Marietta Kitchen with Double Islands in Fantasy Brown Hard Marble

This Marietta kitchen makes a statement with two expansive islands, wrapped in Fantasy Brown Hard Marble with a leathered finish. The leathered texture enhances the stone’s natural movement, softens the look, and adds a tactile quality that feels both refined and inviting. Matching slabs for this project was no small task—the Fantasy Brown bundle had strong variation, and our team carefully selected each piece to create a harmonious flow across the long spans.

The perimeter countertops feature Brunello Quartz by Element, sourced from our friends at Stone Showcase, offering durability and a clean contrast to the marble’s organic veining. A Ruvati workstation sink brings professional-level functionality to the layout, while thoughtful design details—woven bar stools, brass hardware, and a custom wood vent hood—give this kitchen timeless character. This dual-material approach — pairing dramatic marble islands with durable quartz perimeters — is one of our signature combinations across marble countertops in Atlanta and quartz countertops kitchens.

Why This Design Works

✅ Leathered Fantasy Brown Marble adds depth, texture, and a soft sheen that resists fingerprints.

✅ Dual islands maximize both function and hospitality, creating separate prep and seating zones.

✅ Balanced pairing of dynamic marble and calm quartz delivers visual contrast without overwhelm.

✅ Warm accents (wood, brass, woven textures) prevent the white cabinetry from feeling sterile.

How to Recreate This Look

1️⃣ Select a feature stone with a textured finish to create both visual and tactile interest.

2️⃣ Pair a bold island stone with a durable, neutral perimeter surface for balance.

3️⃣ Incorporate layered textures—natural fibers, warm woods, and metallics—for a cohesive, high-end feel.

Impressive warehouse with a tremendous selection of quartz. They fabricate on site with CNC so expect precision. I came in on Friday, I’m picking up on Monday. Incredibly kind staff to work with! Thank you!

Excellent work and price, I worked with them on a full kitchen and bath remodel for countertops. These guys are professional and easy to work with. Dennis was especially great, enjoyed working with the whole team!

Could not recommend them enough. We were about to call it quits on our kitchen counter replacement until a family member recommended we reached out to Nancy at granite and marble solutions. The first company basically told us to kick rocks and that we couldn’t get countertops without replacing our backsplash and easily doubled the quote of our project and what we were comfortable with. Nancy had so much patience with us and found us a counter that matched what we had found with the other company. The team was so professional and they didn’t even mess up the backsplash. Seriously, use them.

Granite and Marble Solutions is amazing! Wonderful customer service! Great installers! Brendan was so helpful, communicative and helped make our new bathroom beautiful. Highly recommend Granite and Marble Solutions!

I went into six or seven marble places before finding Granite and Marble solutions, so take my word for it - go here first and you will save yourself a lot of time. I was lucky enough to work with Tene, and I can confidently say without her my shower would not have turned out as well as it did. She is so knowledgeable on both the stones/materials, as well as the design side of things, making great suggestions as I explained to her the vision for my bathroom reno. I had no clue what I was doing and she was beyond patient and kind through all my questioning and changes! Granite and Marble Solutions has access to such large inventory, and if you’re looking for smaller projects their remnants section is quite substantial. I will absolutely be using them for all future projects, and cannot recommend them enough!

We absolutely love the look of our updated kitchen. Tene was fabulous to work with and her advice regarding my new countertop and backsplash was absolutely perfect. She communicated with us throughout the entire process and was such a pleasure to work with. I would 100% hire them again.

Even the small jobs are given the utmost attention and care. I needed a new top for my kitchen island and Brendan was so great. I told him I was on a budget, and that I wasn’t looking to fall in love, just keep the price down. He said, “let’s find something you love anyway” and off we went. I found a beautiful piece of quartz that I actually do love and he gave me a great deal on it because it was a remnant slab. He even gave us a military discount, which is awesome! It was great working with the whole team (design, measuring, install, etc). I can’t wait to do my countertops so that I can get back there and work with Brendan and the team again! Thanks for being so great and taking care of my Air Force family!
