In the event that we still have some $ for a backsplash, I'm wondering what folks think about marble tile (currently looking at this -- though it looks much more grey in the photo than in person) with a dark walnut-stained (Ikea beech) butcher block countertop. My concern is the cool grey with the warm wood. Any photos here? (Yes, I've googled!)

Thanks! If I can bust my buns to prepare the countertops, we just might have a kitchen next weekend -- in time for our infant's baby naming! (see also: grandparents and birthfamily visiting :)
