Sorry, guys! The granite was installed Friday morning but I had to give my computer to the IT Department Friday afternoon due to a computer problem. Just got it back tonight. So rather than post all the pics and story here, I'll just give you the link to my blog. Remember, my house is still under construction and won't be ready for another month or so. So everything is dusty and dirty and no, I didn't sleep in the kitchen! try_hard Here is a link that might be useful: Try_Hard's blog

Argh - this whole "cut holes in my beautiful granite" thing is very scary! I guess I should figure out which is the main "clean up" sink - we have young kids and had only one sink that was ever used to actually "wash" the dishes b/c it had a disposal. The other was a receptacle for holding while we still cleared the table, etc. If I make the "washing" space on the left in the big sink, with the disposal - then wouldn't the soap need to go over there? Otherwise, I'd have to lift the pot or plate into the smaller sink, get soap, then lift it back over? (I see now why people don't do divided sinks! Ah well...) I can't see doing the primary work of washing, scrubbing, movin' the dishes around in the smaller sink, you know? Maybe this is why people have two disposals? The hot/cold water faucet is for chilled water and an instahot. We went with a fridge that didn't have cold water and ice in the door despite it being a lifelong dream of mine. (wink - but not really a joke. I've dreamed about it since I was a teen at home. We've never even had an automatic ice machine in our freezer - just trays... I can't WAIT!)) so hubby promised I could have chilled water at the sink. I originally wanted it at the prep sink but there isn't a lot of room there, you know? I'm sort of trying to space it out so you could go get a glass of icey cold water or a cup of hot water for tea without slamming into the soap, you know? Thanks for your thoughts - I think the more complicating thing too is that curve of the second sink being shorter on the right - that's where the faucets etc are supposed to go, I think...?

Such a beautiful kitchen! Love, love, love your granite. The movement in it is great. So pretty! Your kitchen layout is similar to mine (yours is a smidge bigger). However, I just could get a glimpse of what my kitchen will look like in hopefully a month or so. Thank you! You helped me visualize! Right down to the flor. light box being removed. Can't wait. Now I am getting excited! Love your door handles. Who makes them?

How did it go?? Pictures? I was more than ticked off because I'm nervous about this. It took us two months and many, many visits to granite yards to find a slab we both liked. Now it looks like boss may be out tomorrow and my 2 male coworkers are going to cover for me if I go in late.
