This kitchen is all Oak cabinets and since those will be staying and the floor will be staying, the countertops must be changed. I eventually hope to change the color of the oak but for now,counterops will be the only project.
Please let me know which granite you think will be the best. I have narrowed it down to three.
HELP! PLEASE?
UPDATE:
Brown Persa is going in Friday! When backsplash is in (following week I will post new pictures

HOLY COW, that's a lot of oak. I really like the second one because it's unique, but if you're thinking of resale value you might choose the first or third option. They seem like they would appeal more to the general populace. GOOD LUCK!

Option 1 coordinates with the gray backsplash (if that stays. Option 2 has blues that will make the gray appear more cool. Less busy is best.

I have considered UbaTuba, however, I didn't want a black countertop. Thank you

Have you considered Uba Tuba? Think it would be a good choice.

Master Bedroom, We as parents always leave our bedroom last to decorate. So here is a quick cheap clean up of our bedroom. WE had the old vertical blinds with no top treatment. I also made a mistake and had the furniture painted black which would have been ok except the painter didn't do a good job. But someday new furniture will be ordered. But for now for less than $500 we changed the room abit. , Bedrooms Design

Cottage style kitchen, We have recently downsized our lives and welcomed the idea of condo living. We were able to completely customize our condo as we entered the project in its early stages. They are styled in a craftsman bungalow look. Wall color Benjamin Moore Stonehearth. , Kitchens Design

transitional/Contemporary/minimalist kitchen makeover(before & after), cookie cutter track home got a major overhaul from floor to ceiling. Kitchen is on the small side and the short cabinets made the room feel even smaller. original yellow oak cabinets ,white tile countertops and recessed fluorescent lights from early 2000. Lacked personality and style and very ugly to say the least.
Did my research and laid out a budget before taking the plunge though in the end we nearly doubled the amount spent. project took two months from start(demo) to finish. , Kitchens Design

50's Cozy Cottage Kitchen, Our kitchen space is cute, but old. The cabinets have been repainted many times. The floor is uneven because of multiple layers of linoleum. The appliances need replacing. Something is leaking between the fridge and dishwasher and we don't know which so we keep a towel underneath the fridge to soak up the water coming from somewhere. The bar/pantry is so deep, things get lost and you never see them again. The bar really isn't a bar it's a "catch-all" and we need more space!! , Kitchens Design

Open concept, This is a 2 bedroom apartment above our garage that my husband and I have almost finished. He fought me on the white cabinets wanting a rustic feel and I wanted some contrast from the dark hardwood floors and pine ceiling. I'm so happy with the end result, and so is he. Original plan had the island straight, we angled it to soften the transition from kitchen to living room and vise versa., Kitchens Design

Total Transformation, The kitchen prior to renovations was a Galley kitchen with a pass through to the formal dining room on one side and then had a breakfast nook on the other side. There was a wall between the breakfast nook and an indoor patio.

I decided to knockdown the wall between the breakfast nook and the indoor patio and then close up the pass through to the formal dining room. I then transformed the formal living room into an office and placed my dining room furniture where the breakfast nook used to be. The kitchen has a huge bar that you can sit at so there is no need for a breakfast nook anymore.

This created a giant living/dining/kitchen area. , Kitchens Design

Tile backsplash #2, aaahhhh, I was SO SO happy with how this backsplash turned out! I really contemplated how to do it and had a hard time finding something I thought would look good. The granite is a little wild so I wanted something that would blend nicely. I used the same 2" tiles I used at my daughters house (see backsplash #1) but turned them on a diagonal. WOW what a difference! Plus this was very inexpensive tile. Only $2.97 for a 12x12 in sheet! Used the "Simple mat tile adhesive" again. Love this stuff., Kitchens Design
