I want a long shelf on each side of the rangehood (basically a shelf where the chicken picture is and on the other side of the rangehood). The shelves I have on the other side of the kitchen are natural pine and black brackets. White brackets a good idea, but should I paint the NEW shelves white or leave them natural wood like the CURRENT shelves?

So can someone please help? Do I go with 3 shelves - staggered, 3 shelves even, or 2 shelves even? I think I'm going to keep my existing cabinets as-is. I have under-cabinet lighting there, a nice backsplash and would rather have that space opened. With staggered, I have room on the left side for tall items and room on the right for a utensil hook or maybe a bar. 2 even shelves gives head clearance and storage. 3 even shelves - more storage. The shelves will be 12" deep and walnut color. Thanks!

I have the Symphony Grey in as my countertop on my vanity. It is not rugged looking. When I selected it, I selected it from a sample, but the countertop has bits of glitter and the veining does not give it a concrete feel. I like it fine in my bathroom vanity, but am very glad I did not choose it for my kitchen. You are right that the gray is a warmer tone, which I liked when I selected it, but it does not look like concrete. I agree with Izzy that there are other options in quartz that look more like concrete than this product.

Hahaha! April 11 a comment further up this page got me five Likes! The thing is, it makes absolutely no sense and I don't even know what I was talking about. But my fellow Houzzers understood and liked it! Lol! I quote:" Thanks for this! The quartz I have is Cambria Berwyn and it is a mix of warm white and cooler ones. So let's hope it bridges the gap. ;) The carpet in the room through the door is similar to the paint cabinetry." WHAT??? :) I love you guys, ...sniff. However, I found this image in my files...I really like these chairs. They have a patterned fabric. Much easier to keep clean looking...
