hi all,
here are partial pictures of my new granite floor. it is not cleaned yet as i am letting it cure for a few days. the bathroom is the same pattern. it is jet black 3" edging and baseboard under the sink and the gray white black speckled on diagonal with 2" blue pearl granite inserts on the corners. the big black areas are where the dinette goes so it will have the same 3" border around the dinette once it is set in. i will post new pictures when it is clean and sealed. it will look alot nicer than, but thought you might be amused to see it mostly done. the dinettes were a green leather but are being reupholstered in a white faux leather now along with the opposing couches. btw, newell said to use the silicon grout matching caulk instead of grout. so all the grouting was done with the tube grout. i was going to do all this myself, but found a great granite guy who did it for a very reasonable price and after watching him spend 20 plus hours on it, it would have taken me 60 hours. so, basically the rest of my natural life....so it was a good thing to have him do it in two days. am putting a dark blue carpet up front and in the bedroom area. i also am putting black edge banding on the corian counters. i have done some and it looks great. it used to have greenish blue laminate edgebanding in the recessed area of the corian counter edge that i scrapped out for hours with a chisle and heat gun and then got custom cut and pre glued edging to go in its place. the bathroom picture shows the new heater in white and the new wallpaper my wife did. the counter also shows the new black edgebanding i just finished.
