Sorry I missed this, yesterday was a big DIY labor day for me, and I crashed about 7:00 pm. I really need to figure out how to follow threads, I miss so much at times. But, enough about me....
FREE Granite! GO girlfriend! I love the new tile, the Lipari by noble tile. Is the star going to be inlaid in the granite? If so, I would do the table in light granite with the star in a darker granite, elbows go on the outside. I would look for a light granite close to the Lipari tile color, with darker flecks, similar to your coping color, for the table part, and granite the color of your coping with lighter flecks for the star. I think the star one might be harder to find, but you could also go for one with marbling in a lighter tone. How big is the table going to be, and how big is the star going to be?
