Showing more of the floor.

And a close up of the two granite samples on what will be the bar showing the tile in the background. I'm concerned about how the granite will look from this space looking into the kitchen The otherside of the bar (where I'm standing to take the pic) will have a medium dark harwood floor.

"I'm not in love with any of the samples shown" This makes me want to ask whether you can go back to the granite yard with your samples and take another look??

OT now, are you doing the tile floor yourself or having it done? Do you have any photos of the Ditra before the tile was put on it, or on any areas where there isn't tile yet?

marti8a- any thoughts on what would look better with the cabinets? We are having the tile done by a friend who's an experienced tile layer. I don't have a pic of just the Detra but here are a couple with more of it showing. I can try to take more when he does other rooms. Do you have questions about it? My husband owns a flooring store and recommends/sells it a lot which is why he wanted it used in our house.

I am having a tough time finding anyone locally who has done it. The locally owned flooring store has one installer who is about 65 and he does it the way he's always done it, thin set on the slab and then tile. I want to minimize cracks, especially on the line between the old and new and I want the Ditra even if I have to do it myself.

Not sure which photo showed the tile color accurately.

I remember seeing several granite slabs that were about the color of your cabinets, but I didn't make note of them because they didn't match mine. Keep looking and mulling it over and you'll find one that complements both tile and cabinets.

I like your tile. What is it?

here's the name: Cream, Brown , Taupe and Black Granite?

there is some good examples that you might like.

as i have said before, when you find "it", you will know.

another tip: the same granite can be called different names, so its always best to see it in person.
best of luck :)

It's hard to tell how much gold your tile has, so this may or may not work for you.

I'd e-mail or call to inquire as to the granite.
