re: Help Me Pick a Granite Color

Thanks gents.

I was already leaning towards the Colonial White (top one) just because it was less busy and had a more traditional, upscale granite look. The Luna Pearl is cool and has that "shimmer" look to the cut stones within it (which I like), but you are right it is very busy and I'm afraid it could get outdated looking much easier.

I'll sure be glad when all of this selection process stuff is over and they can get started laying the foundation and building. The house is scheduled to be complete around mid-October and should be really nice. This is my first home purchase so I'm pretty excited to see how it all comes together. Thanks again for your comments.

How much are you paying for it?

I actually do not know what they are paying per square foot or exactly how many square feet of countertop we are talking.

Basically this is a canned home (1650 sq/ft craftsman style in a new subdivision) with a huge option/upgrade list for every room that you can choose from. The upgrade price from 2 1/2" thick formica on a large L shaped kitchen area with a double-countertop raised bar area is only $1100 - which doesn't seem too bad for an upgrade that gives so much perceived value.

2 looks like the style of my grandmothers house.

I would go with 1.

I had a customer with the first picture and it was very difficult to choose a backslash.

White subway tile? Copper?

Both would look great.

I went with a white marble with slight gray portions in it. Very basic looking, but the wife is going for an all white kitchen with our dark hard woods.

as someone who just remodeled to an all white kitchen with white cabinets, granite and while tile floor.....never again white floors. I sweep 3 times/day and it never ends.

I did it as a income property, and the floors are teh reason I'm selling it....so I never have to deal with it again.

Got an offer for 60% over my buy in ~25% return after expenses in 6 months
