House Building - Yellow River Granite Update

I have been waiting and waiting to put up the final post for the gorgeous Yellow River granite but it isn't fully installed yet.  Long story...but I am going crazy...I cannot wait to see it fully in!!   I decided to go ahead and post the photos I do have....family getting impatient....lol.

I am SO happy...it is SO worth the extra money we spent.....

What we are waiting on is the granite to go fully up the backsplash...to the cabinets...and it will "book"...which means the movement will seamlessly continue......  The company is being super cautious....and had to wait for our microwave to be installed to get the exact top cut.....so here we sit...waiting and waiting to get back in their "queue".....  EngineerHubby also requested a few changes, including an 18 inch bar, which will be nice.  (normally get a 16 inch bar).

Overview of Kitchen before blue sticky tape was applied.

Master Bath before blue sticky tape applied.

Upstairs Bathroom.

Main floor full bath.  P.S.  We "downgraded" to chrome throughout the house and will go back in and put in fixtures we choose later on.  Going more "transitional"...I love the look just not the actual installed fixtures at the moment.

Kitchen....long run....seam to the far right.

Love the movement!!

Sink EngineerHubby surprised me with.

Area where seam is...they did an EXCELLENT job....our granite slabs were shallower than normal and one long L-shaped cut was not possible.  So they arranged things so no "river movement" was in this corner.  Hope that makes sense.  You really cannot tell unless you closely.  Do you see the gray river to the lower left..then the corner of the cabinets...and then it continues over by the sink?  Awesome!

Kitchen Island.

Kitchen Island.

I've said all along...if I pay extra for granite, I want it to be so pretty, I want to lay down and cry on it.  Well, I accomplished that.  I just LOVE IT.


Yard was also re-graded and now folks can see we won't need ladders to get in the front door or garage.  lol

 

Tub getting installed.

We have a closet where most people choose to have a drop-off "mudroom" bench...and here is why.  EngineerHubby ran Cat 5 network cable to all rooms and this is where they all terminate...and we can hook up our modem and router and choose what rooms get Internet.    (Disclaimer....I just wrote what I have been told...cannot explain this!)
