I regret not thinking about an edge more when I was having countertops installed. I just picked a simple edge but now I wish I was doing what you are doing and really thinking about it. There are some wonderful choices that work with your.... Rustic, Italian country, quality Don't be afraid to go with a more exotic or interesting edge than the plain bullnose or 1/2 bullnose. In my mind, I see Rustic and Italian mean warmth texture and understated elegance. Here are some ideas... ~boxer. This is what I wish I had chosen.

Unfortunately, they can't template without the sink, so I need to choose it before we finalize granite. In addition, the sink can take several weeks if it's not in stock, so I don't want to wait and then have cabinets and no counters for 3-4 weeks. They told me the second one was called Sea Pearl, but when I google images of that, I am sure that is not correct. It's going to be a transitional kitchen. We purchased white shaker cabinets (Kemper - White - arriving tomorrow!) and Provincial floors. I've been toyed with Fireclay tile in the Paseo shape for the backsplash, but I really don't think that will work so well with the second granite. Other than a wood dining room table and an oak sideboard, everything else will be new. The fire place surround is traverine, but I think it's far and neutral enough to be irrelevant. Here's the empty space. The floors now match the section to the right side of the picture. Here's the plan, but it's probably too small to be useful. From the inspiration pictures, you can see that the first slab is the clear choice. I think my trouble is that I don't know what I would do with the second slab. I don't see it in my mind's eye. I don't know how I would finish it.

Thanks, berardmr. The light on the left is my favorite, and one of my splurges for the kitchen (it will hang from a vaulted ceiling over the eating area). It is the LZF Link Suspension light and it comes in a few sizes and colors. The glass pendant is WAC lighting Clarity mini pendant. The middle row of tiles is from Porcelanosa. The bottom right is New Ravenna Oasis (starts at something like $200+/sq ft!). I forget what the one on the left is - I think it's made of same weird material like gypsum. If I could afford it, I'd get Heath dimensional tiles, but they're $77/sq ft...

Pick out colors or whites like you want. Paint on poster board, or buy the peel and stick color patches and put on poster board. Leave a white border all the way around the poster board, so it doesnt clash with the color you have now. Since you want the whole house the same color, then pick a color that goes in your kitchen with your cabinets etc first. Then try it in the rest of the house. The color in there now, does not go with your cabinets. It has way too much yellow in it. I would look for colors that have no yellow hues.
