Granite Heaven

More on the granite shopping trip. It really was a fascinating experience. We went to the yard, really a huge warehouse. We walked through, picked out a few we liked. Then they were hoisted up on special trucks and carried outside so we could see them in the sunlight. That was extremely helpful, as they look different in the light. When we decided on the one we wanted, we went back in and they pulled up each individual slab so we could reserve the three we liked best out of the whole group of them. I asked for a sample and one of the guys grabbed a hammer and broke off a corner (very sharp and useful as a weapon!) for me. Now all we have to do is give them our fabricator info (and pay them lots of money). It sure is gorgeous stuff, and I felt like I was in a candy store, or, even better, a yarn store. All those amazing colors in combination and incredible textures and patterns. Yummy!
