LizaJane Without seeing the countertop of know what colors are in the rest of your home makes this difficult. You could really do anything. What do you like?

Interiors International, Inc. I like the marble tile idea. I don't feel it would look to cool. It is such a classic look. Or did you mean COOL as a posed to cold. Because I think it would look COOL meaning really neat.

kmvisioli I think the marble tile would give a clean, classic look. If you're worried about it looking too cold, you could add pops of color by setting out flowers in a bright vase, other bright accessories (maybe a small rug or mat), or changing out your blinds for a fabric roman shade or wood blinds (something that plays nicely with your floors).
