    Thanks for sharing everyone! Gorgeous counters, all! Pipdog, I love the Madre Perla combined with your backsplash. What BS did you use? It's a beautiful combination with the stainless.

    we just finished our remodel. My granite Giallo Ornamental. I thought it was a fairly common granite but I don't see any pics of it in this thread...or maybe it's so common no one uses it anymore! LOL

    My countertops are verde peacock. It is also considered a common or stock granite but since no one else has posted a picture of it I will.
    This close up shows the blue/green splotches that I love.

    From a distance the granite reads almost black

    Vsalz - what kind of stone is that? It is gorgeous, I love it.

    Late to this party, but thought that wood was under-represented. This is my pecan countertop from Devos:

    Confess I'm loving the 'Jet Mist' granites, though I went in a completely different direction.

    SE ME. My countertop is a quartzite. They call it fantasy brown here in Utah.

    Everyone's countertops are so beautiful and it's great to see all of the different ones in real kitchens! You all have great taste!

    Here are pictures of our two quartz countertops.
    Loving this thread but it leads me to wishing I could have a few kitchens, each to satisfy a different style! :-)

    Aliris-Is it the same as yours?


  • aliris19
    11 years ago

    60 - yup, we have the same, but yours is from a "greener" (and softer) part of the mountain (it's in India, in Rajasthan I believe). The difference in color between my pictures is a function of the photography not the stone. It's all pretty much that darker shade. I believe I've seen yours in the stone yards and it is quite a bit lighter in color, and also with fewer wild tangents, if you will...which from a fabrication standpoint is a good thing. It's hard to cut the stone with those big changes in quality that happen in the veins.

    I've never seen mine here (or anywhere on the internet) so I'll add it to the mix. It is leathered kodiak brown. It is similar to antique brown or marron cohiba, but it comes from Quebec and has a smaller, more uniform grain to it. From it distance it reads solid black, but up close you can see some interesting texture.

    What an old thread! Notice the OP never returned....

    Since DuPont's Zodiaq quartz has not been mentioned I'll add mine.

    Galaxy Black

    For all those who want to do another kitchen to use a different stone I have one word...

    BATHROOMS! ;)

    Bumping this thread up because it's a great compilation of various counters in real-life kitchens.

    Shareher I'm looking at that same quartzite. It's beautiful. I was wondering what color your cabinets and island are painted.

  • jennybc

    Love love love this topic. Your kitchens are amazing. Looking for pics of stainless; particularly of stainless with white cabinets and beadboard backsplash... Have you ever seen this combo? Any ideas would be awesome.
    Again truly amazing kitchens!!

    What a great post. What a treat to see so many lovely kitchens. Thank you all for posting!

  • chitownkat

    I love this thread as well. It is so hard to envision a counter top based on even a 12 by 12 sample so these pics are invaluable.

  • joaniepoanie

    Majra--how long have you had your counter? Any problems? It's really pretty!

  • Majra

    Joaniepoanie, the counters are brand new so the only problem I've had is that I can't stop staring at them. ;-)
