My cabinets are the same color as bottom picture on this page. I need help selecting granite. I would like something on the lighter side to off set my cabinets. I like some movement to the granite but do not want it to look too busy. I hope you can help!
Hi, Could you attached me the pictures of your countertop ? Then I will try to match it. However if you find Crema Astoria similar to yours, please visit one of our locations: http://www.marble.com/location... in order to compare the stone with your countertop. You can also take the sample home and then will be easier to decide if they are in the same colors.
I'm trying to find a reasonable match to a granite countertop of "Artic Moon" (could be Arctic Moon ) to use for an island in the same kitchen. I know granite colors are often given different names, and while I can't find Artic Moon, your Crema Astoria looks close online. Could the two be the same color?
Hello Jodi. Please accept my apologies for the late response. We have plenty of Astoria in-stock at our Stroudsburg, PA facility!
Can you tell me if you still carry Astoria in the Stroudsburg location?
Hello Karen. Sorry for the late response. I also agree that a subtle and warm granite would be most appropriate for your situation so it does not clash with the beautiful yet a little busy tiles that you have. I recommend the Astoria or Sunset Ivory. Also, if you want some greens, check out Golden Rock, although it has plenty of veins as well.
I like crema bordeaux for the swirls. I had picked out a granite first. I never got the name of the granite but it had grey, black and burgundy
in
it with some swirling probably a shavarski ?? of some name. Then I
picked a floor tile that looked good with cherry cabinets and the sample
of granite or so I thought. The
italian porcelain tile in rosso has a lot a variation in it that I did not expect. The floor is in. Now that granite looks too dramatic and seems to want to vie for attention with
the floor. Cannot get a picture that shows the whole kitchen. The
backsplash will be the same tile in smaller size as the floor. The
island and the L shape area between the refrigerator and wall oven will
be in the same granite. Mind you this kitchen has a cathedral ceiling in
tongue and groove cedar that is the same shade as the cherry cabinets
and a large skylight. So I do not want to create a black/brown cave. The
floor has some grey, some beige and some grey/green tiles as well as
the predominant rosso tiles. Many have reddish vein lines and some
black, tan specks. Will get a new refrigerator and stove top at some
point but will stick with black appliances as I have now. A family room and the
kitchen open onto each other and the flooring goes into the family
room. The family room has a simple black fireplace with grey/black
slate tiles around the black metal opening. The floor looks great with
the cherry cabinets. But I think Crema Bordeaux is too dramatic. Hubby
would like some green as a complement to the reddish tiles but I cannot see a
green that I think would work and most of what I see now as a
possibility is tame like crema astoria, sunset ivory, or a vyara gold
that it pretty muted but has some streaks that look like the rosso. I
probably need to be pushed to think outside my normal comfort of beige. On the crema astoria I like the reddish swirls of #1300. Any ideas
Hi Zee. We do not sell granite tiles. We are a countertop fabricator and installer.
Are you offering tiles made from granite astoria?
I need about 40 sqft to built my backsplash. Preffered size: 12"x12"x3/8", but if you have larger such as 12"x24" or 18"x18"x3/8' or 1/2" thick it is OK too?
