I like it!

What a great kitchen!! I definitely like your granite choice from what I can see. Is there any brown in the granite? what granite is it?

The granite is gorgeous but are you sure you want to limit the possible future color changes? That would be my concern.

Thanks! The granite has all sorts of colors and definitely some browns. We decided to go with copper sinks after seeing a prep sink at the granite warehouse with the granite. It was beautiful with the granite. The granite is Madwike.

Oh, NG, your kitchen is beautiful! It is going to be uber beautiful when you get that beautiful stone installed! I can't wait to see it!

That granite is stunning. It would be a crime not to use it!

Gorgeous stone!

make sure you are at home for the templating.. Take the day off, call in sick, but stay home and hover.

Then ask them to call you when the templated are placed over the slabs. Tape them. take photos...

Do not miss any of these steps.
good luck. it is looking stunning already.

Thanks everyone! You've reassured me so much. I will be working from home tomorrow so I will be here and will be very involved. I also already plan to be there for input when they place the templates on the slabs. So exciting that it's finally all starting to be installed. I'm one of those who was supposed to have a kitchen for Christmas...

Nollie that is a GORGEOUS Rock!

Love it and I think you are on track. I can not imagine
a more beautiful piece with a copper sink. You are second
guessing yourself (we all do) but it is going to be
stunning.

I agree with Pharaoh. Try to be at home when templating.
Decide where you want your seams. My installer was able
to match seams to pattern in my granite. It can be done.
And as for hardware.... let me get back to you on that
I want to think about for a little bit. Study your pictures
more. I promise to post a few ideas if Fori, or Plllog or
RemodelFl or another brillant mind has not already.

Do you want ideas for tile? or still thinking about that
too?

Gosh I am just so excited for you. The cabinetry is heavenly!

Your kitchen is done in my kitchen cabinet color and my granite is the same tone. So I love your kitchen! Nice to see your leg posts too. I have a few of those! Really pretty and especially so with your wall color. Hope I get to see finished pictures soon. Love the bookcase. And your island. It is going to look fantastic.

Very nice cabinets. Are they custom?

Thanks boxerpups. I have definitely been second guessing myself on everything! Ideas for tile would be great also. I'm leaning towards a subway shape tile - perhaps in a tumbled travertine or marble... Then something special over the stove, but not a painted mural (even though they are beautiful) because it might clash with any artwork I might want to place on the "mantle".

Maggie - Thanks also. I would love to see pictures of your kitchen!

i think its perfect ... picks up the wall color and island perfectly

and btw i love your island!

My honest opinion? Freakin' gorgeous! Really - beautiful cabs and stone.

re: the pulls: I'm not a huge fan of drop pulls. When I'm pulling open a drawer with one pinky because my hands are gunky, somehow the drop pull doesn't seem as sturdy or something. However, with your cabs a drop pull could be very pretty. You'd want one that has a stopper so it doesn't swing back and touch the cabinet door. (I wouldn't go for drop pulls with a back plate in case you ever want to change your hardware.)

Anyway, the cabs and stone are beautiful. You have done a wonderful job!

Wow! That is a beautiful kitchen! I love your island. The granite is going to look stunning. Please post pics after it is finished.

Nollie- everything looks beautiful...it will look amazing! Can I ask what color is wall paint?

Thanks again everyone. The cabinets are custom. They went heavier than I intended on the glazing, but that's how it goes sometimes.... The paint color is BM Providence Olive. I hope to be posting finished pictures in a month or so!

**The granite is gorgeous but are you sure you want to limit the possible future color changes?**

I don't think it limits them much at all--green goes with a whole lot of colors--and with the exception of pure white and jet black, there's just no such thing as a counter that isn't going to limit your future color changes a little bit.

That granite is gorgeous, I agree.
