Granite and Backsplash are in!

18 years ago

My granite and backsplash were installed today! I'm so happy how my kitchen is coming out and wanted to share with everyone. Granite was install this morning and then backsplash was installed this afternoon. The backsplash still has to be grouted tomorrow. My sink also will be hooked up tomorrow and my stove will be plugged in. I still have the cardboard covering my floor since the work is not completely done. Some window molding also has to be installed tomorrow. My GC said that everything should be wrapped up by tomorrow.

I can't believe how fast and wonderful everything has been going. The only hitch is very minor. My refrigerator ice maker is working fine, but my water dispenser is not dispensing water. I THINK the water line in the refrig may be frozen.

I'll post final pics when everything is complete, but here's the latest photos:

bbtondo,
That turned out really nice. The granite and backsplash look great together and with your cabinets look so warm and sunny. You will enjoy being in this happy space :)

VERY NICE! I always love white kitchens. I wanted a big change and had a hard time deciding if I wanted to go white or very dark. I guess my next kitchen will have to have cabinets like yours! :)

Thank you everyone for your kind words! As I left the house this morning the backsplash was grouted and my sink is being hooked up. All's that's left to do is for them to plug in my stove! I'm so happy how everything came out.

My faucet is the Delta Allora pulldown faucet. I'll let you know how I like it when I use it tonight!

The floor that we DIY'd is Pergo American Cottage from Lowe's.

I'll take final pictures when the cardboard is off the floor and my table is set up!

I'll also give a list of the details.

I can't thank everyone here enough for the MANY things I've learned. It's really payed off for me.
