turn your lights downward. never understood why people wanted vanity lights that light up the ceiling! Personally, I'd get new lights and new mirrors. the current wood frame mirrors does not work w/the warmer wood cabinets. You say you don't want to paint the bathroom again but you want marble?? like carrara marble? absolutely not. no way it will work w/any of those colors, or the taj. the current tile you ahve is perfectly fine. I do have to agree w/Jan, the bathroom color is a little like vomit. I'm sorry, not trying to be rude, but it's not a good shade for looking into the mirror, applying makeup, etc. and personally, I don't think it compliments beautiful taj. you need a soft white. would be SOOOO much better. heck, do the same white that's on the trim, and paint the trim a darker tone that's in the taj. Or, since you have blue artwork, look at something like this. I gave you a simple black frame mirror and glass vanity lights. (personally I like gold w/taj) the other combo I really like is this one. I'd paint the water closet the black or wrought iron, bright white trim and a roman shade, and the pure white elsewhere. or maybe white w/the wrought iron trim work. bring in a gold/black light and gold mirror. hang some green plants near the window. green, black/white and wood look good together. Or, do this in the water closet. white wainscot, upper black, greenery, new window treatment see the window? this is a darker blue if you'd rather do this color. the white wainscot keeps it from looking too dark. paint the ceiling the dark color too since your ceilings are tall in there. very similar to your set up. Taj w/white cabinets and a white tile, mirrors, ORB harware, lights. (sconces are better for face lighting than overhead) Taj w/Calacatta Marble. This just isn't going to work w/your wood cabinets. I'd also lose those mini blinds in the WC. do you have to have them?

My husband and I have chosen Taj Mahal quartzite for our kitchen counters. I know it looks gorgeous with white but we would rather have some sort of color. I’m not totally against white cabinets with a different color on the island. I found these pics on another thread but there are no answers as to paint color. I like SW Snowbound as the trim color in our house (and would be cabinet color if we go that route). I’m hoping someone has an idea/suggestion of what grays are used in these pics. Any help and/or suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

That much $200+ a square stone can easily become overwhelming. Your designer needs to help you to visualize how dominant that can be. Waterfalls and full height splashes are not generally a good idea unless you have the best fabricator you can find locally. It is not inconceivable that you would be looking at a 40-50K stone bill for all of that, by the time you buy all of the extra slabs needed for vein matching everything perfectly. Which means the rest of the kitchen needs to be up to that level of a project. Considering that stone counters are generally 8-10% of a total kitchen project, you are talking a 450-500K level kitchen remodel.

Definitely the Taj Mahal! It has so much depth and beauty compared to the quartz. I wouldn't focus on price as much as the fabricator and installer. Get quality craftsmen to work on a quality stone, and if it's within your budget, don't worry about price. (Easy for me to say, right?) The worst situation is having a beautiful material ruined by poor workmanship just to save a few bucks. You see it all the time here on the DDs, horrible workmanship and very unhappy homeowners.
