about to redo my kitchen and wondering what you would use for a "timeless" (or as close as possible) classic white kitchen with stainless steel appliances?
we are thinking of silestone/quartz countertop that is close to carrera marble, white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances and sink, white subway tile backsplash. our oak floor was refinished and stained with a dark wood/espresso stain. TIA! |

This is exactly what I would do.
This is what we have minus the counters. We didn't want to spend on ripping out the current counters and back splash so what was there stands. What I do like is that the backsplash behind the range and counters on either side of it are stainless steel. I can put absolutely anythings down on that with no concerns at all. It is over 50 years old and still looks great. |

| I'd do exactly this but use a light shade of gray glass subway tile instead of white. You need to tie in the countertops and break up the white some. |

Not OP - but thinking the exact same thing, really attracted to the "traditional" look, but willing to throw in some modern flair/elements. Thinking about a mix of butcher block and concrete counters.
Worried though, that this look will seem dated in a few years, almost like i'm on the back-end of the look and people will want something else in a few years. This could be our "Forever home" but we may find ourselves in a position where we must sell in 5 years (School situation is fluid.) Thoughts on whether this style is on the way out? Am I going to wish I'd done something a little more cutting-edge, like blue cabinets? |

| That's what we did, only we used marble instead of quartz. I love it and will probably do the same thing over again (we're looking to move soon). |

I love a white kitchen, and a lot of others do too.
you could always do paint in a vibrant color to break up the white. the dark floor should provide nice contrast, too. |
