The Granite is in!!!!!!

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays Granite layers from the swift completion of their appointed duties! Despite the looming storm touted to be of "Historic" proportions up to 20” were predicted, our Granite professionals appeared. They spent almost 6 hours placing and fabricating huge pieces of granite into their appropriate locations.



What you see in this first photo is our (and in their words, “very unique”) sink! You may or may not notice that the sink is elevated from the height of the general countertop. This sink is 36” wide and about 9” deep, if we were to install it in a “traditional” manor, I would be bent in half trying to do the dishes. So to avoid the need of an on-site chiropractor, we have it installed a bit taller than usual. Now to all of you less than “tall” folks, this doesn’t mean that when you are at our house you will not be put on dish duty! This height is actually a comfortable height for all! Not everyone that has come to the house and seen this are “tall”. In order to accommodate the height and the front farm house look, the granite folks had to fabricate a raised platform that is about 3- 4” tall and spans about 6 inches behind the faucet back to the Log wall. The craftsmanship is really amazing! You have to see it to really appreciate it.
Now, I will draw your attention to the faucet. Isn’t it gorgeous!! Yes you guessed it, I picked it out. I absolutely love this look.



Here in this second photo you see the cook top. Isn’t that nice and “MANLY”! Kenny picked it out. The archway that you see is going to be the stone hearth. I love the gloss and shine of this stone; it is more like a mirror than anything else. Remember this is a bump out. No matter how hard I tried these photos don’t show it but it is incredible.

Here is the Bar sink, isn't it pretty? I love the faucet. Do you see a theme here? I picked the faucets and put a lot of effort into them.

This is the corner between the stove area and the sink. Notice the bump out in the granite. They really did a great job with those.






This is an up-close view of the granite. I love the variations in the stone. There are more interesting sections as well. It is all the same stone and yet so different in some spots.

These photos really don't do the stone justice, you have to come out and see it to really appreciate what a difference it makes in the space. Most of all this stone is a whisper when you look at the kitchen space as a whole but once you are right up on any section, it speaks to you. It truly enhances the space without distracting you from the overall beauty of the kitchen. Can't wait for all of you to come out and see it in person.
