Venetian Gold 3cm with Apron sink

This is a beautiful Venetian Gold 3cm granite with a waterfall edge. The colors compliment the white cabinets beautifully. We did a 4" backsplash on the walls to keep the backsplash below the outlets, and then a 6" on the island to make it full high and flow from the bottom to the top! 

This house has a cast iron apron sink which also ties in the white cabinetry and white appliances. I love the dark wood floor, light cabinets and medium color stone. Very lovely, and blends very well. This customer will enjoy this for years to come!

Illumination Series Arctic White Corian Countertops

This bathroom remodel was a lot of fun. Our customer wanted to illuminate her bathroom countertops. She picked the Arctic White from the Illumination Series by Corian. She then picked some fun bright lights to illuminate the tops! This bright pink surround really brightens this bathroom.

Dallas White Granite Flat Polish Edge


Dallas White Granite is fairly new for our area. The requests for it have grown immensely because people are looking more for colors in whites and grays more than creams and golds. This is a great less expensive alternative for a white and gray stone. 

The customers for this kitchen were careful in their cabinet layout. They wanted to make sure that there were no seams in the granite and made the island smaller to make sure that it would not have to be seamed. 

The Dallas White Granite looks great with the white cabinets and the stainless single bowl sink. They picked a flat polish edge which keeps the clean straight line look in this kitchen!

Exodus White Granite


 This was a beautiful kitchen done in Exodus White Granite. This granite has a beautiful blend of whites and grays. It also has a splash of cream and burgundy through it. It looks great with white and brown cabinets. It keeps the room looking fresh and light. The veining through it is dramatic, but not so dramatic that it takes away from other beauty in the room. The client was very pleased with the way this turned out, and so were we!

This is done in a 3cm chiseled edge with a 4" backsplash. It has an undermount 60/40 stainless sink and a cooktop. they also added a small piece in the pantry with the amount that we had left. This was a great use of stone, and a good kitchen layout.

Chiseled Highbar


This was a really fun project! The customer chose a Venetian Gold granite with a large vein of Dallas White Granite going through it. The two tones and the chiseled edge gave this kitchen a rustic appearance. The home was country style with wood window trim. The accent of the stone was incredible! The undermount stainless steel sink also matched nicely with the stainless appliances. Love the variation in the stone!

Full High Granite Backsplash Amorello Ornamental


These are before and after pictures for a fabulous kitchen we did recently! The top picture shows the before. This couple originally put in white tile counter tops, and followed the tile up the walls. For the change, they had a beautiful cream Amorello Ornamental granite (aka Giallo Ornamental) counter top put in with full high granite back splash. They also had windowsills made in the granite to tie in all the back splash.

The cabinets were in good condition, and beautiful, so they chose to keep the cabinets and just replace the tops.

I absolutely love the way it flows!!! As some additional touches, they put in a larger oven/stove combo, and put new handles on all the drawers and cupboard doors. These little additions went a long way in changing and modernizing the look of this kitchen!

This was a fun project to complete, with fun customers to work with!

Amorello Ornamental 4cm Granite





Amorello Ornamental is a soft granite color that really goes with anything. It looks absolutely beautiful in this soft toned kitchen. This customer loves the 4cm edge. Granite comes in 2 sizes, 2cm and 3cm. Most often the 2cm edge is doubled to make a 4cm edge. In inches 4cm is a nominal 1.5" and 3cm is a nominal 1.25". This extra little 1/4 inch can make quite a difference in the look of the thickness.

This kitchen also has a beautiful large stainless farmhouse sink and vegi counter sink. The stainless sinks add to the beauty of the kitchen. These sinks are 15 guage, however, the majority of my customers use 18 guage sinks and are pleased with the results. If you have a little extra money, the lower guage sink is a better quality.
