Taking it for Granite

Last night, my mom and I trucked on down to the granite place. It's not a showroom. It's not a room at all, actually. It was pretty much entirely outdoors. Big slabs of granite and marble just leaning against buildings and each other and in wooden racks. I guess weather really isn't going to hurt rocks so it makes sense, but it was still kinda wacky. Anyway, we struggled mightily to find a piece of granite that matched the granite tile we'd found when we picked our tile and just couldn't do it. There were a number of things that were close, but it became apparent we were trying to match the two granites instead of trying to match the granite with our actual tile. So we shifted gears and started looking for things that looked nothing like our granite tile but that would look awesome with our porcelain tile. We found a very dark piece that's a lot of black and brown. It's stunning and beautiful, and should work perfectly for us. I think, when combined with the dark wood cabinets and the light-colored tile, it will end up looking amazing.

So there you have it. Progress is being made, albeit slowly. Hopefully things will pick up soon, and I'll have exciting new pictures. Thanks for reading!
