Holiday Reruns: Absolute Black Granite Kitchen & Carrara Marble Bath

Happy Holidays!  
We hope you are enjoying your holiday season.  We are taking some time off of the blog to recuperate after this fantastically busy season.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are always the busiest time of the year for fabricators, but this year was especially busy!  We are so grateful for the business and we hope it continues strong into the new year. 
We will be posting our favorite projects from 2012 until the new year.  We'll be back with new posts on January 2nd.

 This remodel was one of our most popular posts of the entire year.  It was such a dramatic change in the kitchen that you guys went crazy over it!

I love a good 'Before and After' and I've got a really great one for you today.
This is a kitchen we completed with Tiek Built Homes a few months ago.  Steve Tiek does such a great job and he did it again on this home.  This was quite the transformation!

and After!

I seriously had to go back and forth 10 times between the pictures before I really believed it was the same space. Amazing!

The granite is 2 cm Absolute Black granite with a Honed finish.
The edge detail is a 1 1/2" Miter.  We even did the Mitered edge around the undermount farmhouse sink, this is a lot of work to do the Miter around the sink.  In fact, many fabricators won't do it.  Doesn't it look good though?
We also did the windowsill behind the sink with the Mitered edge.

They did white subway tile on the backsplash and set it in a herringbone pattern above the range.

This really is such a gorgeous kitchen and we're so happy to be a part of it.

*Here's the bath in the same home.  Bath originally posted March 19th.

Last week I posted pictures of an amazing kitchen remodel we did a few months ago.
I had posted a 'Before' picture and I got so many emails about how dramatic the change was.  It's a must-see, so if you missed it, check it out here.
Today I have pictures of the bathroom in this same house.
We did the vanity countertop out of polished Carrara marble.
