New Countertop!
February 7, 2008 at 12:31 pm , by Emily
I mentioned that we were working on installing the new countertop on a section of our kitchen cabinetry last week. Well, the tile job went quickly as did the grouting but then it took another week before hubby put the trim around it. So I can finally share the completed product. I think it looks lovely. As a reminder – one side of our kitchen has a black granite slab for counter as can be seen here
And this is what the other side looked like a few weeks ago – still with really fabulous white plywood. Sexy, right?
And a week or two ago when the project was in full swing
And now – the nearly finished product. I say nearly because while the counter is complete, there is still that pesky opening above the curtain that I am trying to talk hubby into covering but in some astonishing way, it isn’t at the top of his priority list. And because we are about to paint the kitchen, he didn’t bother to clean off his black grouty fingerprints from the wall. So you can still see those even though I tried to cover them up a bit. So here, our $60 black granite counter!
To test the theory that black is slimming, I placed my very favorite little mug that I like to use to make me feel cute and sophisticated. And I must say, she’s looking stunningly svelte there on the new black counter, don’t you think?

Your countertop looks fantastic as does the rest of your kitchen. I am really curious as to the you got such a great deal for the countertop…$60 for granite!?!?! Wow!! If you wouldn’t mind visiting my blog and leaving a comment on how you did this, I would really appreciate it. I have been planning on painting my cabinets white and also having black granite and therefore I am intrigued by how you got your bargain!!

So I have been looking though your decorating posts because I wish that I could decorate my house- but the truth is we leave in less than 6 months so it is not worth it. But I have a suggestion for your random hole (missing drawer I suspect?). I saw on some show where they put a board in the bottom and painted it to match the rest of the kitchen cabinets. Then used a cute silverware holder like wicker or mesh to go in the slot, it kinda creates its own silverware drawer. You could always use it for other kitchen stuff- just thought I would share!
