Fabulous transformation guys!!

Great job- really fantastic. A tip for anyone in the process of renovating a bathroom: I used Blake and Taylor chalk paint with a couple of sealer coats to paint a laminex vanity in our bathroom- and it looks great. Easy to apply and looks like a million dollars now. include new knobs from the great range at Paddington Hardware, and you can spend the money you've saved on good tapware.

try snowy mountain quarter........i would suspect it would go with both warm and cool tones..i have in my house after having had both of the other colours that you have mentioned, and the SMQ is just so much more versatile....there are a few discussions about it on this site if you want to do a search

Hi! We are doing similar. 3m island with 40mm benchtop in honed Nero Marquina marble; and 20mm perimeter bench in polished Jet Black granite. I feel the thicker benchtop will allow the island to ‘shine’, and to be honest, just didn’t see the point of continuing that thickness with the perimeter. My sister in law has done the same with her concrete benchtop - 60mm island bench in concrete and 20mm perimeter in white concrete and it beautiful! Good luck with your decision!
