Does my granite look ok?

6 years ago

My granite was installed today. I decided to do a rounded end instead of squared now I am not sure i am liking it. I saw a display that had it set up this way but it looks different in my kitchen of course. I don’t think there is a thing that can be done either.

    I think what you're seeing is the "squared" corners. A more rounded radius is probably what you wanted?




    Or did you think it would look like this:

    It’s nice. It’s different than what most people usually do, but I like it.

    I think you will be getting compliments on it.

    Since it’s not crucial, live with it for a while.

    Hopefully an expert will chime in with how it can/ should be changed.

    I wasn't really sure what you were asking - but the visuals from tsmjh I think show


    it. In any case, I honestly think your kitchen looks great as it is!

    Is that soapstone...and a soapstone sink?

    Well the sink is matt black firestone clay and the countertops are leathered incognito granite. The reason I thought the countertop looked strange is we had to take 3 inches off the end.. there was supposed to be a 6 inch overhang but we realized at last minute that it would not work. I didnt’t think to have the end squared off at that point. Attached is a photo i got my inspiration from but,

    I thought mine looked weird after the install and was looking for a bit of reassurance that I did not make a mistake.

    I think it looks fine. I wouldn't have questioned it at all had you not mentioned anything. I agree with just living with it for awhile.

    Lol. Thats exactly why i wanted it rounded. I have 6 grandkids.. thought about their heads! Lol

    I love it. Any doubts you are having is just the initial response to change.

    I think it looks nice, but if it turns out you hate it I think it is possible to have it cut and polished in place. Oh what a mess that would make.

    I am a fabricator. Looks fine to me and a lot more interesting than a simple flat end. Enjoy it, you made a good choice.

    I think you will like it more when you are using it. I think you will be happy, less hard corners to bump into. You may even start a new trend! Jazz it up with a funky backsplash.

    There is nothing "off" looking to me, I think it looks very nice and a change from the usual square end. Enjoy your new kitchen!

    I like the rounded end. It looks like extra time was taken to style it.

    I recut, profile, and re-polish stone sink cutouts on site regularly. There is no dust, and with the exception of an occasional stray footprint, there is no mess. This wouldn't be much different.

    I love that rounded end - too round would be icky - yours is PERFECT!

    Personally, I think you might be questioning your decision because everything else in the area looks very linear. You are in luck! You could make everything tie in beautifully with the right backsplash. I am posting venetian italia from Emser Tile that I think would be absolutely Stunning. The non-linear stones relate more to the curve and colors used on other surfaces, and would still look great with your linear lines.

    Thats gorgeous! unfortunately out of my price range darnit. I am trying to stay 8.99 and under per square foot!

    I like it. Also if you have youngish kids you might save some banged foreheads. Or seniors’ hip bones.

    I like it and I also like it better than your initial inspiration. Yours looks better without the beveled edge.

    It looks wonderfully custom. Great choice!

    I like it quite a bit. It's not only a subtle, aesthetic touch, but probably will lead to fewer bruised hips than right-angled corners. I'd be happy to have it in my next kitchen remodel. Thanks for the idea!
