Very nice! In my opinion, you just can't go wrong with clean, uncomplicated surfaces. And, ten years from now they will still look exactly that. An owner can always use painted walls and fabric in the kitchen to add color and pattern. Those are easy and inexpensive to change in the future, if desired.
I've never liked granite either - much too busy for my tastes but, I did see two versions I liked in houses of people I know. Both were a subdued, mossy green with light veining atop warm brown, wood cabinets. Quite classic. And in houses of their price points, it made sense to install an upgraded surface.
