Bookmatched Luxury Kitchen Countertop with Full Height Backsplash – Dekton Laurent 2 cm Vein Match Installation | Absolute GM LLC This luxury kitchen countertop installation features Dekton Laurent 2 cm ultra-compact surface with full height backsplash, executed with vein-matched alignment for continuous visual flow and architectural consistency. The natural movement of Dekton Laurent’s dark background and gold veining is carefully oriented and sequenced during fabrication to maintain directional continuity across the countertop surface and vertical backsplash transition. This creates a unified bookmatched appearance where the veining flows seamlessly from horizontal to vertical planes. Precision digital templating and CNC fabrication were used to control slab layout, seam placement, and edge detailing, ensuring tight tolerances and accurate alignment throughout the installation. Special attention was given to the backsplash junction to maintain uninterrupted pattern flow and eliminate visual breaks. Dekton Laurent 2 cm was selected for its durability, stain resistance, and high-end aesthetic performance, making it suitable for modern luxury kitchen environments requiring both strength and refined design execution. Absolute GM LLC provides professional countertop fabrication and installation services across Washington State, specializing in Dekton, porcelain, quartzite, and natural stone systems.

Sometimes the true inspiration for a space come from who the client's really are at heart. The owners of this center-hall colonial just didn't seem to match their house. Oh sure the space was cut up and horrendously decorated, but the true inspiration was the client's love for the horse world and their down-to-earth lifestyle. Immediately, I blew out the walls of a space that was segregated into three little rooms; a dressing room, a vanity/tub room, and a shower/commode room. Using the supply and waste lines locations of the tub I was able to build them a custom shower area that better fit their lifestyle. Jumping on the old shower supply and waste lines, I was able to add a second vanity to this master suite. The real magic came from the use of materials. I didn't want this to come off a "gitchy", over-the-top horse and barn motif but a space that spoke of an earthy naturalness. I chose materials that had a irregular, organic feel and juxtaposed them against a containing grid and strong vertical lines. The palette is intentionally simple so as not to overwhelm the strong saturation of the natural materials. The simplicity of line and the scale of the shapes are all designed to compliment the pungent earthiness of the well-chosen materials. Now they have a room that "feels" like them, but allows them to interpret that as they enjoy the room for years to come!

When it became time for a sorely needed update for this home in central Austin, the owners decided it would be best accomplished in two phases. The most notable change occurred in the kitchen which held the place as the the larger part of phase one. As you can see, the space is very small, with no way for expansion. The use of a very efficient space design by Cindy Black of Hello Kitchen, paired with my European cabinetry served to provide the best use of space.
