Rebekah Zaveloff 2x4

nadineoman Where did you get those subway tiles and what color? I love them (and also live in Chicago).

Rebekah Zaveloff These are from Hudson Valley Lighting - I think the Wilhamette fixture

kshutt Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Rebekah Zaveloff It's an undercabinet GE Monogram with a custom duct cover made locally.

Rebekah Zaveloff The main material is White Palmas granite (may be called something different in your region. The lower desk/baking area is honed Cararra marble.

klp1996 Rebekah - I love all of your work! You have such great insighs! We are building a home with Yorktowne Cabinets in antique white (definitely a cream color that is darker than a "Dove White"). We are strongly considering Kashmir White or Silver Kashmir (the same thing where we are looking) and it's a mix of grays, taupes with some cream and dark brown - very similiar to granite pictured above. In your expert opinion, do you think mixing grays and taupes with a warmer cream color will make the cream cabinets look yellow? Thanks in advance!!!

spectoka I was at the Ann Sacks store and they couldn't tell me what this was. Ghost gloss in person looks very taupe, nowhere near any shade of white like you might expect from the name and/or this photo. If you want a light grey you might try Dove.

lisasheehanbrothers Thank you! I was looking for a white tile that went with BM white dove painted cabinets.

woolhall I am in the same boat and would love to know the color ofmthe cabinets also! : )

Michiko Fuller It's Michael S. Smith Signature tile.

Vanessa Brunner I think you could honestly do either — it just depends on what kind of look you're going for. How dark exactly is the granite you're using? Do you happen to have a photo of it? That makes a big difference.
In the meantime, here are a couple shots that might give you a good idea of what black or white tile would look like:

Hope that helps!

mrsaul Well, yeah, they'll probably look really good...but you should consider that a black countertop will pretty much dictate the feel of the room. The kitchen in this picture would look and feel totally different with dark counters. I would suggest looking for inspiration in pictures with black countertops to get a better idea of what your finished kitchen will look like. Something with light subway tiles will definitely come up.

Anne DeCocco I'm not Rebekah, but maybe she'll see my response and chime in. Imperial and Kashmir will both give you a very similar look as what you see in this kitchen. It's got a polished finish looks great. You can do this too!

bepsf MIght want to narrow it down a bit - Since your counters will be white and I'm guessing your cabinets will be white as well, you could go with a colorful backsplash to make it interesting.

Personally, I'd take your cabinetry, flooring and countertop samples to your tile supplier and have a look at what is available, within your budget and strikes your fancy - The possibilities are endless!

Kerstin Dieterich Designs Most custom cabinet lines will allow you to add the divider like you see here on the upper cabinets. Otherwise it is a modified inset shaker style. Very pretty!

MJ Ferrero Que luz! Una preciosidad. Yo me quedaba a vivir en esa cocina!!

kandy smith huh? lol

Rebekah Zaveloff It's called White Palmas locally here in Chicago! White Kashmir is close.

ewoods You might also look for Valley White or River White (also called NEW Bianco Romano.
