You may have already made your decision but I just found this thread. I feel like you are doing my homework for me! My cabinets and granite countertops are so similar and I've been searching for seven months for the right tile/stone. I love your choices and just have to say that when I saw the French Crema my first reaction was Wow! Second to that the Heartland. I am going out tile shopping again today and will look for some of the choices you've shown here. This is the most difficult project I've ever undertaken!

Placemats are going to be a fall theme for a baby shower. I'm making center pieces too. This is my 3rd shower this year and every one has loved the placemats I make for their place setting and they get to take them home. Well, the young (20 somethings) ladies are all ways trying to gather 4 to 6 of them (I all ways make extra). This time I decided to make round ones that could be used at the center of a table with maybe a fall center piece. That way more people would have uses for them. In fact, I have a round table and will probably use one for myself. Wish I would have bought more stuff to make myself a centerpiece! I did go on line and saw placemats from 14" to 17". I think I like the 16". Thanks for the input. Kathy G in MI
