Delicatus

COMMENTS:

• Marble.com - Derek 06:40PM, Feb 4 2012 Absolutely. Delicatus is a very appropriate choice with it's neutral tones and an effective contrast. Also you can take a look at White Spring and Bianco Antico. Good luck!
• Debbie Bator 03:16PM, Feb 1 2012 I have sage green cabinets will delicatius be a good choice for counter tops
• Marble.com - Derek 09:50PM, Jan 24 2012 The New Venetian Gold is a timeless and classic choice, it's a safe and warm option that you cannot go wrong with when you have natural oak cabinets. Same goes for Giallo Napoleone.
• t4n 12:28AM, Jan 22 2012 Will the New Venetian Gold be a better choice for this combination? The kitchen flows into the great room with a knee wall in between them. We will be replacing the top of the knee wall with this granite. The New Venetian Gold has cognac colored flecks in them. The furniture in the great room is made of cognac leather.
• Marble.com - Derek 04:33PM, Jan 21 2012 Sounds like an appropriate choice, but perhaps it would be nice it include some golden veining and highlights in the granite to compliment the tones in the cabinetry. In addition to the excellent Delicatus, you may want to look at choices such as New Colonial God, Colonial Cream, and Cielo De Oro. Just some food for thought!
• t4n 12:18AM, Jan 21 2012 Hello - I currently have natural oak cabinets, oak hardwood floor and stainless appliances. 
  I am considering delicatus for the countetops with off-white tumbled travertine backsplashes. What do you think?
• Marble.com - Derek 02:57PM, Jan 4 2012 The Delicatus Brown is a rich granite with depth and movement that will make it the centerpiece of your design. You can surely add more of the stone throughout the home as granite is always timeless, classic, and an excellent investment. For the wall color, shades such as Benjamin Moore Line "Linen White" or "Honeyed Almond" could be appropriate. Good luck!
• Marble.com - Kinga 03:27PM, Jan 3 2012 I don’t think that would be too much granite. People do it all the time! For wall color, I would suggest something light and warm like Benjamin Moore’s Cream Silk and Old World Romance. Let me know what you think!
• Lynn Evans 11:23PM, Dec 31 2011 Hi I have oak cabinets and just purchased delicatus brown granite for my counters. The backsplash is done in a mottled cream yellow color and the floors are off white tile.  The kitchen is large and very bright natural light.  Could you suggest a color for the wall.  I also have a dining room off of the kitchen and was thinking of purchasing a delicatus top for a cabinet. Would that be to much of the same granite.
• Marble.com - Kinga 03:42PM, Nov 29 2011 I feel the look you are trying to achieve is beautiful, timeless and very popular. I don’t think you need to go dark on any of the cabinets because it might take away from your stunning granite. For other options, check out Bianco Romano and Ambrosia White. Good luck!
• Marble.com - Derek 08:03PM, Nov 23 2011 The newest delivery of our Delicatus granite (ID: 1527) on display above has a gorgeous reddish tint and slight undertones that adds elegance to the design. For a white kitchen style, the Delicatus is perfect for stark white cabinetry. Another option could possibly be Bianco Antico. Good luck!
• Sshartlage 12:12PM, Nov 22 2011 Love the delicatus white granite.  Wanted to lighten my kitchen by painting existing cabinets white or off white with a glaze.  Will there be enough contrast?  I have hardwood floors and stainless/black appliances.  Another option painting the bottom cabinets a dark color and upper cabinets a light color.  I having been trying to decide on granite color for weeks now.  Thanks for all your help.......
• Marble.com - Kinga 05:27PM, Oct 18 2011 I’m definitely leaning towards the matte finish for your space. Derek’s backsplash suggestion is marvelous! Another great suggestion is a glass tile combined with honed Emparador Light or Dark Marble in a subway style- see attached. Let me know what you think!
• Marble.com - Derek 05:15PM, Oct 18 2011 I agree that matte finish is more appropriate in your design. The Bianco Antico will look very elegant and sleek against a dark cabinet color such as yours, must say it's a lovely choice! As for the backsplash, a marble and glass brick pattern mosaic might look nice and have the colors you're looking for. I've attached a quick example I've found for your reference.
• Snowcountry 04:39AM, Oct 15 2011 Hi, 
  We are in love with the bianco antico and planning on dark expresso cabinets
  Can you suggest if the finish on these cabinets should be matte or the grain lines should show?? Someone suggested that the grain lines would look too busy on the granite...
  Ps.  can you suggest any backsplash that has the off-white undertone as the granite with splashes of dark expresso color in between??? Would glass go or subway tiles??? Our concern is that we don't want to mask the beauty of the granite in anyway...but complemnet it with our choices of backsplash and cabinets.....CONFUSED....HELP!!!!
• Marble.com - Kinga 03:05PM, Jul 20 2011 That's a stunning tile, Derek!
• Marble.com - Derek 01:41PM, Jul 20 2011 An excellent glass tile suggestion for your design is Xen BERMUDA BEIGE Glass Mosaic. I've attached an image. Let me know what you think!
• Nandachelle 03:14PM, Jul 19 2011 It is  not necessary to have glass tile BUT that is what I love. I see so much tile in my home. I wanted a different look.
• Marble.com - Derek 01:40PM, Jul 19 2011 Is it necessary for the backsplash to be a glass tile? I suggested the Capadoccia Glass tile in my previous post, but if you're concerned that the Delicatus is busy (good point) then I recommend to just use a tumbled marble tile, such as the Botticino variety.
• Nandachelle 04:31AM, Jul 16 2011 Please Help! I had my tile installed 4 years ago its called Morphos I believe its by mercer, I painted my cabinets an expresso color and my granite is Delicatus it has a lot of cream and mushroom with spots of black here and there. I cannot figure out what backsplash to use. I have brought home light colors on the glass tile and they almost pick up a green contrast. I think the granite and tile are busy so I cant decide what will make it all flow without clashing....suggestions please
• Marble.com - Kinga 02:40PM, Jul 11 2011 Derek,
  I like Astoria and Canela Bouquet for Haley’s setup. I feel the colors of the stone and cabinet would play off of each other wonderfully. They’re soft, easy on the eyes and elegant for the space.
• Marble.com - Derek 01:51PM, Jul 11 2011 I'm leaning towards the choices with some brownish tones to pick up the cabinets, such as the Sucori Brown and Juparana Gaivota. Some other options that might work well are Astoria and Canela Bouquet.
• Haley 12:42AM, Jul 8 2011 we are installing Karaftmaid maple praline and are stumped on the granite.  We've looked at both Sucuri brown and grey, delicatus, and juparana gaivota, among others. We have natural oak hw floors...any thoughts?  Should we try to contrast or be more monochromatic?  Stumped!
• Marble.com - Derek 04:49PM, Jun 13 2011 I'm leaning towards the Mystic Beige, this color will compliment your chose of Delicatus for the countertop.
• MrsKiwi 12:42PM, Jun 13 2011 Help! We have armstrong Maple with Brown Toffee Glaze Cabinets and chose Delicatus granite for a contrast. We are stumped on paint color for the walls. Considering BenjMoore Latte or Mystic Beige..Any suggestations?
• vicki 10:45AM, May 15 2011 Help! My delicatus white granite, installed one year ago, has developed large spots of pink that were not there originally. Did we not seal it enough? Can it be removed? Any suggestions?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:42AM, May 17 2011 Vicki: Send detailed pictures of the spots to derek@marble.com along with description of the problem for an in-depth inquiry and recommendation on what to do.
• Jill 09:36PM, Mar 28 2011 I love delicatus, but I really didn't want to spend that much money.... Is there a similiar granite at a more affordable price?
  • All Granite and Marble 08:37AM, Mar 29 2011 Jill: The look that Delicatus has is reserved for more expensive stones , but some affordable choices to consider would be Kashmir White, Ambrosia White, and Azul Platino.
• Kristin 07:38PM, Mar 23 2011 I have dark cherry cabinets and Delicatus granite. I am needing a threshold to marry my kitchen tile floors with the hardwoods in the next room. Should I use Delicatus as my threshold?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:14AM, Mar 24 2011 Kristin: You surely can. That's the best possible match!
• Henri 08:25PM, Mar 22 2011 How do you think delicatus white will look with olive colored cabinets?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:45AM, Mar 23 2011 Henri: It's a wonderful choice as the creamy veins in the Delicatus will compliment your cabinets nicely and the movement in the stone will make it the centerpiece of your kitchen.
• Lamia 03:03PM, Mar 10 2011 Does delicatus granite or shivakashi or bianco antico for counter top go with chocolate on birch kitchen cabites. which one better With delicatus what would you recommend for backsplash, floor tiles, paints colour for walls if I go with bianco antico or delicatus. Thanks in advance
  • All Granite and Marble 08:52AM, Mar 11 2011 Lamia: I'm leaning towards Bianco Antico with Benjamin Moore "Barely Beige" wall color and a white subway tile. For flooring, I recommend Noce travertine tile.
• Cody 05:59PM, Oct 29 2010 I have white cabinets with satin nickel fixtures and delicatus for my granite and stainless steel appliances. what backsplash would you reccommend?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:30AM, Nov 2 2010 Cody: For backsplash, you should keep it simple with an off white subway tile.
• Jody 11:47PM, Oct 25 2010 Oh, and I forgot to tell you .... my appliances are BLACK :)
• Jody 11:42PM, Oct 25 2010 I have fruitwood stained oak cabinets, off white ceramic tile flooring and pumpkin spice walls. I want a warm granite and love: * bianco antico * delicatus and *typhoon bordeaux .......... I also want to use 2x4 subway tiles for the backsplash with copper accent tiles behind the sink. Which of the above do you think would work best ... or would you suggest another granite??? thanks so much!!
  • All Granite and Marble 10:15AM, Oct 26 2010 Jody: I'm leaning towards the Bordeaux family of stones. The rich and warm pattern will fit your design nicely.
• Tom 08:17PM, Apr 12 2010 We're looking for a beautiful granite which would look stunning with antique white cabinets with cocoa glaze. We like Delicatus. How do u think it would look? Any other suggestions. We're deciding between dark walnut wood floors or possibly traverine
  • All Granite and Marble 12:52PM, Apr 13 2010 Tom: Delicatus is an excellent choice. Another one is Bianco Antico.
• Tom 03:17PM, Apr 11 2010 We're looking for a beautiful granite which would look stunning with antique white cabinets with cocoa glaze. We like Delicatus. How do u think it would look? Any other suggestions. We're deciding between dark walnut wood floors or possibly traverine.
  • All Granite and Marble 12:05PM, Apr 13 2010 Tom: Delicatus is an excellent choice for a beautiful white kitchen. Another suggestion is Bianco Romano.
• Carla 03:57PM, Apr 5 2010 I was told that White Spring and Delicatus are the same stone. Is this true?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:59AM, Apr 6 2010 Carla: Similar, but not the same.
• Rita 05:35PM, Mar 2 2010 My new cabinets will be cherry wood with Peppercorn stain (Kraftmaid) which is a very dark brown/black. Will Delicatus White contrast well?
  • All Granite and Marble 08:28AM, Mar 3 2010 Rita: Yes! Excellent contrast and a beautiful, dramatic pattern to bring the kitchen to life.
• mary 04:46PM, Mar 1 2010 What do uou think a average price is for 2 slaps of delicatus thanks
  • All Granite and Marble 05:00PM, Mar 1 2010 mary: We do not sell slabs, we are a granite fabricator.
• aroline 02:32AM, Feb 28 2010 do you think Cream/taupe undertone cabinets with Porcelain off white.(limestone grey tiles)will be too white for Delicatus white granite.Beige royale on walls1/2 st??
  • All Granite and Marble 12:50PM, Mar 1 2010 aroline: I think it would be a beautiful white kitchen. Nothing to worry about. Unless you already have plenty of natural light in the kitchen and it's a large area then something darker like Bianco Antico will be more appropriate.
• VICTOR 07:11PM, Feb 27 2010 WITH THIS GRANITE, WOULD AN AUTUMN STAIN LOOK GOOD ON MAPLE OR ALDER WOOD? WHICH WOOD WOULD LOOK BETTER? AND WHY?
  • All Granite and Marble 12:27PM, Mar 1 2010 VICTOR: I'd go with the alder wood for more contrast between the granite and cabinets.
• rosemary cortez 06:57PM, Feb 27 2010 i HAVE A AUTUMN COLOR CABINETS AND A CREAM TRAVELTINE FOOR THAT HAVE GRAY VEINS WITH CREAM WALLS. wOULD THIS WORK THANKS
  • All Granite and Marble 12:18PM, Mar 1 2010 rosemary cortez: Absolutely.
• Cathy 10:55AM, Feb 23 2010 We have antiqued ivory cupboards and Light Travertine (filled and honed) floors. could we use Delicatus supreme for the countertops with the travertine floors?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:26AM, Feb 23 2010 Cathy: Absolutely! It will look gorgeous.
• jackie 10:21AM, Dec 17 2009 I have natural cherry cabinets, tile floor (cream, tan, brown mix),brown/creme tumbled marble backsplash, stainless appliances, warm red walls. Is Delicatus too white/grey? Is there something else you can recommend with a similar pattern but with more cream/brown in it?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:28AM, Dec 17 2009 jackie: Delicatus Gold :-)
• Theresa 05:13AM, Dec 9 2009 I have medium to dark oak stained cabinets with an off white tumbled travertine backsplash. My floor is off white ceramic tile. What color should I paint my walls?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:05AM, Dec 9 2009 Theresa: Perhaps a light gray. Take a look at Classic Gray OC-23.
• Lyn 12:47PM, Nov 3 2009 GALLEY kitchen here..Are you familiar with"SUCURI"? It's similar to this, yet a bit heavier brown/tan. My Pickled Oak cabinets have a pinkish hue.ONLY thing I am not changing. Darker tile, lighter tile? Afriad of making it tunnel like?
  • All Granite and Marble 08:46AM, Nov 4 2009 Lyn: I'm not familiar with Sucuri but it does look similar, not the same however. You should go with light tile.
• Marcy 11:11PM, Sep 26 2009 Kitchen is 13'X14' with a 7'X4' island. Natural light is from 1 north window as well as open to 21'X30' great room. Love the delicatus... another option we also like is Giallo Vincenza. Your thoughts?
  • All Granite and Marble 04:15PM, Sep 28 2009 Marcy: The Delacatus and Giallo Vicenza (170 and 168) would work great in this layout.
• marcy 07:49PM, Sep 25 2009 I have med oak cabinets & golden hardwood floors, all with significant grains. Will delicatus be too busy? Any suggestion for wall color?
  • All Granite and Marble 08:53AM, Sep 26 2009 marcy: It is a spacious kitchen? How is the natural light? I don't think it would be too busy though, wall color should be a neutral earthtone.
• Anne 10:18PM, Sep 12 2009 Can you please tell me the difference between Colonial Cream and Delicatus White. I have a sample of each and they appear to be the same. How would they look in a large kitchen with reddish cherry cabinets and whiteish grey ceramic tile floor? I'd like to warm up the kitchen.
  • All Granite and Marble 09:38AM, Sep 14 2009 Anne: They are very different when you compare the two full slabs, probably the small sample pieces look similar to each other. I think the Delicatus would look richer with your set-up.
• Elle 02:36PM, Sep 2 2009 I have honeystained hardwood floors/stainless/black appliances/cream cabinets and blonde paint. What do you think?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:01AM, Sep 3 2009 Elle: If you are thinking about going with Delicatus it would be an excellent choice.
• Ramona 06:40PM, May 7 2009 I have med oak stock cabinets and golden oak floors. Would this look good or would the busy oak grain be too much for this pattern?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:38AM, May 8 2009 Ramona: Color wise it's a good match. A lot of healthy contrast there. The pattern might fight for attention though. Ultimately, it would really depend on how busy the wood is.
• Lisa 09:33AM, Apr 22 2009 I have cherry wood cabinets with a cinnamon stain. This granite looks stunning against the cabinets. I can imagine it would bring out any color.
  • All Granite and Marble 09:36AM, Apr 23 2009 Lisa: Absolutely! It's great for cherry. Tons of contrast.
• Susan 10:47AM, Apr 6 2009 I have oak cabinets and want to replace my white formica countertops with delicatus granite. Uba Tuba was suggested for something different, but I think that would be a heavy combination. I assume I should go with a darker, more dramtic floor color to contrast with the delicatus. I will use a tumblestone backsplash also.
  • All Granite and Marble 11:20AM, Apr 6 2009 Susan: Delicatus is a light stone and it will contrast with the oak without a problem. It will open up the room and make it more welcoming. Ubatuba would create a formal closed in look which is also good but it all depends on what people like. It's a good idea to break up the lightness with a darker floor. Make sure it's not busy so it won't clash with the veins in Delicatus.
• Cheryl 11:28AM, Mar 14 2009 I have white antique (more cream than white) cabinets, greyish taupe walls, travertine flooring, stainless appliances. Will this look too washed out with my cabinets? Also, I don't want my cabs to start looking yellow... What do you think?
  • All Granite and Marble 05:14PM, Mar 16 2009 Cheryl: Washed out? With this dramatic pattern? I don't think you could make it look washed out if you tried ;).
• cindy 11:56AM, Feb 21 2009 I have hazelnut stained cherry cabinets. The floor is large porcelain tile (cream). Will this granite be enough of a contrast? Haven't picked backsplash either. thought?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:50AM, Feb 24 2009 cindy: Absolutely yes! The dramatic pattern and lots of white in the background will make it stand out.
• Gloria 07:12PM, Jul 28 2008 I have natural cherry cabinets and black appliances and sink with Tuscan bronze faucets and a copper range hood. I am considering delicatus for the countetops with off-white tumbled travertine backsplashes. what do you think?
  • All Granite and Marble 11:54AM, Aug 11 2008 Gloria: Stunning combination! The cherry cabinetry should really present themselves well with Delicatus.
