Tile Counter top

[???]

I was in the local home improvement store and they have some very nice Marble and granite 12"x12" tiles and bull nose tiles. I was thinking this would look very nice as a counter top. I could skuff up the existing counter put the tile over and have a granite counter top at a fraction of the cost, plus I could do it myself! If I do this, could I but the tiles together and have a minumal grout joint, or would I be better off leaving it at the standard gout joint? Or would I be better off forgetting the idea? Also, if I do this, should I use sanded or unsanded grout?

Thanks

You might wander around here a little:

Much thinner, much easier to work. If it makes a floor, , , , , No, I have not used it for a countertop, but I'm thinking hard about it.

If you do end up doing it have a standard joint (~1/8 or so) with UNsanded grout. Sanded grout is for larger joints. Use lots of grout sealer when the grout has set.
