Renee: Caledonia on the perimeter and a black granite on the island, that sounds like an interesting combination and it should work. The black granite will provide a nice contrast to the oak cabinets while Caledonia would compliment the design nicely.

We're considering caledonia for an outdoor kitchen. Limestone blocks (tones of grey) for base, stainless grill components with galaxy black granite around the grill components (attached). What do you think?

Yolanda: Sounds like a natural and organic looking set-up, go for it!

Also considering black granite on island.

I jsut bought a new home with Caledonia in the kitchen. There are two large grey patches (about 5 inches by 1), very noticable, and a rust color patch, which doesn't show up anywhere else. Is this a defect I should accept, or should I complain? Seems like poor quality to me. Thanks.

I have white bath cabinets, neutral porcelon tile floors, would caladonai granite look good with cabinets.

Peggy: The colors in the Caledonia might be a little too neutral and boring for the already light set-up.

We are building a house and are considering Caledonia. The sample has alot of brown in it to compliment the chestnut color cabinets.Is brown uncommon in Caledonia.

Marie: The slabs change between deliveries, so it is not uncommon to have a slight color change over time in granite. All that matters is you picking out the slab(s) that you like.

We are building a house and looking at using Caledonia as the granite. Custom cabinets will be stained to match brazilian cherry hardwood in living room. Kitchen is a light gray ceramic. Black appliances. How do you think this will look? Not many pictures to look at.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:52PM, Dec 30 2009.
Melissa: It will look wonderful, good contrast.

I am building a new home. We will be having antique white cabinets with mocha glazing. The flooring will be american walnut. SS apliances. We were thinking about going with Caldonia, it seems "safe" but boring any other suggestions.

angelo: Bianco Romano or Bianco Antico perhaps if you want to stay light, it has more movement.

getting a home built and wondering if the caledonia countertops will look good with cherry cabinets. its gonna have stainless steel appliances, with tile backsplash and butterscotch hardwoods.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 01:59PM, Aug 21 2009.
Matt: They will look fine, but maybe something with the same pattern but a little more browns/burgundy speckling to pick up the cabinets...take a look at Santa Cecilia.

Builder already got Cherry Oak cabinets and Caledonia counter tops. What do you think I should pick for the floor color that will compliment this arrangement? I'm not looking for dark colors. Thank you.
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 04:47PM, Jun 24 2008.
rafa: I would probably try to bring in a little bit more color into the room. Are you using tiles or hardwood flooring?
Pat - GUESTat 09:50AM, Apr 5 2008.
Thank for your input. What can I do to make it not so plain and boring?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 10:49AM, Apr 5 2008.
Pat: Add some color to the kitchen. I'm sure you can find stones that have a considerable amount of white, but are a but warmer in tone. Take a look at Rain Drops as a still white, but not so plain color.

I have a white cabinet and a camel color bamboo floor, white appliances. What do you think of caledonia as my choice?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 06:09PM, Apr 4 2008.
Pat: That's going to make for one really white kitchen. A bit plain don't you think?
Karen - GUESTat 10:21AM, Jan 19 2008.
Do you have new caledonia?
All Granite and Marble - MODERATORat 09:47AM, Jan 22 2008.
Karen: Is the stone different from this one? Various fabricators often change the names.
