Counter tops!
I can't believe it's finally time for the counter tops!!!! Yay! I have been searching high and low for counter tops that I wanted. My first choice was marble... But I kept looking for a marble look in a different material. Well, come to find out to get granite that looks like marble...it cost twice as much. Corian was also an option that I considered, but again it cost more than actually getting marble. So I ended up at a stone center picking out 2 slabs of carrera marble. I am so happy with the result. It is the exact look I was going for with the other look-a-like materials.
The truck arrived on time...

The first slab they pulled out of the truck went right in place, the second was one of the bigger ones that go on either side of the sink.

Putting the counter tops on the wall cabinets was little challenging. They had to cut into the drywall just a little to get them to fit just right.
