Thats probably the one thing that i'm not 100% happy about with my house. I'm not a big fan of the benchtop that i chose. I actually wanted a darker colour, but the tile lady kept telling me that as i had the darker doors i had to have a lighter benchtop. *sigh*. oh well. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22766 - my build thread!
