With samples of our new cabinets, back splash & tile floor we left the house at 10 am this morning to find our perfect granite top......little did we expect to find so many that were "perfect" for us. We went to N&S granite , found one that was beautiful & matched everything , but after they gave us the price $6300.00 we left without buying it. On to the next store ...we waited for our turn to be taken to the back yard where all the granite & marble was on display , but after 1/2 an hour we left . Too long to wait when we had stuff to do .We stumbled onto a "granite Depot" up by the Tri-County Mall , found what we were looking for & priced at $3600.00 , that includes sealing , measuring, delivery , cutting edges & sink hole for under mounted sink & polishing . They sent us to their warehouse about a mile down the road where they had row after row of huge slabs of granite . We felt like it was Easter morning & we were looking into our baskets (LOL) . The name of the slabs (2) we chose is "Tusken Sunset" from Italy . It has different shades of brown , cinnamon & grey with little whisps of cream & white scattered thru-out. Our back splash is tiny 1/2 inch squares of cinnamon, grey & clear & white glass . Our floor tiles are cinnamon & grey . So all the colors match & look awsome together. Can not wait till the new pecan  cabinets are delivered so the granite guy can come & measure for the cuts . We arrived back home at 6:30 pm , that's 8 &1/2 hours looking , we spent an hour at the 1st place , 1/2 hour at the 2nd place , except for 45 minutes drive time there & one hour drive time back the rest of the day was spent at the last granite depot selecting our color ...trust me this was not a quick choice . Sooo many colors & designs to pick thru . I was worn out by the time we got home , so it's early to bed tonight. I will post pics of the before & after as soon as possible....have a great Easter . 4951
Why cant shopping be like in the movie Seconhand Lions. Where they bring the merchandise to you. If you don't like it then you flash your shotgun and they leave! Haha! 4951
I had love to see the colors of the granite slabs and how they look finally when installed as I am also planning to get similar kind of material and slabs for my home decor. 4951
