Alabama marble installed

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

First off, thanks to Allison for sharing about Alabama marble:).

DH & I were able to visit them in B’ham & see the stones in person. I got totally overwhelmed & gave DH full decision of the slabs 🥺. Decision fatigue, for sure! And he’s the main cook, get him invested so maybe he will straighten up his messy cooking ways!!

They will ship & even fabricate long distance, but I adore the guy I’ve used in previous houses. He volunteered to go pick it up- saving me $900 on their shipping quote.

Kitchen is NOT finished, but I definitely had a moment when I saw it installed ❤️ I couldn’t watch the island install 120 x60 slab.

Still in renovation he!! but seeing some light at the end of the tunnel 🤞

      Oh goodness, I am a huge fan, of course, of Alabama marble, and yours is stunning. I’m sure you are over the moon to see it installed.

      Swoon. I used Sylacauga, AL marble subway tiles in a kitchen redo in 2006 (?). I loved them.

      oooo la la!!!!! That is stunning!

      Gorgeous-- love it!

    • 5 years ago

      I don't think I've seen marble like that before. I love how allt he grey works with your cab color in the butler's pantry. Gorgeous!

    • 5 years ago

      I’ve been wondering how things were coming along, @Peppapoodle. I’m so glad you checked in with those gorgeous pictures!!! DD is going to be re-doing her kitchen in the next year or so. I’ll have to show her those!

    • 5 years ago

      Did you end up getting Creme Extra?

    • 5 years ago

      Gorgeous stone!

    • 5 years ago

      Thank you all!! It’s covered w paper until we finish the kitchen, so it’ll be like a surprise again when we finish!


      Allison, it’s the Alabama Rose. DH actually liked the pink tones. He wanted way more movement, I wanted the more subdued Creme Extra- so this was a compromise.

      I thought you had mentioned Rose for the laundry room or pantry, but could not see any pink tones in the photos. I was in my neighbor's house a few days ago. She has honed Alabama marble in her kitchen - counter along wall, backsplash, walls at each end of counter run, island counter and island ends. The ends have a panel detail. It's 35yo now and heavily used (you could hardly see the counter for things), so it now has a lovely patina.

      Gorgeous! Love the butler's pantry :) Please keep the pictures a-coming!

    • 5 years ago

      Stunning marble! I am in love. Your kitchen is so beautiful. Can not wait for more pics!
