the marble fabricator is installing a window sill over my sink with marble trim underneath supposedly to match my counter tops. When his crew came to install it about three weeks ago, they broke the trim. There is a lot of planing and drilling and noise going on in there and a bit of shouting in Greek- I wish I knew what they were saying. The trim looks a bit grayer than that portion of the counter top but the sill is made of the same slab. Hopefully it won't matter because of the shadow cast by the sill.

This is a nail biter for me-we're expecting about 18 people Monday night for seder. I do have to give the fabricator credit for coming out on a stormy Saturday night for this. But then again it HAS been three weeks.

Don't like the sounds coming from the other room. Will not let DH go in there to spy - I don't want them distracted.

O......K......DH loves it.
I'm having doubts. Because the sill is 4 inches wide, it casts a shadow on the marble on the wall and from the other room, to me it looks like an abyss. Up front and close, it looks great.

I put a bit of our back splash tile under it and it looks less shadowy. Somehow I know if I keep squinting when I look at something, there is something wrong. I don't have a camera but will take a picture with my cell phone after DH retires.

It certainly could be the dreaded "new thing in the kitchen" syndrome. I do like the 4 inch sill because I can put little pots of of herbs on it by the window.

Update, DH does agree that it looks a little cave like under the sill. He suggests that I put "little things like votives" under it. I guess I can just take this as a new design challenge.

I think the problem is the marble adjacent to the back splash tile. I wonder if I can tile right over the marble. I'm afraid if I try to take out the marble piece I may break the sill.
