Crema Bordeaux Granite with Tile Backsplash

This kitchen is done in Crema Bordeaux granite with a 3cm soft chiseled edge. This was a remodel, and the customer wanted to keep the beautiful existing tile backsplash. The removal crew carefully removed the existing tops, being careful to cut away at the tile backsplash. They measured carefully for heights for the installation of the granite.

When the granite was installed it lined up perfectly with with existing tile backsplash! The finishing touch of sanded caulk made the tile look like it was installed just for this kitchen!

Simply Perfection!

The large single bowl stainless steel sink is also a nice added touch to this kitchen. Single bowl sinks are great for large pans and dishes. They are becoming very popular. It adds beautifully to this kitchen.

Crema Bordeaux granite has soft creams and reds in the stone that blend beautifully with the Southern Utah landscape. Bringing this stone into the home adds a feel of nature and peace to the decor of the homes interior. The feel was exactly what this customer was looking for.

Lapidus Kitchen Remodel

This first picture was the kitchen before the remodel!

This is after the remodel! These pictures were provided by the customer. She is sooo excited with the transformation of what she calls her '80's kitchen to today. She bought all new cabinetry, flooring, and countertops. We did the countertops, of course :-).  The countertops are 3cm Lapidus with a waterfall edge. Lapidus is one of my very favorite granite colors! The colors are all in the browns, and they go with just about everything. Lapidus also has a lot of movement, and is a very fun exotic stone. Worth the extra cost! The sink is an undermount Blanco granite composite sink.

I want to add that she will love the sink! I have had this same Blanco sink at my house for the last 6 years, and I love it as much today as the day I put it in! They are very scratch resistant, stain resistant, and withstand heat up to 536 degrees farenheit!

I would recommend doing a tile backsplash for this kitchen, which I think she is doing. Hopefully I get another picture of the tile splash and I will post it for everyone to see :).
