We are getting a lot of threads that start out with a statement like yours lately. You are not asking a question at all, just making a statement, and not giving any context (ie: no pictures, no description of whether your project is a remodel, new construction, or just a refresh with no changing of fixtures. Then there are no clues to what styles you like or what you want from the community you are writing to. If I were being literal, I would answer this post by saying: "Okay, go to a few tile stores and stoneyards." But that can't be the response you want. So what do you want?

Thanks for the replies! That's funny that someone else had asked the same question. I wonder if what I saw was a single case where someone had removed it and was then selling it.... Unfortunately I don't like the quartz that they offer. I'm not adverse to the marble option but I hear it will be very difficult to keep nice. Thanks for the link above - I will poke around!

I worry that b/c of everything else going on between the two rooms it will be busy. They're not overly big expanses, really, especially being split as they are between the two spaces...and I really do like it. Part of it, I think, is b/c I've always disliked swirly counters, so I'm confused why I like this, so then I second guess myself. At some point the cabinets will all be the same color..but we'll have the brown of the floor, the brown of the trim around the inside of the doorways/windows, white trim around doorways/windows/floor, light blue cabinets, plus my husband wants to build a very large table for the dining area, and he wants to build it, I believe, out of like butcher block and cedar. I can't remember exactly, but it seems like..over the top. I think I need to find out exactly what he plans to do w/the table. I worry the whole thing altogether will be a LOT and I'll need to tone things down w/a lot of white to balance it out. Not sure if that makes sense. What I dislike about the laminate is the exact opposite thing everyone warned me about w/the white--I detest putting something on the counter and hearing the crunch of crumbs. Or putting my hand on it and feeling crumbs. Seeing spills. The things that "blend in" so I set things down and didn't see the water or whatever and now my papers are wet. I'd thought maybe if it were white there would be no excuses. (tho in reality it's probably wishful thinking) The laminate we got from a countertop place that I believe only does laminate, We installed it, and it was pretty inexpensive. I'm not sure what it costs elsewhere, but 11' was less than $300, so I don't think that was too bad. If I did something different, I wouldn't feel horrible about replacing it, but I wouldn't do it right away.

I'd blend the profile in and polish it out. Not a DIY job.
