Today we went to a granite warehouse in S.Carolina to pick out the granite slabs we will use for our countertops.
We decided we wanted the granite countertops to look like the various types of granite we have on our house site, many tons of which we excavated to create the pad for the house. Pictured above are two samples we took with us to the warehouse. We wanted a slab that had both the rust colored and black/gray/white mix we see so much of on our lot. We also took a kitchen cabinet front sample (which the rocks are sitting on) to make sure the cabinet color would go well with the granite colors.
We finally settled on the slab pictured above. Actually, we will need 2 or 3 of these size slabs. The granite comes from Brazil. The picture was taken under florescent light and doesn't really do justice to the natural beauty of the granite. If you click on the photo, you'll get a blown up view that better shows the graining in the slab.
