ta da!

i've never had granite counter tops. i tell my clients that they are a good investment in most homes, but never got around to making that investment myself. when we first moved into this house...4 1/2 years ago...can you believe it...anyway....when we first moved into this house i got a bid for granite and it was mucho monzola! the white corian was in good shape, looked nice and was just fine. well this past birthday, my big one, my sisters decided i needed new counter tops. i must have been talking about them too much. so for my present they presented me with money for new granite. with the slow down in the economy the price dropped by nearly half and i got a better grade of granite besides. so.....drum roll please....here's how they look.












i find myself keeping the kitchen just a little cleaner and often sit at the island bar area and just gaze at the beautiful stone. there is good energy from the rock and it is pretty besides.
i have the very best, most generous family in the world! thanks!!!!!!

I can't believe you've been there 4 and a half years! I remember when my best friend Stephanie Shepherd lived there! Oh, the memories!
Congrats on the energetic rock!

Wow it looks amazing, Lib! What a perfect b-day present for the most amazing, generous, selfless aunt! And BTW, I didn't know it was possible to keep your kitchen any cleaner than it already was. :)

Oh Libby! There is no one more deserving of an upgrade. Before I read the end of your post, I thought, "Her counters look so clean." And pretty too.

I can't wait to see them in person.
