See the link below. The second link has lots of info on solid surface countertops of various kinds. Also, you can use tile and lay it yourself if you really need to save money on them. I used bottle cap sized glass ‘coins’ to cover my counters in mosaics. Consider some countertops made from recycled glass. See the link below.

It is cheaper and doesnt need to be sealed like granite. And you can get in many different colors. I would do a lighter beigeish color for the counter. Wall color could go darker because your cabinets are white. For the floor, I like the stone you chose, but it takes alot of time to install that kind of floor compared to a wood floor. I would change the ceiling light fixture to something more modern. go with quartz. It is cheaper and doesnt need to be sealed like granite. And you can get in many different colors.

I think it would complement your light cabinets and dark floor very well. A tile countertop can also look very modern if you don’t go with the brick flooring. You can also customize the colors. As for accessories, I like circle mirrors in the kitchen: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/2605/a52893.jpg Good luck on your project. I would go with an icestone or lighter quartz.
