Absolutely gorgeous - looking forward to seeing more as you progress!

Wow, that's a fine looking rock! You must be so excited. Your kitchen is coming out beautifully. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your new island.
Barb

how large is your island? i am planning one that will be 8' long, alomost 9' with the overhang on one end for a stool.

SS - love your countertop. What is it?

Thanks!

Beautiful piece of quartz you have there! What a warm and inviting kitchen you are going to have!

Sandy

Absolutely beautiful quartz. It looks great with your cabinet choice, which is also beautiful!

Enjoy Thanksgiving!

You're kitchen is going to be amazing! I bet you can't wait to get it done. It is beautiful and I love the island quartz.

Teppy, the island is about 8.5 feet long and about 54" wide at the widest part of the overhang. The doors open to shelves for storage. We have another opening like the one you can see on end but it has a file cabinet under it. "We" are looking barstools now. the big question is "backs" or "no backs" Does anyone have problems with the backs hitting the counter top and damaging them>

Salmon_slayer,

(Are you in the PNW?)

LOve that counter! So, by quartz- is that the only name for it? There's not anything else?

We have backs on our bar stools, but they don't swivel, so no problem hitting the counter. We were talked out of swivel by the furniture dealers. Supposedly only the Chinese are making the swivel mechanism, and here in Canada, anyways, the Canadian manufacturers stay clear of it.

Oh man that is so, so pretty. I love the details on the cabs.

Dang, that's one pretty piece of rock.

More details please on that beautiful quartz. You kitchen is gorgeous! You fabricator was terrific getting your island done before Thanksgiving!

Raehelen: (Are you in the PNW?) Not sure what what that means Pacific Northwest? In any case the house is close to Monterey Calif. It sounds like swivels are not the way to go. Thanks

Lyno: the quartzite was called "white and gold". We wanted something that looked old and different.

Wow, that countertop is amazing - they have something to be very proud of and the cabinets are lovely too!

Steve,

Yup PNW, means Pacific Northwest. (Thought everyone knew that! :>) I live near Vancouver, and the Salmon River runs right by the end of my block - just thought cuz of the name, you might live in this neck of the woods! Forgive my ignorance, but do Salmon run near Monterey too?

That counter & the cabinet color are perfection together! That looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the shape of the island, also; very interesting and pretty.

Raehelen: Yes the Salmon run (or use to) here as well. They go into the San Francisco Bay and up the rivers. Unfortunately the season was eliminated this year due to low fish counts so it left weekends open and proved a good time to refurb the kitchen. I use to enjoy fishing on weekends - hence the name. The kitchen planning took quite a bit longer than I thought. The house we are doing this in is a vacation home and is where we plan to move in a few years....(longer if the stock market stays like this). When we finish the kitchen, it will be time for the decks, windows and master bathroom. If we do not have a fishing season again next year, they will get done then. If we do - then some day. priorities in life.

Absolutely beautiful counters!! I'm glad I didn't see your pics while I was installing my own counters. It would've made me think twice about my own choice!
