I actually love the wall color, it goes well with the floor and the darker vanity and cabinet. I agree, granite with some maybe a square sink would be very chic.

(I have said this before and am starting to think it's pretty funny, but) Cambia Windermere counter has a marble-y look in tans, coppers and charcoals that would go with your floor, dark cabinetry and mirror beautifully, Check it out.

Great advice, thank you! A square or rectangular under mount sink was kind of what I had in mind as well. What about backsplash? I did glass tile in my master which I love. But I've seen lots of ideas where they just run the counter top up as the backsplash as well. I think that would work, but I'd like something possibly that would give more of an elegant touch to the area? Any ideas? How about hardware, faucets? Would you leave the lighting (it's can). I'm not looking to spend tons, but I also like to do something and do it well too. Is a sink a sink? As in going to Lowe's for a sink the same as a design studio minus the price tag? @Susanalanandwrigley, @temcgill

Re the sink - we got ours directly from our granite fabricator. They provide a basic oval sink for no extra charge (which we did) or a rectangular one for a small upcharge. They would also let us provide our own, but our plumbing supply coordinator told us there was no reason not to go with the sink provided by the granite place, it would cost more and there would be no advantage. But of course it depends how your granite/quartz fabricator prices things.

good too know, and I will most definitely ask about pricing from them etc. @auntthelma, thank you, I will look that up.

Any thoughts on Carrera marble, It always seems to draw me in but I don't know how it would look with the existing tile/wall color/style that is already there?

If you want to go contemporary, the I would look into the following.

Carrara White Quartz Countertop or Grey Quartz Countertop

Boat White Vessel Sink (http://www.sognaretile.com/collections/fireclay-sinks/products/china-shell-porcelain-canoe-vessel-sinks?variant=5790027205)

If you want to keep it more traditional, then look into the following.

Luna Beige Quartz Countertop

Astro Glass Mosaic

Thank you @ Sognare Tile, Stone & Sinks Co. I will check these out. I seem to air on the traditional side but sometimes I surprise myself. I did make it to a few tile places yesterday and picked up a few things that really caught my eye. Sinks are about $75 across the board @susanalanandwrigley is that a good price? That was for round or rectangular/white or taupe. I do know I'd like a rectangular white sink. I was able to find the Cambia Windermere @auntthelma and think it's got a bit more gold in it than I'd like. But I appreciate your suggestion and am glad I could see it in person. Here is what I picked up.

Soci Tile---SSM-415 Opulent Blend Harlequin

Soci Tile---SSM-422 Orion Blend Arabesque pattern

with glass 1" pencils in Tluna 444-151, or Gravel 444-155, or maybe Ivory 444-122

Granite (possibilities but I'm still open to others)-Granito Amarillo Ornamental and Giallo Ornamental

Trying to attach pictures here but they don't want to load. will keep working on it.

Harlequin option also a Soci Select tile:

Am I going in the right direction or am I way off in left field?
