Jen, I was about to suggest leathered finish granite, but you're already going in that direction.
I chose leathered for my main countertop, and had butcher block made from walnut for either side of my range.

We had an awesome weekend up here in Canada! Sunny on Saturday, not a flake of snow since sometime last week! Oh, um, you maybe didn't want to hear that. Huh, er, never-mind!

The skull spiders, I made myself. I bought $2 "garland" from Dollarama that had these gross grey skulls on something that was supposed to look like rope or something. I cut the Styrofoam heads off the garlands (4 skulls per garland), painted them white and used the pipe cleaners (also from...

Sorry, a bit late to the party, but "Holy crap, that looks soooo much better!" The squirrel may have been a jerk, but look what he showed you. That looks great with the rafters exposed again. I've just completed a back porch to my place, trying to look craftsman style, so I am a big fan of...
