If the installed granite is otherwise just right (seams, sink area, etc.), and if you really love the way it looks even if it's not what you picked, it makes sense to offer to make a settlement. They'll probably be happy to settle rather than having to duplicate the effort, and then you don't risk damage from the removal and reinstallation, the chance that the fabrication won't be as good the next time, etc. But if it doesn't make you happy it's worth letting them make you happy! It's hard to tell if "not hate" means that it's fine with you or if it's that it could look a lot worse but it bugs you that it's the wrong one. You're the one who has to live with it. My hearth stones and powder room are Bahia Verde, which the guys at the stone yard said was different from Uba Tuba, but online they say it's the same. I think they were probably differentiating between whether it had the gold or not. Mine has a lot of gold, though it's more flecks than veining. I don't know what your other colors are or whether you're looking for fashion or creativity or what. For a contemporary look, with a medium color cabinet, like natural cherry, I'd go with a light colored backsplash, a warmish (reddish) creamy color, with small accents of bronze (gilded or not), or of the granite, or some other lightly sparkly thing that matches. With light cabinets, I'd do something in a more medium tone and contrast color to the green, like a goldish beige, with or without accents. Either of the above would go with very dark cabinets.

Well I got a new update... As I mentioned previously the bathroom vanities were removed and are back in the shop to correct the edge.. This was before I even had any time to speak with the wife and think about negotiating.. Today I receive a phone call from the project manager.. He tells me that they can enlarge the sink and give us the 24 or the 28 inch sink that has the same width.. The fabricator looked over the specs of the new sinks and both will work.. HOWEVER, with that said I have two options.. Option #1 is to have the fabricator come to the site and do the cut with the granite installed.. Project manager says that the only drawback is that they will have to buff the edge by hand and the finish will not be "as good" as we have now since they do the buffing with a machine at the shop.. Option #2 is to have them take the slab out of the house and bring it back to the shop.. They will do the cut there and use machine to buff the edge.. The exception with option #2 is that if the granite breaks it will not be on the fabricator and I would be responsible.. At this point I flip out on the builder and ask how I am supposed to get a finished product that is less quality then what I would have gotten because they failed to go over the sink size.. The project manager claims again that he did show us the exact sink.. Then goes on to say that they have had to enlarge sinks in the past and no one has ever noticed the difference and that even though its done by hand it still comes out great.. He says that if we go with option 2 and something happens it will cost roughly 2k-3k to replace and said that it would fall on me regardless of the whole issue that they never went over or confirmed sink size.. With that said I am thinking that its not worth the risk of 2-3k to have them take it out.. The builder is obviously taking a strong stance as I assumed they would since granite is an expensive item and not something they can make up for.. So if something goes wrong and it did fall on them its money out of their pocket and not something they can just have their hourly employees fix.. I am thinking of just letting them cut the granite at site and leave it at that.. At this point we have upgraded so many things that our contingency fund is almost depleted and the risk of 2-3k is too high for us.. Has anyone seen site buffed granite? Is it something that will be noticeable compared to what we have seen now?

I realize some people think ovals are "dated." Dated - schmated. Oval sinks are classic, not something that even can be "dated". On the other hand, I would care that the sink shape matches other things in the room. The (navy) Hall Bath sinks are too close to the side walls (another design glitch that should have been considered by the designer, but it's too late to change), The sinks are attractive ... but, yes, they are too close to the edge and will always be somewhat uncomfortable to use; that is a person using them will always have to stand a bit to the side of the sink instead of "straight on" because they're so close to the edge. I have this very problem in my girls' bathroom. They share a ridiculously long 13' vanity with two sinks on the very tippy-tippy ends. Just as I described above, they end up standing "to the side" of their sinks to avoid their arms hitting the wall. Is it the end of the world? Not at all, but it's poor planning. If you could wave a magic wand and have it done, I'd say re-do /go with a single sink and a stack of drawers on each side. However, I don't think that's a choice. The $500 option isn't enough to make up for this mistake. I'd ask for $1000 ... and live with it. Re-doing would mean more time, bringing in more countertop, and in the end, the sinks would be your preferred shape ... but would still be too close to the edge. Your master bath looks beautiful by the way. Yes, it does ... simple and tasteful. The hall bath does too. I am concerned that my retro-looking faucet Okay, I agree with you ... but I think it's a minor issue. The faucets aren't installed yet, right? Why not change the style of the hall bath faucet? In fact, this is a good reason to demand more than a paltry $500 ... you now have to return /choose again. It’s a slippery slope we go down once we allow these kinds of things to slide. You specified oval; they ignored you. Now the onus is on you? Unacceptable. I can't disagree with a single word here. Who's the boss in this situation? It oughta be YOU. What do you think of larger mirrors that are NOT centered over sinks but extend beyond? For the hall bath, I'd go with one big mirror. Why? As I described above, people using these sinks are going to end up standing slightly to the side of the sink to avoid touching the wall ... which means that if they have individual mirrors, they're going to stand looking at the mirror's border, not their own reflection.

I'm sorry @Nermin Rogers, I went back and re-read Joseph's comment, and his wording was a little misleading which made me misunderstand. At first he says the sink is "properly installed," but he is meaning the sink itself. Then he goes on to say in essence that the faucet should have been installed on the deck and that moving it will not allow any type of inconspicuous patching. I got sidetracked by the "properly installed" statement. You can see at the link he provided that the deck is labeled a "faucet deck" here: https://www.karran.com/product/hampton So, that takes us back to the fact that your installers messed up. A new countertop should be their responsibility to fund and replace. This is the time to switch sinks if you aren't happy.
