I am redoing my kitchen in a maple cabinet..ginger snap with espresso glaze. I am have difficulty selecting granite. I want a light granite with some movement and brown tones. I welcome any suggestions.
Hi, Please accept my depest apology in delay of responding. I think that both stones are similar to each other, however Sunset Ivory is more sandy with ivory and black veins. On the other hand Ivory Fantasy is greyish with twister movements. Regarding to your cabinets I'm more leaning towards Ivory Fantasy because then your kitchen will get a distinct character. The best way to choose the exact stone is to go again to South Plainfield location and compare whole slabs with your door of the cabinets. Good luck !
Hello. I am trying to figure out the difference between Ivory Fantasy and Sunset Ivory. I picked up a sample of Sunset Ivory from So. Plainfield and really love it but see many pictures of Ivory Fantasy on your website that look beautiful. Can you explain the main difference between the two? I am getting cream colored perimeter cabinets with a hazelnut glaze and an espresso island. thank you
Hi Lisa, I really like your choice about the white cabinets and white appliances with creamy veins on the countertop, you will get a lot of light and calm in your kitchen. Also you can try to go with New Colonial Dream, Sunset Ivory or Colonial Gold countertop. The best way to choose the exact stone is to go to one of our facilities, see the slabs of the stones, take some samples home and compare with all your staff in the kitchen. Regarding to the backsplash I would recommend you to go with natural tiles like marble or travertina. I have found you some samples of a backsplash: Cream Marble, more creative: Beige Marble or Cream Travertina. I hope it will work !
Hi. I have natural oak floors, white cabinets and white appliances. Would you recommend ivory fantasy for the counter top? If so, any backsplash recommendations? If not, what other granite color do you suggest? Thanks! Lisa
Hi Ann. I'm leaning toward a lighter stone choice to contrast and offset the darker cherry spice wood cabinetry. The Ivory Fantasy has a cool, subtle color tone and some veining so I think it's an appropriate choice. I would also recommend to consider options such as Astoria and Sunset Ivory. However, going with a Butterfly stone is also not a bad idea -- it's elegant and adds a contemporary touch. I think what would make it or break it is the amount of natural light in the kitchen. If there is not a lot of natural light, then I'd stick with the lighter countertop choice. Since the kitchen is not very large, a lighter countertop right now seems like a better idea to brighten the space up and not make it feel smaller with a dark stone. Hope this helps.
hi I have custom cherry spice cabinets ordered, I need to find a granite countertop. My husband likes ivory fantasy because it is light and our kitchen faces north and is not super large --13 by 18 feet. I like the contrast of butterfly antique gold. I would think that it would be hard to get a backsplash to work with the ivory. Please help!

Hello. Yes, we have multiple shipments of Ivory Fantasy that vary slightly in color tone and pattern. The quality of the slabs is all the same. If you use the Online Estimate Tool (www.marble.com/estimate) for a price, then this price is valid and accurate, just as if you would of received it at one of our sales offices: www.marble.com/locations
Ivory Fantasy samples have several variations. Do grades vary too? If I chose it and my square footage is 17sqft how close can i expect your estimate to be to the one I will recieve at your showroom?

Hi Lynne! Congratulations on your brand new Ivory Fantasy countertops! Since this stone has a soft and subtle pattern, perhaps you can use a mosaic for the backsplash. I recommend to consider tiles such as Walnut Tumbled Travertine w/ Glass Inserts or a 2" x 2" Startford Place Ceramic Blend. I've attached photos for your easy reference.
Need a little help. Your guys just installed Ivory Fantasy in the kitchen. It looks great. Now I have to decide on back splash. Cabinets are mable and the floor is ceramic tan on the darker side. Suggestions for back splash and wall paint colors?
Thanks,
Lynne
The Ivory Fantasy has a soft, flowing pattern that is calm but it has bursts of warm highlights and veins at the same time. I think it's an excellent choice and I am leaning toward this choice over the Kashmir Gold. Another option could be Sunset Ivory.
I need help on choosing colors to consider - I have golden oak kitchen cabinets, and floors the same. I don't want anything that is too yellow. I would like to keep it on the a light side or mid tones. what do you think of Ivory Fantasy or Kashmir Gold. I like granite that has the waves -- thank you

If you want to make a bold statement, check out Nero Marquina. Do you have a favorite or specific color in mind? More information would be more helpful in giving you best advice. :)
