Would you happen to know the name/style of granite counter top you have? There are so many and I'm worried that the sample is an untrue representation. Thanks for your help!

Imagine my surprise this morning! Ha! After an exhaustive search for a travertine that I felt confident with, I refocused my search on subway's. I can't say that I am 100% sure I made the right decision, but after 3+ years I am so over looking for "the one" I honestly, with my inability to envision, don't know that I would have ever known it if I had it in my hot little hand! I decided to go with logic. Well, MY uneducated logic anyway. ;) I thought that with painted cabinets with slight antiquing, in a nearly beige color, I would be safe with a classic subway. While the color I ended up choosing will look monochromatic, given it's beige tones, I chose a tile made to look "hand made" with slight (I hope) imperfections to give it a little more character than an average subway and give it (I hope) a more aged, rustic feel (without being overly distracting) It also has a gloss finish where my cabinets are very matte. I hope this will distinguish it from the cabinets by simply changing the overall shine/texture. I was (am) so afraid of it looking too matchy-matchy. I'm also adding a chair rail border with, probably, a herringbone design above the cooktop to break it up a bit. I've been going with a "less is more" approach when looking at tiles but have seen a lot of subways that look like they "just need a lil some-in some-in" so I'm hoping this little change will do the trick. Since it's all the same color and tile, I hope to maintain a clean simple look. So, thanks again for the info, if I absolutely hate what I choose, I will order a sample of yours to see if it works. Your kitchen is beautiful, and inviting. Cross your fingers and wish me luck!

It comes in the larger bricks and then the smaller as well. If you go to their website and punch in the color it will bring it up for you to see.
