Help me pick a granite! Natural maple cabinets/dark floors
Comments (14)I hope someone sees this and lends some advice! We weren't expecting to have to stay in our house as we listed it but now we are staying. Long story:( So, the countertops MUST GO! I need help with an inexpensive but good looking solution. We are likely taking out the 6" backsplash behind the cooktop and the riser so that the countertop can come out just a tad but not so many cuts. Maybe make it another seating area. I've received quotes on Giallano Ornamental granite @$28-30/sqft which comes out to a LOT! lol! Looking at quartz but omg. I'm overwhelmed to say the least. Black appliances stay; sink needs replacing but thinking staying with stainless but undermount. Thanks for any advice! The cabinets are maple, floors are Acacia EVP by Lumber Liquidators. Painting cabinets could happen but our cabinet guy said he'd cry since they're maple. HELP! and Thanks!...See MoreHelp me pick a granite! Natural maple cabinets/dark floors

Comments (36)Hi, everybody: It finally happened. The kitchen is done and I believe the colors and contrast match perfectly. Like most everyone else, we'll live with it for a while before deciding what do to with the backsplash. Again, thanks everyone for helping us deciding the contrast that was best for us. Joe Ps.

Comments (1)Any of those sounds like ur in the ballpark. Since sounds like yer getting plenty of natural lighting, if u want to go a little darker would be fine. Don't overlook how the whole place look at night under artificial lighting. I had a vanity that had a pleasant grey granite look with daylight but gave me pinkish hue under incandescent, just had to return it. There will be no pink in my BR! ^)...See MoreAnglophilia
