Thanks for the kind words. Cooking in it and just hanging out in it is a joy. I hardly recognize it as the same space. friedajune, thanks, I'd love to take all the credit, but I did work with a KD. I get credit for making the decisions, and sometimes making suggestions, like the walnut island with blue base from the colors in the Fantasy Brown. Anyway, we worked well together.

Thank you very much for the advice. I like Fantasy Brown a lot. I am not sure if it would work in my counter with the seam at the corner. It seems like pieces of Oyster White or Lennon are easier to join together discretely. Also, with the small appliances on the counter - microwave, toaster, coffee maker and kettle - I am not sure how much granite flow I will be able to see at a time. Is Oyster White look too simple in your opinion? What backsplash do you suggest to make it more visually interesting? What color of the floor tile is the best? My kitchen opens to the hallway/living room with red oak floor. I prefer not to have hardwood in the kitchen.

Go to the better tile showrooms in your area and see what you like. Is the FB already installed? take photos and bring along; it will help to better determine which colorways appeal to you.

I would suggest a white-colored wall like Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore. To avoid browns, I would suggest something like Lifeproof's Capitola Silver vinyl plank flooring. It's a bit difficult to advise you on shower walls without really seeing it in the bathroom, but I think that although simple, a simple white subway tile would look good too. It's not a bathroom photo, but this photo has a similar color scheme: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sxsrf=ALeKk026zjXFxQW0aZfeUFY_gPdzmgznaQ:1596727362594&q=phenix+determined+carpet&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&tbs=simg:CAESuAIJMYup_1jak1CEarAILELCMpwgaYgpgCAMSKNAFgQHOBeEChRKmHZkS4gKDEs8F5iflJ_1o16iftNd4p6yfsNecnxyEaMKb4UugbIjkE7QsbnZE60dnL4Dhuw5j2CJVr4uIqa1H1PZJVd3Z-vO6FKhnhF5621yAEDAsQjq7-CBoKCggIARIEyEby6gwLEJ3twQkapAEKFwoFZmxvb3LapYj2AwoKCC9tLzBsN184CiEKDXdvb2QgZmxvb3JpbmfapYj2AwwKCi9tLzAyN3hobTAKJAoRbGFtaW5hdGUgZmxvb3JpbmfapYj2AwsKCS9tLzA0eHZzMAogCgxzdHVkaW8gY291Y2japYj2AwwKCi9tLzAyNnFibjUKHgoLbGl2aW5nIHJvb23apYj2AwsKCS9tLzAzZjZ0cQw&fir=ZMLgHbxeArw7PM%252CbI39ePEQZRoE_M%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kTZKK0J9pKwqA1ormePM8FpT3HK-A&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwicjID68IbrAhVYrZ4KHcU0DAsQ9QEwBnoECAgQDA&biw=1920&bih=969#imgrc=ZMLgHbxeArw7PM
