Santa Cecilia Classic

COMMENTS:

• Marble.com - Derek 04:54PM, Feb 9 2012 I'm leaning toward Tropical Brown with the Maple Mushroom with Cocoa Glaze cabinetry shade. It's a good contrast but will compliment the tones in your wood at the same time. For the backsplash, I recommend to make it interesting, such as 2" x 2" Olive blend natural stone mosaic, or a warmer tile such as 2" x 2" Azteca Mocha blend tumbled travertine mosaic. I've attached pictures for you to see. Hope this helps!
• Marble.com - Derek 07:38PM, Feb 8 2012 I'm with Kinga that bronze faucet would be a traditional and elegant choice as well as compliment the color scheme in your design. You can surely use a full Santa Cecilia backsplash, I do not think it will be too busy. Although these days, using a tumbled tile such as travertine is a popular option and would also look very nice in your set-up.

• Marble.com - Kinga 02:30PM, Feb 7 2012 I would recommend the bronze faucet to compliment your chandelier- do not worry about complimenting your appliances.  Full granite backsplash is a very popular and trendy at this moment but I am; however, seeing a slight decline in this trend.  Keep in mind the full granite backsplash is quite easy to clean and maintain so that may help your decision. I would strongly recommend making your backsplash choice as soon as possible to ensure you are getting the same shipment of your stone. You do not want to end up with a lighter, darker or busier stone than your countertop (in case your shipment sells out).  Good luck!
• Tigerpaw88 04:39PM, Feb 6 2012 New home construction and I want to have extra dark walnut stained concrete floors with a light maple brown glazed cabinets.  Would Santa Celia, tropical brown, or Giallo Ornamental C work best for the granite? also, what is your recommendation for back splash and wall color?  (leaning toward basic Renwick beige or sand beach from Sherwin Williams)
• Yvettevanessa 12:36AM, Feb 3 2012 Hi next Friday we are putting Santa Cecilia it looks like ID#662 we have cherry wood cabinets and black appliances with a stainless steel sink. I’m trying to decied on what color faucet either bronze or nickel? Our chandelier is bronze but all our small appliances and wine fridge are stainless steel. Please HELP!
   
  Oh I forgot to mention that our walls are cream color and the back splash is painted and olive green and we are still contemplating on going all the way up with the granite....what do you think?
• Marble.com - Derek 06:42PM, Nov 18 2011 Have you though about using natural travertine tiles throughout the bathroom up to the ceiling? I suggest brushed or antiqued ivory travertine large subwaytiles in a size such as 6" x 12". Let me know what you think.
• Katieandgannon 03:54AM, Nov 18 2011 Trying to find tile for our large bathroom floor and for a tile shower to go with the Santa cecilia classic.  Our granite is closer to number 662.  The Cabinets for the double vanity and tub surround are almost black in color.  We are hoping to tie in a tile backsplash around the top of the granite around the jacuzzi tub.  Any suggestions for Tile??
• Marble.com - Derek 08:29PM, Nov 4 2011 Can you upload a picture of the cabinets?
• Astewartat 02:18PM, Nov 4 2011 We are installing maple cabinets which have radius edge with lots of corners catching a dark glaze.  We have picked out a Santos St. Cecilia slab of granite (with a long dark streak perfect for a peninsula) but are starting to have doubts that the overall countertop is too light for these cabinets.  What are your thoughts?
• Marble.com - Derek 05:38PM, Oct 18 2011 For the backsplash, my recommendation is a 2" x 4" Crema Marfil polished mosaic. I've attached a picture for your reference. As far as wall color, Benjamin Moore "Honeyed Almond" could fit quite nicely and balance the design. Good luck!
• Marble.com - Kinga 12:58PM, Oct 17 2011 I feel the always classic and popular tumbled marble backsplash with accent tiles would be a fantastic choice for your setup.  Benjamin Moore’s “Simply Irresistible” or “Olivetint” are beautiful paint options to finish off the design and showcase your granite. Let me know what you think!
  
• Frank 10:45PM, Oct 15 2011 We are installing Santa Cecilia Classic countertops and have Starmark Cabinets (Red Oak) stained Cappuccino.  We are having problems trying to figure out what type of backsplash to use and what color to paint the walls.
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thanks in advance.
• Jessica 03:28PM, Sep 15 2010 We are remodeling our kitchen for the first time and are having problems matching up counter tops and tile flooring. We have Glazed Hickory cabinets and really like Santa Cecilia Classic. Should we go with a Santos Bone or Arayan Gris for the tile floors?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:40AM, Sep 17 2010 Jessica: I'm leaning towards the Santos Bone for your set-up.
• melissa 08:16AM, Jul 31 2010 We are building and can't determine which top for our kitchen. We have cypress in light finish with darker brown tile floor. We also have cypress celings. Appliances are black/stainless. Cant decide on tan brown or santa cecilia.
  • All Granite and Marble 11:13AM, Jul 31 2010 Melissa: I'm leaning towards the Tan Brown for a rich contrast and elegant design.
• Ann 09:26PM, Apr 19 2010 Does this granite look good with maple paprika cabinets and peru sienna tumbled travertine backsplash?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:48AM, Apr 20 2010 Ann: Yes!
• diane 09:44AM, Aug 21 2009 got it, thank you so much!
• diane 09:36AM, Aug 21 2009 thanks for this response. does that also mean that there can't be more than 12 inches in between the bases supporting the middle of the table?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:41AM, Aug 21 2009 diane: Well from each base it can go 12 inches so the total length from one base to the other without support in the middle cannot exceed 24 inches, you follow me?
• diane 09:23AM, Aug 21 2009 can this granite be used as a dining table top? i have an existing table (not granite) on 2 iron bases, size approx 3' wide by 6' long, would I be able to use those bases to install a granite table top?
  • All Granite and Marble 09:33AM, Aug 21 2009 diane: This granite is perfectly suitable for application as a tabletop. Keep in mind granite cannot overhang in any direction more than 12 inches.
• Debbi 10:06PM, Apr 21 2009 This is not really a granite question, but I am putting granite in my kitchen and just wanted to ask if using a vegetable sink and double sink, would the faucets need to be the same or does it really matter if they are not alike? Thanks,
  • All Granite and Marble 09:34AM, Apr 23 2009 Debbi: Well, I'd think that a matching set would look nice.
