Granite for the New House

As we are narrowing down our list....the 62+ list of tweaks and changes, we were considering spending a little extra on the granite countertops over the regular builder granite that comes with the plan.  There was one I really loved but started seeing it in recent homes and it looked totally different.  I know granite is a natural product and does vary, but this change was HUGE.  EngineerHubby flipped when he saw it in one home so we knew we had to look at other options.

Once we were doing that, I told him if I am going to pay for different granite, I want it to be "lay my head down and love it" kind of granite....so we spent this week looking at options.

Today, we found it.  Every slab I found I squealed with excitement and I also knew it every time I saw it (in one huge showroom, it was all over the place and I nailed it ever time.)  I have NO doubts on this and am so excited.   Lucky for me, EngineerHubby loved it too!

Yellow River is the color name...and the slabs we chose have a bit more gray ....I LOVE the deep veining.....wanted something with a little personality.  When we walked in the showroom today, this granite was highlighted in a huge (16 foot?) slab across the entry wall...GORGEOUS.
