I can choose any Cambria Quartz so other Cambria suggestions are great too.

I have also ordered white cabinets if that was not clear.

To be more like your inspiration picture the whitest quartz would be my choice.

Make sure that the white cabinets look right with the light quartz. There are so many colors of white--some have cream undertones. Be careful.

Thanks! My choice was firmly the Torquay, but as I was finishing up my cabinet/Quartz order, a grey color was suggested to me by the cabinet designer. I said no, but I started second guessing myself!

So, the cabinet color I chose was matched to the Torquay. Thanks for reassuring me!!

I said no thanks at the time (a couple of days ago), but I've thought about it a lot since. I'm sure she'd be surprised how much thought I've put into her off-hand comment!!

I think of the Torquay as a neutral and think there is no problem with it and the Rox Grigio flooring, but that is what I started questioning since she had not seen my floor choice before. Or that she thought the grey counter would look better with that floor. That is exactly what's been running through my mind.

Anyway, thanks again. Always helps to hear from others.

I think you should go for the Torquay, as long as you have seen the actual sample, and not just a photo. It always helps to hold all of your materials together under the same light, preferably natural day lighting! Hope that helps!

Thanks, MWM. Yes, we had all of the samples together. I am happy w/my choices!

I do listen carefully to what she says because she is a trained designer but now I believe she was just offering an alternative. She is coming by my house this week so I suppose I will just ask her.

Avoid going with too much grey. Getting very tired of it already, so many using it. You must be the happy one with the choice even though you hired a designer.

Torquay or plain white

Sandradclark, she has designer credentials and has been advising me, but she works at the cabinetry and countertop store.

I would go with the torquay, especially if you chose the cabinet white to match it. The other ones being a firm contrast will make the space a little more contemporary than your inspiration. Your attention is going to go to the countertop planes instead of the bigger picture. They do go with the scheme, dont get me wrong, but I dont think it will give you the overall look you are trying to achieve.

I know what you are saying about grey, but it is hard to avoid. It's everywhere. Note my blue tiles though. This is my house to grow old in and blue has always been my favorite color. I have never added or bought anything that was not neutral in color before. Obviously, I'm talking about permanent or semi-permanent stuff. So, this is actually pretty exciting for me! Blue tile!!

You will be very happy with the Torquay. Plus it is most like your inspiration picture. Good choices and good luck.

Thanks!!

I think pure white. I'm afraid the pattern of the Torquay may clash with the flooring. Too busy perhaps. Keep it clean with pure white.

I like the Torquay. It looks like marble and will go great with your floor. I agree with the above post--don't use too much gray.

Thanks everyone. I have considered other floor tiles with less motion. These are my floor samples. I like them all so more opinions on them would be great.


1) The first two are Dream Perla in different lights.
2) The next two are Broadmoor Platinum
3) The last two are the Rox Grigio

I can't see the number 3 Rox Grigio pics so I'll add them again:

Actually, the Dream Perla first one was shot by me in the store and the other from on-line. It is more like the first lighter pic.

The lone tile in the pic is the exact tile from the inspiration photo. http://houzz.com/photos/20833263

Oh never mind! I like the Rox Grigio best so I will stick with it. I am being too sensitive although "clash" is a strong word.

Together.

I'd do a solid color tile for the floors not one with any movement. I'm afraid it will fight with your counters.

I would use the Torquey for a nice soft look

I love the Torquay, but also have a look at the new colors that Cambria has coming out! Check out Ella and Britannica, there is gorgeous happening there!

It's a side-ways photo, but this is our new office top in Britannica - a truly magnificent choice!

Very nice!! I've already ordered Torquay though. Thanks!
