Here is ours - Juparana Delicatus:

Here it is with vanilla bean glaze cabs.

daki: Wow, your cat even matches!

dd70: It's lovely with cream cabinets too.

Do you think delicatus would go with Briarwood Thomasville Cherry cabinets? That's a medium-toned, slightly red cherrywood.

I dont know if this will help you or not but i have brazilian cherry floors and I think the three element work great together. below is a pic, maybe if your cabs are similar color to my floor you can get an idea. I think your best bet is to take a sample door to the granite yard and match it up. Some delicatus looks totally different than the lot I have, but if you find slabs with a lot of coppery bits it would look great with cherry. Looking at granite was my favorite part of the whole process.

We didn't realize how Daki (one of our cats and my online name...) matched until she wandered in and camouflaged herself.

ccoombes1 also has Delicatus with reddish cabinets (oak i think?). See link below
There are a number of different shade variations for Delicatus, some are greyer...

some are more peachy ...

etc. Best bet is to get a sample of your cabinet finish and compare with the actual slabs at the granite warehouse (or a sample).

Here's mine with maple. The backsplash is going to be black. I searched for a delicatus that had more than the usual amount of black in it. You can't tell from these pics, but the pieces by the stove also have a lot of black.

All these photos of Delicatus are gorgeous. Daki, I have never seen your kitchen posted before. I absolutely love it-- fantastic job.

Thanks Morton, we finished last March and am mostly a lurker, but I'm still quite addicted to this forum. :)

I agree with Morton - so many beautiful photos with Delicatus granite! And Daki - I too love your kitchen. You should post photos on the blog. I love the dark cabinets and the ceiling beams to match. I also love the wider window with the gorgeous view.

Daki, beautiful kitchen! I am hoping to accessorize my new kitchen with two kittens. I'll be sure to match them to the granite :)

They are ALL stunning kitchens, and show how adaptable the Delicatus is. Atlgirl, I bet these photos are persuading you to go with this granite.

Sorry to go OT, but Amylovesbud, did you resolve your sink issue? Everything looks beautiful.

Well, I'm just living with it. We have yet to put filler trim in a couple of places, and when we do, we'll camouflage it. It'll still be recessed behind the front of the sink, so I'm not too concerned anymore. And looking at the drip rail posts, I'm thinking my plan might actually be functional, lol!

The floors are scheduled to be refinished January 5, so we should have everything done before then except toekicks and baseboards. I'll post pictures when we get to that point.

Thanks for asking!

Ok: kitty picture my favorite!!!!!!

I love the granite with the gold running through the granite or the slight reddish/warm tints I see posted on here! Looks rich with the cabinets !

Kitty likes new granite! Nice and cool! We should have a thread on just kitty pictures laying on exotic granite!

~Happy Holidays~

Daki:

I now have your kitty on my desk! (I work at a granite shop and now your kitty is a model for our granite book!)

thanks!

(I would not pass that up! too cute!)

I am renovating my kitchen and have chosen cream cabinets with delicatus granite. My problem now is I don't know what to do with the floor? I wanted to do a cream tile with a black dot but I'm not sure if it will go. The table I ordered is from Ethan Allen and is a trestle table with a black bottom and a brown wood top. I have planned to have a black sink, faucet and door pulls. I can't do anything dark as my table won't show up. Today the tile person recommended a 12x24 cream tile. What do you all think? I am stumped! Also, we were planning to use the granite as a backsplash too. Do you think that is too much? Help!!!
