Comments (1)doesn't it feel great to come under budget? and enjoy it...because the rest costs loads too!...See MoreFinally!! Chose my counter; picked out my marble slab!
Comments (15)Mine is on the diagonal and I can say it does not look busy. The veining is irregular, too, though it mostly flows in one direction. My kitchen has a lot going on and that was one more thing! I fretted over that, but it's fine. I'm sure you've got great fabricators...but I didn't get the warm and fuzzies from mine so I insisted on seeing the templates laid on the stone as they planned to cut them BEFORE they actually cut them. It took 4 visits for them to get it right. I am very glad I made them take that extra step. I was adamant about the fact that I wanted all the flow to go in the same direction across the kitchen. Initially, they had everything laid on the marble every which way. If they had cut it like that, I would have had seams come together like a V and that's not how the stone flows. So it meant jockeying some pieces around. It seemed like an obvious request to me, but they thought I was crazy! You can stand in one corner and look across all perimeters and the islands and see that the veins of the stone all go the same way...not zigzag at seams. You may want the zigzags, however, so be sure you plan it out that way. Plan out your pieces on graph paper and shade in your "pattern." Cut and place your pieces like you want them. That's the only way it will flow the way YOU want. (In fact, I would scale counter cutouts to an 8 x 10 print of the slab and template the print!) I apologize if I'm overstepping my bounds and telling you something you already know! :) You have a gorgeous slab! I really hope you can capture that chunk of veining in the upper lefthand corner (island?)...and I hope you get a counter out of that mid-right to lower middle-running vein. Mmmm. Mmmm. Scrumptious!!...See MoreHoliday Kitchen Cabinets Beware
Comments (29)WOW! I only wish I saw all these comments about Holiday Cabinests 2 plus years ago. My cabinets arrived sort of on time. I think they were a month late. With that said there were a few damages, missing shelves etc. They " "bulider" was Haus Construction/Bob & Colin Lamond of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Their kitchen designer at the time made a royal mistake. They tried to fix it but in trying to fix it a wall and my new wood floors had to be altered, they failed us terribly. After arbritration, which was a win for us monetarily,a lien was awared to the builder so it turned into a law suit, we were awarded financially again however I am trying to "fix" the mess that I was left with. I had dented molding over my hood, they came to replace it and it has markings on it from the factory. They left me with a jar of paint that is not covering the markings. I have shelves that are unfinished. And they worst of it all the cabinests are starting to get stress cracks. Of course we try to settle everything with our builder first. No reply to e-mails and/or text messages and quite frankly I dont trust them to do the right thing. I contacted (Jen Mormelo) the NJ Holiday rep to see if they she could help me. She told me it would be best to work it out with my bulider another words she was not helping me. I called Holiday and explained the situation to no avail. I finally got an e-mail from Lee Miner, he boasted about his years in the business and that he is on the Board of Directors of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. Should I be impressed? I dont think so! I explained the situation, he to was not willing to help us. What happened to customer service? Holiday Cabinet has the worst policy when it comes to the end user. They protect their showrooms....See MoreMy x-mas stuff is up! Let me see your holiday kitchen...
