June 26, 2010 -- Day 296 -- Countertops installed, and we LOVE them


Our countertops are in!!!!!  We chose a granite called Absolute Black.  The finish is a brushed finish.  It's not dull like a chalkboard, but it's not shiny like a 1980s black granite either.  It's got a little bit of texture and feels great under the hand.  The farmhouse sink was a great find and since we bought the floor model, we saved money.  The sink is deep and very big.  It also has a slight curve in the front which looks incredible with the rest of the kitchen.

You can see the texture in the photo above.  The granite is not as gray as it appears in the picture, it's more black with some gray, brown, and blue undertones.

This is the edge of the countertop.  The different colors really show in the edge.

This is where the microwave and oven will go.  We're thrilled with how the countertops turned out, they've become one of our most favorite parts of the house.
