OMG, countertops. We have granite!

They look absolutely spectacular.

And the comments that the island is long enough to land a 747 on are calumny.

Seriously, it's gigantic. I mean. Really big. I love it.



Before.



After.

A few closeups of the various bits of countertops...





I have to say... it was impressive to see them bring that monster slab in... I mean, we're talking about 1000lbs of granite! It took a while, and I think everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they were done!



I will need to find a name for the island, since if I don't I fear dh's "deck of an air craft carrier" might stick. Heh.

The granite is beautiful.

I'm trying to think of something like "Discworld". Since they're rectangular instead of round, maybe Bizarro Discworld.

Ever since you told me about the slight slope to the giant island I've thought of it as the ski slope.

Lovely! And hey, I have those same drawer pulls and door handles! Although mine also come in shades of brown and yellow... :^0

[and have been updated more than once in the, um, 9? 10? years since DH & his dad made and installed the cabinets... although to be fair, it was at least 1 year later before the drawer fronts went on]
