It was a lot of work trust me but it was well worth it. We pretty much have a custom kitchen for about 1/2 the price of one thanks to family members and their help.

The installation guys broke a big part of the corner on the granite for the island while taking out of their sprinter so they had to go get a new piece for the island. Thankfully they had more of the same lot in stock so everything matches perfectly.

Thanks! We are really blessed how well it out turned out. Everybody that saw the kitchen and found out that the kitchen was repainted and repainted inside the house was shocked. It looks perfect!

Here is a picture of the slab / island that they broke while unloading. I wasn't going to keep the piece.

Looks great! I do like the natural look of granite that's for sure.

I know we really love the natural look of granite and we are very happy that we went with the Alaskan White.

Looks great! Are you going to do a tile backsplash?

We want to do tile but we have not picked out our backsplash yet. We looked at Home Depot and Lowe's and didn't find anything decent.
