Fireplace & Granite Distributors Check out our website at http://www.fireplacecarolina.com -- look through the Granite Colors category. There are so many different colors and shades of lighter colors, I'm sure you will find the one you are looking for.

bepsf Depends on you, your house, your finances and your neighborhood.

There is such a thing as overimproving a house: If you have a builder-basic tract house - adding granite counters with no other updates is like wearing pearls to WalMart...
...and if you're in a region or neighborhood where housing values are dropping like rocks from the sky, foreclosures are rampant, boarded up windows are the norm and local jobs are being swept off to China - no amount of home improvement is going to add value to your home.

And finally - If you can't pay cash to make improvements to your home, now is the wrong time to go further into debt to improve a depreciating asset.

I'd say that unless you plan to stay there and enjoy your home for the next 10-20 years - Don't bother spending major money on big home improvements because you won't see a 100% return on the money spent in the short-term.

Green Apple Design yep...pottery barn. they are the smaller of the two.

cj323 Thank you! They might just be what I've been searching for.

Paul Anater That appears to be a granite counter and the stone is called either Bianco Romano, White Palmas or White Spring; depending on where you are located. Granite doesn't have standardized names so they may vary.

Paul Anater I'm in Florida Rebekah and for some reason, it seems everything is a giallo here. It's important for people not to get too hooked on a name or a photo of a stone. All of those decisions have to be made at a stone yard as you stand in front of the slabs that you'll end up using.

Crocodile Rocks This is most definitely called Bianco Latino Granite
