I don't have any beige and gray marble. I have Alabama white which is very white with subtle grey veining. It has a very slight cream vein too but you have to be staring at it to find it. My cabinets are slightly cream. The backsplash and utensil crock below are stark white. The cabinets look much darker now than they do in the daytime since I took the picture at night. They are almost exactly the same color as Dover White.

This is a more accurate picture of the cabinet color and marble color, taken a while ago during the day.

Here is a close up of the plate. It is the little circle in the middle. Very unobtrusive. We don't actually have a tool, but I am told one exists. They are by Omnia and I need to call them to see how you open it.

Hope this helps!

your house is so pretty, athensmom.

i found that our mortise thumb latches can be opened from the back if you stick a screwdriver in from the back through a keyhole.
