| Behind the range top will be the dot mosaic to the lower left of the black board outlined with the pencil trim of the marble board to the left. The rest will be silver clouds beveled subway tiles. I had never seen that marble in person but it is absolutely gorgeous! It is the perfect mix of colors. My countertops are Cambria Torquay and the my island is the gray color. |

| I love it and by the way, your cabinetry is beautiful! What a gorgeous space that is going to be. |

| Thank you! I just realized it's very hard to see the details but in person... Lovely! :) |

| Okay, fess up and tell us where you got it! I'd love to see if it would match my stuff (so yeah, I love it enough to consider copying it!) Based on your tastes, Isabel, I think we'd be friends. We'd at least love shopping together. :) Can't wait to see the final kitchen. I hope mine looks that great once everything starts going together. Right now I'm just in that nervous stage. |

| lovetodream - thank you! lol... I found the tile today at the stone yard where I'm getting my countertops. The Silver Shadow tile board is from Marble Systems. So, so pretty! http://www.marblesystems.com/products/material-category/marble/ And the dot mosaic in clay is the Didgeridoo Dots line from Maniscalco Stone. Such a beautiful blend in person with grays and creams but on the website it appears to only be tans. http://www.maniscalcostone.com/Marble-L3.aspx?traMasterColorId=177&tra
AssignerID=1&CategoryId=2 I tried taking a better picture of it but it just doesn't do it justice. |

| I'm going to be the dissenting opinion here. It's just all too white and beige. You need some contrast. The marble on my monitor also reads a bit pinkish and might turn more so with a sealer on it. Those options would work much better with a medium toned to dark floor. With a light floor and the cabinets and backsplash light you would need a darker counter to balance it all. As it is now there is interest with a difference of textures, but you also need some juxtaposition of light and dark to stop the kitchen from being so all light, bland, and monotone. The black liner will stand out too much with all that lightness. It would work better with a darker counter too. |

| It will be beautiful. It will compliment any accessories and look especially nice with a vase of pink roses and a little greenery. |

| Thank you for your responses! I pulled the trigger and ordered the marble today! It was a bit more than I was expecting but this is my dream kitchen so I had to do it. I am in LOVE with this marble! |
