Countertop Is Finally Installed!

15 years ago

My buffet and butler's pantry countertops were installed and I am very pleased. Actually, I am pleased with the choice, but unfortunately, not the installation - nothing that can't be remedied, but it means another delay.

Anyway, the Ubatuba looks really nice with the Santa Cecelia and everybody that visits loves it too! The link below gives a brief explanation of my situation and has pics of the rest of the kitchen.

Hopefully, flooring will go in before Christmas!!! Although, the concrete has sort of been nice since I don't have to worry about every little spill!

It looks beautiful. I love it. When we had the granite put in our bathroom the installers knocked into the drywall and put a near hole in it. Actually it is just a deep depression with the cover of the drywall torn into but we were able to fix it with DW mud. More sanding and painting but it looks great. Murphy's Law something always seem to happen. lol. But I hope your unhappiness with the installer was not too bad. I am happy you got this resolved and I really like that you have two different granites now. Everything is looking great!

It looks lovely both with your cabinets and the Santa Cecilia -- congrats. I always love seeing the "half-circles" in your kitchen and your progress. Keep posting progress pictures please!

Thanks, Gr8day! Nothing ever goes as planned around here it seems, so I've learned to roll with the punches, LOL!

Oldbat2, thank you too! I think you are referring to the arches...;-D As soon as my new venthood arrives (backordered) then we can close up the wall over the cooktop with another arch!!!

I'll post as much progress as I can considering we are just about out of money, LOL!

It does look beautiful! I laughed when you said "nothing ever goes as planned". I absolutely know the feeling! You're getting there though, and I'm told you forget about all the nonsense along the way when it's all done.

Breezy, I sure hope you're right! I am exhausted! On a brighter note, my walk-in pantry is being framed today and if I have time to buy drywall, my sub said that can be finished too! However, as much as I want fancy wood shelves, I am just going to throw up those adjustable Closet-maid brackets with melamine shelving.

Oldbat2be (your name cracks me up!), yes the word is arches, LOL! I probably have arch-overkill, but I don't care because I love them! And I saw your progress pics; your kitchen is going to be beautiful!

I love them too! I have two arched windows (one in the kitchen area) and would like eventually to copy your arched area over the fridge.
