Kitchen Granite

We got the granite installed.  I wanted to do something a little bit different, but I also don't want to spend a ton of money.  We basically decided on black pearl for our perimter counters, and venetian gold for the center island.  However when we went to preview our stone, I did not like the venetian gold.

So the rep took us to the remnant section, and we found an amazing stone for the center island.  Typhoon bordeaux.  Basically, all remnant stones are sold at the cheapest price, so we ended up getting the island stone for about half the price it would have been if it wasn't a remant.

And it is amazing, or at least I think so.

Lessons learned:  Shop the remnants!
