Please Help W/ Granite Choice!?
Comments (22)Update: Well, I took your advice, and kept looking. I think I wore DH out, because he finally just said I could go and he'd be ok w/ whatever I selected. Freedom...yet a big responsibility so I need to get it "right"! So, the other day, I decided to dedicate a whole day to visiting other granite yards within an hour's drive from here. I walked into the first place, and saw a slab I'd never seen before. It is so different from the Giallo Ornamentals and Delicatus slabs I'd been "focusing" on, but I think it is THE one! It isn't quite as blue as it looks in the picture, but it definitely compliments the blue fabric on the dining room chair seats. (When I saw it, I realized that having gray/blue in the stone could work really well because we are opening up the kitchen to the dining room and our dining room.) It also has some taupe/neutral shades that work with the plank tile floor. What do you think?!...See MoreNovice needs help with Granite Choice!!
Comments (2)Are you changing your flooring? What color/material is your flooring? What color are your walls going to be. Do you like a lot of movement in granite or just "quiet" granite? A lot of different granites go with different flooring, wall color, personal preference (e.g., love the color rust and hate blue or green, etc.) Would love to help and can think of a hundred different granites that would go with the cabs you chose, however, need just a bit more info to narrow them down....See MoreHelp With Granite Choice
Comments (33)I think either will work well. Early on you said the gold caught your eye. I too personally prefer more gold and if those sample photos are really true to life, that TB gold sample just seems more lively and less muted to me. We can all offer opinions, but at the end of the day, you're the one who is going to be staring at it for hours on end. When I saw my TB slabs, I stopped looking. They stopped me in my tracks. I'm not saying a person needs a life altering moment to pick a stab of granite, but maybe neither of these is "the one"....See MoreHelp with Granite Choice!!
Comments (8)I know! It is tough. Yes, I plan on going to the granite source that they use to check out how their slabs have been coming in, but unfortunately it is June, and this likely won't arrive until at least October. I'm thinking that if I'm really nice I might be able to fanagle some sort of deal. I'm actually leaning towards the Delicatus, based on the countertops I've seen them install in other homes. It has some cream, more grey, and some dark black. I'm thinking it will help balance out the darker wood floors. I'll probably go with someone a little more yellow/red if I decide to change the floors to something with more red in it. I wish these cabinets were more of a grey-white, that would make it a whole lot easier! Thanks for that wesbite!...See MoreJayMarc Homes
