Julie: That's a great idea, many people go simple around the perimeter and fancy on the island. Although I think the demibullnose is fancy in itself, maybe something simpled like the eased or quarter round.

Great- we've chosen indian mahogany. What are your thoughts on demibullnose edge for all of countertops except for island which we would do the more expensive og edge? Do people ever combine their edges like that? Also, what color hues for tile backsplash? Thank you for all your comments,you're very helpful and I will recommend you to others.

Thanks for your input on my honey maple cabinets and matching hardwood floor. We've narrowed ourselves down to indian mahogany (like the movement, just not sure if color is too pink) or cafe imperial (chocolate brown color is probably safer but no movement). Would you recommend one over the other? Thank you so much!

Julie: You want there to be at least some contrast, the countertop should not blend in with the cabinets, rather compliment it. The mahogany would look nice. If you like dark greens take a look at the Butterfly family of stones too.

Have honey maple cabinets and matching hardwood floor. What color granites would look best? What colors should I stay away from. I was looking at Indian Mahogany granite (black with mahogany swirls). would that work with brown hued tiles on backsplash?

I have cherry (gunnite) cabinets to go with madura gold countertops.The walls are gray with white trim. I have stainless steel appliances so will the madura gold work. Any ideas about the flooring (want hardwood)

Nancy Murray: Try Noce Travertine tile. For wall color, you can use some of the colors within the stone. If you look really close, you'll see some really nice brown and copper tones.

I have chosen Madura gold, the darker tone and am having a difficult time finding tile to compliment. Also a wall color. Any suggestions? My cabinets are a medium cherry with an oak floor. Black appliances

Robyn: In that case, why not go with something more gold than orange/red? Take a look at these stones: Amidala Gold, Barbarella, Golden Desert. Let me know what you think.

I just don't want anything to clash. I like the movement of the bordeaux, but I guess I don't want it to scream red. My dilemma is that the granites with caramel colors seem to clash. I would like a neutral with movement that looks rich. I think dark granite always looks rich, but I believe it will make the kitchen dark and small.

I have picked chocolate cherry cabinets by Merrillat Masterpiece. I have window treatments that are coral and beige and white that I am keeping along with a foxy (orange/red) wall. I havent picked the backsplash but expect it to be neutral beige. The floor will be a natural cherry. What granite do you suggest? I like juperana bordeaux, but the slabs in person seem red. I like flowing rather than speckled granite and fear the ones with the amber orange vein.

We are picking out granite countertops to go with honey-colored oak cabinets. I like a "warm" look. We have looked at Madura Gold, Copper Canyon, Juparana Classico, and Giallo Ornamental. We like dark, but don't want the upkeep. Is there a warm brown--not too dark--that would contrast well?

Michelle: Seems like I was way off target with my suggestions! You like the really fine speckled patterns. Well, to answer your question, Golden leaf would be my choice. It's a very warm looking color.

Name: Michelle

Date: 2009-02-27 15:26:44

Thank you for the quick reply. I was thinking Tropical Brown, Golden Leaf, or Copper Silk. Of the 3, which do you think would look best with the Chocolate Cherry color cabinets? This is starting to make my brain hurt. : (

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2009-02-27 14:58:52

Michelle: Easy way out to get that warm look is to use a gold stone. They all look great with cherry. But since you want a darker stone, take a look at Ibere Crema Bordeaux light (ID 215), pompei (ID 625) or tan brown if you want something more generic. The first two are a bit "loud" though.

I am redoing my kitchen & having a very hard time picking out granite. I would like a warm enveloping, cozy kitchen. So far I have picked Kraftmaid Cognac on cherry & SS appliances. Very large kitchen with lots of light. Possibly going with a neutral tile floor & would like a tumbled marble backsplash. Any suggestions on granite color would be appreciated. Leaning towards something darker. Thank you, Michelle

Date: 2009-02-05 13:10:46

Rick: They both match equally well. The question is whether you want a smooth, flowing pattern, or a more contemporary speckled look. I believe Giallo Veneziano might look slightly more vivid next to the backsplash, but the deciding factor should be the amount of contrast against the cabinets. Get samples of both stones and put them against the cabinets. The one that "pops" more will make more of a statement in the kitchen.

Name: Rick

Date: 2009-02-05 12:34:48

Thank you. Now, if you can help me narrow it down to one: Madura gold or Giallo Veneziano, would be a great help. Which one will give more flexibility when color of paint the breakfast area which is essentially an extension to the Kithchen. The floor is ceramic tile, somewhat on a cream base with beige speckles, and so is the backplash with a more uniform very light beige.

I am looking into G. Veneziano, or madura gold for Armstrong cabinets in Maple wood- Sedona Cafe brown glaze. Island is about 32*90", and the kitchen has 2 sides with counters. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am redoing my kitchen with a light maple with a glaze on the wall cabinets and a dark maple island. What color granite would you suggest? I like giallo venziano to contrast the island. Also, what color should the floor be? They are hardwood. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you so much for your helpful response. I did send another question 7/21 requesting a suggestion of red-amber tone granite instead of gold tones to go w/stain. applia. and maple cabs and coord. w/Red onyx. I appreciate you time. Bridgette

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-07-20 16:13:18

I'm doing a stone carpet in my enty foyer. Multi Red Onyx 12 x 12 tile is the frame and we're considering Madura Gold granite as the filler. Can you suggest other gold tone granites that may blend better? We would do our counter tops in the same granite. Thank you for any assistance you may provide. Sincerely, Bridgette

Deanna: Madura Gold Light is slightly lighter, brigter than regular Madura Gold.

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Date: 2007-07-12 10:38:29

Lynn: I would Definately go with something light. Giallo Ornamental may be good choice if you like granites with uniform pattern. Burgundy spots will complement your cabinets and white, creamy background lighten up the space.

Will the sapphire blue work too or will it be too dark?

All Granite and Marble - Moderator

Stainless steel is rather neutral so golden granites will work.

Thanks. Right now we are thinking of sapphire blue granite. Would the golds work with stainless steel appliances?

Yea, that will work. Any of the golds will do.
