Shopping For Granite

We’re having our house custom built and with all new fixtures and furnishings. I told Damsel that she would have the flexibility to select whatever she liked. One of her wishes is to have granite counter tops in the kitchen and both bathrooms.

Our contractor recommended a tile and granite place in Glendale, AZ, so we went there and started the process for the custom granite counter tops. Part of the process is to select the exact slabs of granite to use. To do that, we had to drive a few miles to a place that has a warehouse full of granite slabs.

Damsel and I walked up and down aisles and aisles of the huge slabs looking for the right colors and patterns of the natural granite to suit her taste. Finally, we both liked the slabs pictured above and decided to place the order. Click on the image to enlarge.

The next step is our contractor will furnish the specific dimensions and we will select the finish for the edges of the counter tops. We’re making a lot of progress on the new house this week.
