  • Marble.com - Kinga 06:28PM, Dec 17 2011 In addition to Derek’s suggestions, you can add decorative tiles or boarders to spice up the design. Good luck!
  • Marble.com - Derek 08:19PM, Dec 7 2011 On the backsplash, I'd use a soft, natural stone tile such as tumbled Rhine travertine or Botticino Fiorito marble. These tiles are warm and not overly busy to keep the focus and attention on your Santa Cecilia granite. I've attached image examples for your reference.
  • gailo 07:04PM, Dec 2 2011 We have Santa Cecelia Lite countertops and are ready to do a wall backsplash between countertop and undercabinet. Should we keep the color plain so as to not compete with the granite? We are having trouble agreeing on colors for the backsplash.
  • Marble.com - Derek 04:58PM, Sep 27 2011 You're going in the right direction. The Santa Cecilia family of stones will create a warm and airy feel for your kitchen. Some other options worth checking out are Giallo Napoleone and New Venetian Gold.
  • Melanie1177 04:33AM, Sep 24 2011 I have coastal white cabinets with a toupe glaze...i am really struggling with what granite to choose i looked at santa cecilia light and classic..would these be a good choose or should i go in another direction?
  • Marble.com - Kinga 01:19PM, Sep 21 2011 Absolutely!  The Santa Cecila would be a perfect choice for your cabinets. Go for it!
  • Marble.com - Derek 07:23PM, Sep 20 2011 Absolutely. Also check out the "Santa Cecilia Real" variety. Both are solid and timeless options.
  • Vin_kitty 02:44PM, Sep 20 2011 Will st Cecelia light go well with birch cabinets in cinnamon and dark walnut finish hardwood flooring
  • Jill 03:50PM, Apr 9 2011 I have cherry cabinets and Santa Cecilia light granite in my kitchen. Now I need to choose a tile for the backsplash. Any suggestions??? Thanks!
    • All Granite and Marble 10:13AM, Apr 11 2011 Jill: I recommend Oyster Mix Flamed Travertine tile. You can see it in our Materials Page under "Tiles".
  • Allison 10:52AM, Nov 27 2010 Thanks! A few more questions & I promise I'll stop bothering you! with the Noce Travertine Tumbled Tile, do you think their porousness would make them dirt & grease magnets and hard to clean, especially as a kitchen backsplash? Also, I'm in NC and am sure I won't be in CT, NJ, etc., is there a possibility I could have a sample shipped to me? I'd be glad to pay any associated cost.
    • All Granite and Marble 09:51AM, Nov 29 2010 Allison: The travertine tile will have some maintenance and you will need to clean it, for a lesser maintenance try subway tile. And unfortunately we do not ship out our samples, they are only available for pick-up, i'm sorry.
  • Allison 05:03PM, Nov 26 2010 Also, do you know where I could get a sample of the Santa Cecilia Light granite?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:02AM, Nov 27 2010 Allison: We have samples of this stone available for pick-up at any of our locations.
  • Allison 05:02PM, Nov 26 2010 We will be using Santa Cecilia LIght in our kitchen with the Seacrest 2 Birch cabinet in Clove from Quality Cabinets. (http://www.qualitycabinets.com/products/door-styles/woodstar/seacrest2/birch/clove/index.html). We will have slightly lighter hardwood floors with highlights that match the color of the cabinets. Can you recommend a backsplash tile? I had seen where you recommended Noce Travertine Tumbled Tile for the Santa Cecilia and was wondering if you would recommend the same for the light?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:01AM, Nov 27 2010 Allison: Absolutely, you can use a noce travertine backsplash to compliment the Santa Cecilia Light. It will look wonderful.
  • Melanie 06:01PM, Jul 24 2010 Hello - do you think this St. Cecilia Light would go well with black appliances and oak cabinets (honey spice with mocha highlights). The floor tiles are a swirled pattern of various shades of grays and mauve.
    • All Granite and Marble 08:45AM, Jul 26 2010 Melanie: Absolutely! Another option might be New Venetian Gold.
  • lee 05:22PM, Nov 13 2009 Do you then think cherry would look better than maple?I need to make my final decision and just checking all of my options. Thanks again for your help!
    • All Granite and Marble 11:07AM, Nov 14 2009 lee: Matters if you want a lighter or darker tone to the kitchen. If it's an open area with plenty of sunlight then cherry cabinets will look good.
  • lee 07:57PM, Nov 12 2009 Do you think neutral cherry kitchen cabinets would look good with tigerwood on the floor? I am also thinking of ubatuba for countertop. I need your help> Thanks so much!!
    • All Granite and Marble 09:26AM, Nov 13 2009 lee: Tigerwood goes great with cherry! Adding Ubatuba will make for a very classic look.
  • Sharlene 11:41AM, Nov 9 2009 Thanks for suggestion. Actually liked a couple of other Santa Cecilia that have less yellow and some burgundy. What would you recommend if I wanted to go with something in the green range?
    • All Granite and Marble 08:53AM, Nov 10 2009 Sharlene: Something from the Butterfly family.
  • Sharlene 09:38PM, Nov 8 2009 Have maple floors, bisque appliances, and will be refacing cabinets with new Shaker style doors all to be painted light sage green. Kitchen only has 1 window with very indirect light. Would this be too dark or otherwise not look good?
    • All Granite and Marble 10:28AM, Nov 9 2009 Sharlene: Take a look at the different types of Santa Cecilia, no need to worry it's an overall light stone.
  • Liz 09:37PM, Sep 25 2009 Can you suggest a paint color that would go well w/S.C. light. Our cabinets are medium maple (pecan) and the appliances are white. Thanks.
    • All Granite and Marble 09:21AM, Sep 26 2009 Liz: Maybe a light grey or beige.
  • Sam 12:05AM, Jul 26 2009 I'm sorry to keep asking questions about the floor, but that's the last component in the remaking of our kitchen. Everything else is done, and we want it to look right. Do you have any recommendations on a wood species that might look good with our S. C. Light counter and Red Oak cabinets. There's also the Tigerwood floor in the living room to consider as well. Did I mention the wall is a very light pink?
    • All Granite and Marble 09:15AM, Jul 27 2009 Sam: I think Oak hardwood flooring would look the best with this set-up.
  • Sam 06:57PM, Jul 12 2009 I have Santa Cecilia Light countertops with Natural Red Oak cabinetry. Do you have any recommendations for flooring? I have Tigerwood floors in our adjacent living room.
    • All Granite and Marble 11:42AM, Jul 13 2009 Sam: I would go with a light tile in the kitchen
  • Rick 12:54PM, Sep 16 2008 What type of stain on maple cabinets to go best with Santa Cecilia Light c/top and Oak hardwood floors?
    • All Granite and Marble 05:44PM, Sep 25 2008 Rick: Cappuccino or mocha.
