Countertops delivered!

It's always a really exciting day when the kitchen counter tops are installed. During the trip to the stone yard to select slabs this homeowner was captivated by this truly unusual piece of marble. Though the original plan was to make all the counter tops from black stone, this discovery led to what I think will really make this kitchen an absolute gem! Being predominantly dark it will certainly make sense with the perimeter counter tops, but it's unique coloring and veining will make this island become a great focal point.

The stone slabs can be chosen at any time during the design process, but the final measuring is not done until the cabinet bases are installed. Then the marble company creates their templates, and the stone is cut to size before delivery. Final fitting and necessary alterations are of course done on sight.




This puts the homeowners a huge step forward towards their fast-approaching move-in date.
