Blue Pearl Granite Countertops...FINALLY!!!

9 years ago

I have been dreaming of Blue Pearl Granite countertops for 8 1/2 years and I finally got them! I fretted over a backsplash but was able to find a backsplash tile that has Blue Pearl Granite pieces in it and I just got it installed this past weekend. It turned into a 3 month remodel project but I love it and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!!

Lovely! The backsplash and granite together are a very sophisticated look.

If you don't mind a question, what brand is your soap dispenser? DH and I been struggling to find one we both like, and that one looks perfect. Thanks so much!

Flying_C,

Thank you. My favorite spot is the countertop/backsplash/bar area. I love how that look just pops. It's the first thing I see when I come in from the garage.

It's an Artisan FA-002-SN Soap and Lotion Dispenser in Satin Nickel finish. I purchased it from Amazon.

It looks really good and coordinates so well with your cabinet stain. Lucky you having a mom who can help decorate and make a valance.

I've been eyeing exactly that tile for an accent strip in my tentatively chosen blue pearl vanity top bathroom! The combination really looks great! Nice!!

you will love blue pearl, it is bullet proof. I had it in one of my homes, and bought cool fluorescent under cabinet lights which brought out the iridescent blue chunks at night.

Yay! Love it! I like the black sink with it.

We also have blue pearl. I agree with the PP, blue pearl is bulletproof.

Detroit_Burb,

I've been thinking about under cabinet lighting now that the backsplash is up and things look a little darker than I expected. Do you remember the flourescent lighting you went with that you liked? And, how hard/intrusive was it to install?

Thank you in advance!
