We are remodeling our kitchen and I am having so much trouble picking things out. The cabinets and floor have already been purchased so those are locked in and we plan to purchase stainless appliances. We’re doing a white apron sink, sage green bottom cabinets and island and linen white upper cabinets. Picture of the cabinet colors and floor below.

Any countertop recommendations? We are considering Taj Mahal quartzite but I’d like to look at a less expensive quartz as well. I can’t do wood counters. I am leaning toward white elongated subway tiles in a herringbone pattern for the backsplash but that will ultimately depend on the countertops we go with.

Cabinet/drawer pulls and faucet- should these be the same finish? Should they match the appliances? I don’t really want silver pulls and faucet, I think I prefer antique bronze or black for the cabinet pulls but also interested in recommendations or pictures if anyone has a reference. I have looked at a lot of inspiration photos but most with my cabinet colors have wood countertops which obviously looks a lot different.

Lighting - we will need something for above our 9x4 ft island. How large should it be and what finish?

Appliances - any you love or we should stay away from?

I appreciate if you read this far and have any advice to offer, pictures of something similar, etc. Thank you!
