Hi JB - Here's a link to my marble splash and also alku's. When I get a chance I'll post pics of the whole shebang. I feel very undeserving of the attention. Based on cost, my kitchen is the country cousin of kitchens posted here!

Here is a link that might be useful: Honed marble backsplash

Dee,
Can I ask one more question about your Honed Virginia Mist? How would you rank it in price compared to other granites. Was it in the medium range or high range in price? Did it come honed from the supplier or did your fabricator hone the slabs? Did it cost extra to have it honed? Sorry, guess that is three questions!

Thanks,

Hi JB,

I'd say it was a medium priced granite. I think it worked out to be between $70 and $80 per square foot. That was with everything - cutouts, undermount, honed, etc. I didn't get a fancy edge.

My supplier and fabricator were the same folks. They orderd the slabs and fabricated.

I'm not sure if it was extra to have it honed. I never wanted polished granite so I didn't even ask if there was a difference.

Good luck in your granite search!

Dee
