Comments (17)Thank you all for your suggestions. Sorry for the late reply, but I've been pouring over stone sites, design sites and tending to the troublesome floor staining (another story). Anyway, I've decided to open up my thinking on the use of granite, and agree with those of you who've posted on the need to go with a light surface. So after having visited the warehouses of almost all the main distributors in my area and spent countless more sleepless nights searching and hyperlinking through Houzz, I've come up with these few options: 1) Fantasy Brown (with minimal peachy brown more grey and white flows) on island, some kind of plain white on perimeter, and white marble (see my large tiles) or brown/greyish mosaic on BS, 2) Taj Mahal or similar off-white/beigy quartzite (love these stones) on the island and ?? on perimeter (maybe forced to use same as I cannot come up with coordinating option), and ?? on BS, 3) Golden Crystal on island (like the mix of warm and grey) and ?? on perimeter and maybe greyish mini subways on BS.. Here is a pic of my dusty partially installed cabs: Here is Fantasy Brown option (found others with more beigy brown but prefer this slab with more white, grey and darker brown): Two of the Taj Mahals: The Golden Crystal (colors a bit more rich than shown in pic): I think I have at least solved the boring counter dilemma! Which of these options do you like best for my kitchen counters and why? Thank you!!

Comments (3)Melinla, That sounds wonderful. Here are some images of what others did with white cabinets and tile floor. Try to ignore the counters because I am not sure the exact stone for the counters. You may have to contact these sites to get the exact kind or type of floor. Meanwhile you can always look at them for ideas and discover what you like or don't. ~boxer Google image white kitchens slate floor Sunset Kitchens Cotede Texas MDS Illinois Hepburn Weddington Designs Niagara Voice Kitchen Small Bones Kitchen Light Restyled Homes Exotic Excess...See MoreGranite to go with multicolor slate floor & cherry cabs?

Comments (16)als6w, How exciting. I think both looks are beautiful. But if I were doing my own kitchen I might go with a lighter counter. I like light creams in the kitchen. Although dark does evoke a feeling of elegance for me. Here are some inspiration pics that I have hung on to despite not going with cherry. Maybe they can help. Cherry is lovely. ~boxerpups...See Moreccoombs1
