Kitchen Counters that Mix & Match

In honor of our current kitchen remodel...in which we are patiently awaiting the arrival of our second counter-tops, I bring to you a display of pictures of people who were as adventurous as us and went for more than one surface.

One of the funnest parts of this pay-as-you-go whole house remodel is that we didn't have to make all our decisions at once.  In fact, when we moved in I would have never guessed the counters we picked.  But years of living in and using this kitchen (and perusing Pinterest, to be sure!) helped me hone my preferences and piece together the home that is best for us.

We went as far as these folks did in also using differing cabinet materials, as well.  So what do you think of the two-tone/mix & match trend?
