re: I'm trying to choose granite ... do you know what yours is? (update on page 4)

After a few trips to stone yards, we ended up with something I would have never picked just looking at pictures. We went back to one stone yard because they'd received a bunch of slabs of a granite we'd really liked. As they were pulling out slabs from different lots to show us, I kept walking back to another stone, and eventually decided I had to have it. It's called Fantasy Brown quartzite. In person, it is very beautiful (in our opinions, ymmv).



Cabinet color will be Sherwin Williams Neutral Ground (as pictured, but the style of cabinet door will be Shaker).

Counter tops will be Fantasy Brown quartzite (leathered), except on the island, which will be Black Walnut. The island base will be painted SW Sleepy Blue.

The backsplash (tentative choice) will be a subway tile in Pumice.

Flooring will be porcelain tile.

ETA: Finished kitchen...
