Phew, I was really hoping that would be the type of response we got. It's our first house and we're desperate to get things right despite us being noobs to the process.

On the caulking point, since there aren't gaps and it's moreso a "curve", would we just apply the caulking to one section? We do have a contractor who we'll ask to do it, but just want to make sure I fully understand.

Doug - What is making this so obvious is the fact that the counter top is almost white and your wall is a very dark color, that high level of contrast is making it look more obvious. If it really bugs you then have the contractor mud the wall a bit to get rid of the wonkiness.

Karen, that wall (that is joined with the countertop/peninsula) is already painted, so we weren't planning on painting it again. Sorry if I am misunderstanding your question.

Much better to have it scribed to the wall with a little curve to it than to have had gaps if it they had cut it straight even though the wall wasn't. There have been lots of posts on here were people are very unhappy because they have various size gaps between the wall and the countertop.

I think you are probably hyper focused on it right now because it's brand new and your kitchen isn't really being lived in yet. To me it looks like a great job by your fabricator and installer. I would bet money that no one will look at your kitchen and think that something is wrong with that installation. I don't see the need for adding any mud to the walls or changing the wall color.

It's pretty much perfect, as far as I can tell from here. If you picked a photo that shows it at its worse...it's good!

Looks good! Like TKAL said, caulk will finish it off nicely. BTW, what wall colors did you use? This is a perfect example of how dark colors can work absolutely brilliantly in a not-so-big space. Well done!

HI -- It probably is the wall but even if the stone was cut to the wall you would still see the curvature . The wall needs to be corrected to fit the stone . That wall should have been checked for level before the stone was measured . Or have more counter material cut for a small trim piece like a back splash . Only other solution is to live with it ...it looks fine ....maybe set some decor items there to hide it .

Hi Sammy, we used Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore. We originally were going to do a dark gray but are so glad we landed on this, especially given how white everything else is (backsplash will be white subway tile too). The stain of the island also seems to get complimented by the blue.

Thanks everyone, definitely reassuring. I think we will leave as-is, as the more I think about it we will probably have something there anyway (napkin holder, a basket, or whatever my wife comes up with).

“I think we will leave as-is,”

Wise decision, my friend. Once you start trying to improve on perfection (which is really the category I’d place that countertop/wall intersection in, and I’m a freakish perfectionist—like Martha Stewart, only moreso), you end up with a real disaster on your hands. :)

looks good to me. don't over think it.

Hi- If someone says they can see it ... then tell them it's their eyes or to stop drinking so much coffee !

It looks great!

I'm not sure he could have gotten it any more perfect. No house is perfectly square. It's your house not him.
