn't want the marble looking one bc he is against real marble next to an imitation one he said it will clash in his opinion..... I will post pictures when the kitchen is finished in a month.

Definitely the marble one. The darker one looks to busy for me and I think I would tire of it quickly.

I like the lighter one better. It is classic and will stay in style longer.

Personally, I like the lighter one with that backsplash. You can add color with accent pieces, but you can't take away the darkness of the other one.
I have a dark quartz in my kitchen, but I also have simple single color backsplash.

There are so many options and IMO you can find something that blends better and looks timeless.
I am in the process of a kitchen remodel in my condo. I am getting the same style shaker door as you and also chose porcelain "wood" plank flooring. The cabinets are being installed tomorrow and then I am choosing a quartz counter top. I think I have narrowed the choices down to Caesarstone Frosty Carrina, London Fog or Bianco Drift.
Definitely take a look at the London Fog (gray and ivory toned) or Bianco Drift (gray, beige and ivory toned). I think the Bianco Drift would look awesome with your cabs, backspalsh and flooring.
Keep us updated and I will keep you updated with my selection as well. If you want, I can send you pics.

I like the lighter one :)
We had the hardest time picking our countertops!! So hard with such a small sample. We actually scheduled an appt with Cambria and went to their warehouse - they set up 3 big slabs for us to see a bigger version. Sometimes they look totally different when bigger.
