We decided on Crema Bordeaux granite for the counters, hopefully we won't die from Radon. We can't decide between tile or horizonal glass tiles for the BS or just putting up the Crema Bordeaux to the bottom of the cabinets on the stove/ OTR microwave wall, and then doing the same on the opposite wall except dropping down to a 6"granite BS around the window and on the wall that has no over counter cabs. This counter has a 4' peninsula with a raised bar section which is why I would be doing the 6" granite BS. Overkill??
