The process of choosing our granite was enjoyable! We went to a couple of granite warehouses and after looking at tons of different slabs, we took home some samples and finally decided to go with "tahoe". It's pretty normal looking, but I liked it because it's so uniform.
Because we bought the entire slab, we decided to also switch out our fireplace with the same granite. I had never considered doing the fireplace, but I absolutely LOVE the result! We LOVED the people who did our granite (shout out to CTR Granite), so if you ever need a referral, definitely let us know :) Anyway, on to the before and after photos!!
Our kitchen pre-upgrades. Original cabinets and a really plain counter top.
Prepping to put in the glass tile back splash ourselves...
After the tile was laid and before we grouted:
The finished product! We plan on eventually replacing the wood knobs with silver, more modern knobs :)
Before we did the fireplace, we had this dirty, green glass tile.
I LOVE the glass back splash tile! I find your comment "one project always leads to more projects" so true that, in fact, I cannot get started on one project because something else has to be done before that. And before that, something else. And on. And on. And on.
