We Have Slabs

Goodness this took so many trips to Seattle to figure out and is a relief to check it off our list!  We'd chosen a granite months ago, but the current inventory was very brown/gold, so we had to start over.  But we'd already chosen a sink color and backsplash tile, so the new counter had to work with both.  Templating for the countertops happens 2 weeks from today, and the fabricator needs the slabs in their shop in Woodinville by that date, so we were running out of time to make a decision. Pressure!

This is a polished quartzite, very durable.  It will be in the kitchen, office nook, laundry, and a downstairs bath.  We opted to go with this in the laundry and bath instead of the limestone we'd put on hold last week because it's a tougher material and better color for those cabinets.    These 4 slabs aren't sequential, but the coloring works and it looks great with our cabinets and backsplash tile.  Done!
