Do you all think I'm crazy not to be picking my slab? The company I'm using has a slab yard in Manassas, which is two hours away from here. I was going to stop by on my way home from a business trip, but my schedule was too tight. If I wasn't trying to slowly separate myself from this place, I'd be all over this.
One decision I had to make (and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this) was about the back splash. Currently, the laminate counters have back splashes that go about four inches up the wall...
In my forever home, I'd probably want the counters to end at the wall, not extend up it. I'd install some tile on the walls between the counters and the cabinets. However, with outlets all over the place and my magnetic spice racks taking up one wall in the kitchen, I decided that I would duplicate what was done already and have a "poor man's" back splash installed.
Pre-paint, but you can see the spice racks here
I'm going to the granite place today to sign the contract and make my deposit. I can still change the back splash part...do you think I should?
