Help me pick granite counters

[mrsd2006]

This is for the kitchen at our cabin, so there's a lot of wood around. That is a cabinet door for reference, it's a honey ish color. These pics are a little blurry for some reason. There are 4 total
Thanks!

3 is Gallo Ornamental granite

1 is called Revolution. The other 2 I didn't get the names.

3 is far and away my favorite, 1 is next. Then 2 and 4, but way behind the first choices.

I like #1 b/c it's less contrast-y. I'm guessing the cabin isn't huge, and I'd rather have the counter be more smooth-looking and not have lots of big contrasting blobs standing out. Most cabins have a lot of warm wood tons that would look nice with that granite.

If you are trying to go cooler tones/gray with anything, then you'd have to choose 3.

4 looks similar to what we have in our new house. I don't hate it, but I find the really warm colors kind of hard to work with.

I like 3 best.  It has some of those warm tones, but the white and gray moderate it nicely.

I like high contrast and fun granite, so my choices are 3, 1, 4, 2.

Agreed, I like 1 best because it’s the most subtle.

1 or 3

[libbygrl109]

I like 3 the best.

[pumpkin]

I would do 1 then 3.

[sandandsea]

I like 3 because it’s lighter.

[darby]

3 is my favorite, 1 is next.

[InBetweenDays]

3 is by far my favorite.

1 for me

[lessel]

I like a brighter kitchen, so I vote 3. But I do generally like less contrast in granite, so #1 is my second vote.

I like 3 the best. One because it is brighter and I think that is the way you should go if there is a lot of wood around, and two, I like that it is has more grey tones in it than just the beige tones and it will give you a little more grace if you ever decide to change the cabinet color or bring in more color in other parts of the space.

[mrsd2006]

Thank you for your opinions! 3 is the one we are leaning to as well, as it has more of the creamy/white color to break up all the wood tones. 1 is the second choice. We are going to the other warehouse for the granite store today and will hopefully have a final decision.

And don't listen to your DH if he says not to bring a door sample with you, we went without it the first time and picked a slab, then the second time came with the door and it looked awful with the first slab we picked So we had to start all over!

3 is my favorite but I like 1 also.

For the 3 different projects we worked with a designer on, step 1 was pick cabinets, step 2 was take the cabinet door to the find a slab, step 3 was accent tiles. So basically, a trained professional (and me!) agree with you.

#1 definitely!
