They say good things comes to those who wait! Indeed! Today, after a long and arduous search, I have finally installed countertops in my apartment. After a recommendation from my super-awesome neighbor, I went to a local granite and tile shop to inquire about a stone surface. They had so much stone to choose from!
I decided on a black stone with some beautiful gray specks. It was actually my second choice as the first stone I like, a black quartz was out of stock. I am so very glad I went with the second choice. I actually like it more than the other!
They came today to install. It took 5 workers to carry the stone up the two flights of stairs and get it installed on the cabinets. That stone was HEAVY! I have to admit, these people work really really hard. Luckily, all of my cabinets were already level (as the kitchen is brand new!) and little prep work was needed.
In all, it took less than 45 minutes to install countertops and sink and clean up. I was very impressed by the workers and will definitely be recommending this place to other stone seekers. Add to the fact that the stone was incredibly well-priced and I am a happy camper!! Check out the pics below.
The next steps are to install remaining appliances, install backsplash, repair and refinish floors, paint and I am ready to move in! It's all coming together quite nicely!
I'll keep you posted!!
