Hi ginad..

I think that is a beautiful combo. Have you seen the kitchens in the FKB? Here's Gail 2's kitchen. I hope she doesn't mind...

Here is a link that might be useful: Bianco Romano

Thank you so much for that info. It seems like there are different versions of Bianco Romano, some have a little veining and lots of splotches and others have a lot more movement and less splotches.

I have white cabinets and also wanted something that was overall quiet. I ended up using a gray granite called Moon Night. You can see photos here:

I white cabinets and madre perola quartzite - I also wanted light and airy (and simple).

Here are a couple of pictures of my Bianco Romano with white cabinets. I also have it on my island and love the contrast with the black cupboards. I have had these countertops for about 5 years and LOVE them. Sealed them when originally installed-- they are bullet proof. They have never stained and never look dirty. Crumbs, etc. disappear. Bianco Romano probably is one of the more ho-hum granites, but I wanted countertops that didn't scream "look at me!" Someone, probably on GW, said Bianco Romano is like Thanksgiving. You can see the turkey, the gravy and the cranberries. I have always liked that comparison and think of it often look at my granite. (Sorry for large pix, they were uploaded ages ago and I don't know how to resize now.)

Maidielou,

(Ginad....sorry to hijack your thread but this will be important to you should you decide to go with a 'white' granite'.)

Do you know what sealer brand your fabricator used on your Bianco Romano?

I have my heart set on a 'white' granite but after doing much research, white granite comes with its attendant problems. But! it seems that a really, really good sealer applied properly can be your friend and keep you loving your granite. : )

Thanks!

we are almost finished with our kitchen and have bianco romano. I have posted some pics here

polar white cabinets, white subway tile, and antique white walls. I think it looks nice and clean. Our granite does look different then the above. I did see some slabs that had red like above vs what mine has, both are pretty. we just have a blue island and didn't really want red, white, and blue (nothing wrong with that, just not what we wanted)

Txpepper- the sealer was made by StoneTech and aptly named "Bulletproof". I applied it myself :)

jledhead - I love your kitchen. I have similar cabinets but the Bianco Romano I saw seemed to be lighter in color than the one you have. Mine has light grey veining and garnet spots. I also was thinking about white subway tiles for a clean look, but I fell in love with white convex basketweave tiles from Artistic Tile. They look really cool. Can you post some more pics? I'd love to see a close up of the granite and a picture of the entire kitchen, now that it done. It looks awesome!

Bianco romano is a lovely stone. Here are a couple

Thanks boxerpup! The last picture from All Granite and Marble is the place where I am getting my Bianco Romano. The slab I am getting looks more like the one in the first picture than the one in the last picture! The last picture is much nicer I think.

Maidielou,

Thanks for the info. I've read about this particular product and it is on my radar screen.

Just wondering...did your fabricator rec it or did it come about via your own research?

I selected my slabs on Wednesday. : )
