Fantasy brown counter - need sink help!

11 years ago

I too am struggling with the many Blanco silgranit sink color options. We have dark hickory plank flooring in our kitchen, the beverage bar will be topped with hickory, white cabinets will be installed with Fantasy Brown countertops. I am leaning towards the truffle color and think that would look nice with our ORB hardware. Metallic Gray is beautiful and white would be timeless. Too many choices! Thanks for all help/opinions!

Jeannine4, your sink and counters are gorgeous! I just don't think you can go wrong with a timeless white sink. I ultimately switched from Fantasy Brown to White Macaubas. Sadly, we could not find slabs we liked well enough in FB - too green and not enough gray or scratched :( What are you doing for a backsplash?

Here is a close up of the metallic gray color. It seemed darker in the store!

I love fantasy brown! are you wanting to pick up the browns/taupe in it, the gray, or the white? That's one thing I love about this stone is that it is SO versatile, and you can pair green, gray, brown.... I think all 3 choices would be lovely, it just depends on what you want to highlight.

Washington Marble Works, thanks for your feedback! We decided to switch to White Macaubus with a white sink. What would you suggest for a backsplash? Thanks!

@pam10222 I am tryign to decide on backsplash today. I think I am going to go white to keep it bright but I have to see. Was thinking subway tile all around with a grey grout, and then these 'moroccan' tiles for above the stove - ill send you a picture

Can you tell me how your fantasy Brown counter is holding up? I was just told not to use it due to staining (like marble)...but I LOVE it....so still think I may just go ahead with it....

Pam what did you decide? I am having this exact dilemma with Fantasy brown whether to do Truffle or Metallic Grey. Is the truffle more of a brown or is it a grey? Thanks

I am getting Fantasy brown granite and was going to go with the Café Brown sink.

I am in the process of redoing kitchen now. Have Fantasy Brown ordered and have purchased a café Blanco sink with an oil rubbed bronze faucet. Which sink did you pick and do you like it, and the granite?

How does it look? I really love the cafe brown. I just can't decide between it and the truffle.

It has not been installed yet. I was also torn between the truffle and the cafe brown, but decided I really loved the cafe brown more. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

I went with the metallic and absolutely love it. Also went with the "leathered" fantasy brown. I can take a better picture but it's all I had on my phone.

Beautiful kitchen!! I am surprised to see the way you have the grain of the granite going on your island. I always saw in my mind the grain going the long way. Is this the way you chose for it to be or was there no option?

I love your kitchen - it is gorgeous!! What are the dimensions of your island?
