I looked at your ideabook and it seems you like dark countertops.

Thank you. That’s when I had wood cabinets. Im thinkong somewhere is between. I think black/white kitchens are timeless.

I think dark dark blue that almost looks like black would be nice same with gray

This isn't for everyone...5 years ago I did a kitchen facelift. I chose Fantasy Brown Quartzite for my countertops. It's has white, cream, brown, green, grays. My floors are medium oak. I look out on a river that I own about half of in my property, and wanted to bring nature in also. These slabs vary a LOT but here are a couple of shots of my counters, which have a leathered finish. A picture of 'my' river is the last pic.
