The White Kitchen

I have always loved a white kitchen.  When we renovated our house in Chicago 8 years ago, we remodeled the kitchen with white cabinets, a pale green subway tile, and black granite counter tops.  Now that we are building a new home my plans are much the same.  White cabinets with a subway tile back-splash, however the counter tops are now up for debate.  Do I stick with a honed black granite or do I risk it and go with gorgeous white carrara marble??  Here are some pics I am currently using for inspiration...
