Normally I can envision my ideas, but I'm at a total loss with this one.

I was offered a gorgeous, ready to be installed, granite vanity top for FREE! I couldn't say no, despite the fact that it's brown :(

I have a buddy who is talented in wood work, who's agree to build my granite top it's custom vanity.

I just moved into a new place and the master bath has a large soaking tub.

This brown granite seemed destined to be in my bathroom. Trouble is, I usually don't do browns. I just can't seem to get my creative juices flowing.


So, my questions are:

1. What color palettes compliment brown granite?

2. Is it possible to keep dark tones at a minimum without compromising the natural beauty of the granite?

3. Would an antique white vanity work well?


My overall goal is to feature my vanity top as the star in the room. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!
