Granite, Shmanite...I Just Don't Get It

This is the biggest decision making part of the kitchen, I think. Colors of the cabinets were pretty much determined by the big beams in the kitchen...that kind of sets the standard. So...that was pretty easy. Appliances...also easy, mainly because it doesn't really matter to me. My biggest issue, as we all know, was getting that copper sink. We did and the rest of it is not such a big deal...I can go along with just about anything.

But...we had to decide on color and "flow" of the granite. It's a piece of rock. I don't really care for granite. It's way too shiny for me. I wanted concrete counters...but it's like $100 a linear foot! Go figure...so I lost that one and granite it is. We went out to the granite place and chose something light-ish to kind of match the floor and, if possible, make the kitchen look bigger. Our kitchen is tiny, tiny, tiny....

So...that being explained...here's the granite....

After choosing, the template guy came out and measured everything and I had to go back the next day to decide where they will be making the cuts. They just tape it out and you can see what the actual counters will look like. And, the bathroom vanity will have a matching top, too.

And, at the last minute we got them to add a round tabletop piece for the small table that will be in the sit-in area across from the kitchen...

Now...just wait 10 business days and they will be ready to do the installation. We were really hoping that all would be done by July 4th...looks like we will miss that by a few days!!

I'm kinda excited about getting to the end of all of this so I can talk about something else...right??? Have a great weekend, wherever you are...!
