We have countertops!!!

14 years ago

Granite was installed today and it was a long one...but it looks great and we are happy. DH just took these photos and not sure if the lighting is great...

We will have running water tomorrow, Yay! Also, rest of the wall cabinets will installed, since we had a couple that needed to sit on top of granite. The perimeter is Ocean Black and the islands are River White. The granite for the bar in the sunroom/family room is recycled from our old kitchen..had fond memories of it and could not justify discarding the nice peninsula piece. Thanks for taking a look!

    They look great and they look fantastic together! I also love the way you combined cabinets. Good luck with the rest.

    Love it! That river white is simply gorgeous!

    Thank you all for the kind words. it is a lot of countertops space (mostly island) which I wanted. The perimeter always seems to get cluttered, so purposfully designed with less surface, just enough for appliance garage, drop zone, the sink and corner zones,and
    additional landing spot for oven.

    mpagmon, yes a total of three sinks, two in kitchen and one at the bar.
    Today faucets and continued electrical/plumbing, cabinetry work. Then floors starting Monday....which will take three days to finish. Ugh!
    We actually have guests tomorrow evening (soccer dads), DH hosts them at few times a year -- grilling on the patio, bourbon, beer, cigars (you know, guy stuff!)

    clarygrace--gorgeous!!! Yay for 3 sinks. That's what we are doing too. I get a lot of this from people:

    "Three sinks? Why?"

    They just don't understand zones....

    Congrats, it looks really great you are almost done.

    Thanks Bee, coming from you it means alot! You were the first person to welcome me to GW and I admire all you do! You have a great eye for design and beauty and I can't wait to see your kitchen done as well. We're just about at the same stage...the last couple of weeks until we are done and I am so excited to start using this space for family and friends!

    You will have a wonderful time decorating a whole new house!!!

    ...and I get , "why do you need 3 faucets in your MBR?"

    Your floors look gorgeous with your counters. What a beautiful kitchen you have.

    I'm a kitchen picture vulture, so I'm waiting until yours is finished and more pics are up!

    Just beautiful.

    Very pretty! I love all your colors and isn't natural stone just gorgeous??!!!

  • 14 years ago

    Beautiful countertops! Also, what is the floor tile? It looks very similar to some stone I put in my home, but I'm wondering if it's the same or something different.

  • 14 years ago

    So pretty. 1 sink, 2 sinks, 3 sinks WONDERFUL!!
    Love both granites.

  • 14 years ago

    It looks fantastic! You're getting so close to a finished kitchen! I'd love to see this in daylight too. :)

    Pricklypearcactus, the floor tile is a granite tile, like paradiso, which is on the bar countertop, but with more dark grey tones and some brown tones; it was here when we purchased the home. I like it because it's soo easy to clean. We have a gabbeh persian rug down in the seating area and it makes it much warmer and cozy...the room is about 16' x 20', so it's a lot of tile.

    Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like our choices sofar!
