Almost done!

The granite guy was here today to measure for the kitchen countertops.   He saw the kitchen and declared it "almost done!"   For the granite fabrication, I'm going with Richstone Granite and Marble in Springfield, Virginia.

The turnaround on the granite is apparently three to five days, so by next week we should have countertops sitting on these cabinets.

See the fireplace on the left? Since it's so close, I'm having the fireplace surround replaced with the same granite as in the kitchen. 

Here's a better shot of the fireplace.  The surround now is marble, which is nice but totally '80s.   

The plan is to build a new mantle and panels all around the new granite in white - to match the kitchen cabinetry. 

So are we almost done? 

Not quite, but we're getting closer!
