Kitchen Decisions (and a bit more of the bedroom)

 We are currently deciding what marble to use as the cooktop surround and backsplash. I think we're going to go with a herringbone mesh honed carrara for the backsplash and 6 x 12" subway tiles for the cooktop surround. The only bummer is that I've ordered samples from two different suppliers and the one we prefer (it's whiter) has a shipping charge equal to the per price square foot. CRAP we really can't afford to have the cost double! Here's everything laid out on the current hideous blue countertops.

 Sally Wheat used Benjamin Moore Flagstone. I think that's too dark for us, so we're going to go with Vapor Trails. Only I'll have good ole Home Depot color match it. And I don't even feel like I'm being cheap (although I am) since Behr paint always gets such high marks by Consumer Reports.
 Ringo asked me to upload this picture for you to see the rest of the bedroom. Do you think "Ceci ne pas une pipe" is too high? I do, but don't worry, I've already lowered it.
 Here's an up-close look at the duvet cover. A nice bird/tropical print with blues and reds.
