I have to make a choice between St. Cecilia light and Desert Sand granite for my kitchen that has light wood floors and dark espresso cabinets. I wanted Alaska White but it is too expensive so I have to choose between these two. I don't like the tan splotches, I think it looks dirty and the maroon spots that look like blood drops so I really want to go with the simple Desert Sand. My husband thinks DS looks manufactured and maybe so but I could care less, it looks better! Does anyone have an opinion that might help me make up my mind? thanks!
