Please help me choose a counter top!

10 years ago

I've chosen an off-white/cream cabinet (you can see it in some of the photos), and now I'm looking for a counter top. I'm planning on getting a copper kitchen hood and oil-rubbed bronze faucets, so I'd really like a counter top that has some gold/brown/beige colors. I've been looking at granite and quartzite (I love the "flowy" patterns of the quartzite).

I'm attaching photos of some of the surfaces I like. First Nacarado; second, MIllenium Gold; third, Golden Riviera; fourth, Gold Macauba.

Which, if any, do you think would go well? Any other ideas?

    Lovely choices and it really comes down to personal preference as they all seem like good choices (the last one appears quite yellow so I am not sure about that one). Without seeing the stone in person I vote for the first one - the veining and colours are great and it appears more white than the others. Should be a good mix with copper accents.
