Help choose bathroom Quartz!

7 years ago
Those who have been following my saga know that we had our kitchen cabinets painted SW Snowbound but...the painters went in our master bathroom (unauthorized)when we weren’t there and painted our cherry cabinets SW Snowbound!! The painters have agreed to either paint them another color or give us new countertops. We’ve decided to get new countertops bc we aren’t a fan of the granite that came with the house anyway and now that the cabinets are white that brown is glaring.
Any suggestions on a quartz that would look good with the Snowbound and has a marble look to it? We love our kitchen Cambria Brittanica but we wanted something different in the bathroom. We will at some point, once we recover from the cost of the kitchen, be renovating the entire bathroom (floors, shower, tub, paint) so I need something that will go with any tile.
I like marble looking tile and since they are paying it can be any brand!

    Are you planning to keep the vanity when you remodel the bathroom?

    As for quartz, it really depends on what you like. The Britannica is very nice, but I don't know if you would get the full effect on a smaller scale like the vanity.
    We have Torrquay in the basement for the bar..it's a large area, but since there isn't much pattern, it would go well on small areas as well. It does have some tan/cream in it, so it's warmer in color. If you want to go towards a colder color such as gray, then you could pick another one such as the Swanbridge or Newport

    Here are the pictures from the listing that a professional took bc the paint is really dark in real life. You can also see the naked mosaic in the shower that will be coming out once we renovate. We are keeping the vanities.
    Here’s the faucet I like.

    your current countertops are Marble

    Consider doing clarino from LG It has a soft marble veining in the warmer tones.

    What you have now is marble - dark emperador.

    I had no idea they were marble!!! When they remove them do you think someone would want the countertops, sinks, and faucets? I know the former owners spent $5K on the naked lady mosaic but the shower needs new tile but I don’t think they could save her during renovation.

    I'm sure someone will use that top and sink. You can call the people from Habitat for Humanity to come and pick them up

    It is unfortunate that they painted the cabinet. It looked really nice before.

    If you want to keep the mosaic, you should go with a warmer color for the tile and the top. The gray one is beautiful, but it wouldn't work if you go with a warmer color for tile. If the mosaic has grays (it seems like that in the photo), then you could go with a white or grayish color for the tile and the top you like

    Totally agree with Printesa. The paint ruined the look. The marble is beautiful. Such a shame.

    I didn’t want to save the mosaic for me but if someone else wanted it. If they have to cut through the wallboard behind the shower tiles maybe they could remove it in one piece and I could put it outside on the wall.

    Yes we were shocked that they even entered the master bedroom! We were quite upset and like I said the company owner was mortified too. I think it will look better once I soften the look with a renovation. Right now it’s hard for us to even open the drawers without the hardware they took off!

    You could ask the contractor who'll renovate the shower if they can remove the mosaic intact.

    As for the top, if you like the gray top, which is beautiful, do that. It's a bit difficult to see how good the cabinets look now..they seemed to look better before, but painted, they seem to look a bit dated...sorry about the lack of better words..Not every style of cabinet looks good painted.

    If you want less movement, try Frosty Carrina. London Gray quartz by Caesarstone is another subtle variety but more on the gray side. For marble look with more veining, check White Attica or Statuario Maximus from Caesarstone.
