Here's another example of warmer white cabinets with the marble.

Here is a link that might be useful: cream cabinets

I have white cabinets - they are thermofoil, not painted, so they are a very bright white. I have blue pearl granite on my perimeters, but statuary (same color scheme as carrara) on my island. If I had a redo, I would have pushed for the marble in the entire kitchen! (I also have all blues and grays in my house.)

I have Carrara on the backsplash and picked a color from my cabinet manufacturer called "Cotton White". It is a white with a grey undertone. The ceiling is BM Chantilly Lace, which is very close to the cabinet color. The counters are grey, however, and the walls a grey-green (BM "Spa")

gooster- can you tell me what you have on your countertops? Don't mean to hijack the thread.

I am doing carrera and selecting the "white" from Aristocraft cabinets, the only other choice I have is antiqued which was very yellow. The white just looked better next to my sample, but I can see how you could pull it in with paint colors and other items in the room. I am more of a gray/blue/green girl myself.

deb52899 I am interested to know why you would do all marble if you could to it again. I was going to have different perimeter counters but I am being pulled to do all marble. Your kitchen is beautiful!

cookingbuff: it is Piatra Grey quartz from Caesarstone. I was originally going with a Super White quartzite but turned out to be more of a marble, so I threw the marble on the BS.

It is interesting that Killam calls out one of the very same BM whites I ended up picking .

My cabinets are BM Simply White with Carrera Marble backsplash. My countertops are Ceasarstone Raven.

Kam - If I could do-over, I would go marble all over just because I love it so much. That said, my blue pearl is pretty indestructible and when I need to knead fondant with red food coloring in it, I have no trouble doing that on the granite. I did forget and do it on my marble once. I wiped it up with Clorox Cleanup and had no issues at all (it is sealed). Yes, I have etches and scratches on my marble. I love it anyway - still love just touching it. It was a year old in May. Thanks for your compliment!

How has your Pietra Grigio held up ? Stains, scratches ? Is it sealed ? I love the honed slab I saw but my stoneyard called it slate ? so I am confused about the maintenance...What do you use to clean it ?
Many thanks !
