Kitchen Counters

When we moved in it became quite clear that we would need to redo the kitchen counters. The problem wasn't so much the counters as it was the sink, and the sink was PART of the counters. The previous owners had remodeled the kitchen and put in Corian counters with the sink also Corian and not a separate piece. The sink is a split sink with the side that has the faucet and garbage disposal much smaller than the side we use for a drying rack. It is so much smaller that we can't even fit a plate in it, let alone a pot or pan. So in order to get the sink replaced it just made the most sense to do the counters as well since we would have to cut into them anyway.

We had the job quoted at the end of May, but wanted to let things settle down some more before we moved forward. So this week we finally had enough and the finances look good so we decided to get it scheduled. We are scheduled for the week of August 13th. I went to the granite distributor today and picked out what I wanted:

Its called Tropic Brown and I really liked the contrast it had with our cabinets and I think it will look good against our back splash as well.. As the project gets closer I'll post the before shots. I'm excited to get started! Only a few weeks away!
