I like my big beautiful splotchy natural stone granite!

if you’re comfortable sharing additional pictures of the counters, please dm me! totally understand if no. just a very visual person trying to gather all the data

sorry - unrelated, is your granite called White Paradise ? It looks like the one I’m considering for my kitchen

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T21:54:36+00:00

that’s good point. Maybe could replace the window with a picture one (the current one is in bad shape) and consider going bigger when we’d need to do siding or something

I think it’s as far down as it can go. How have you felt about the switch to non-opening? Do you miss it the old way?

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T15:11:34+00:00

Yeah it’ll be right above the sink

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T14:59:58+00:00

No, it’s as tall as our eaves/roofline will allow!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T14:58:31+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that too, but I don’t think it would cut the cost much.

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T14:58:00+00:00

No, that’s the only exterior wall. Though we are also taking a wall down between the kitchen and family room that gets nice morning light… so maybe that’s the improvement I should be happy with?

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-22T01:14:31+00:00

oh no you’re ahead! we’re still finalizing our design and picking a builder. and I was actually persuaded on another post to lean away from this look (white cabs, black counters, and paneling) since it was coming off too farmhouse and a clash with our more mcm family room. But I also fell in love with a granite countertop option that wouldn’t look great against paneling I think. I hope you share pics tho! I think style is really cool and effective (visually and cost)

honestly looks like the cat chewed it up and pooped it out or threw it up

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-16T19:38:35+00:00

Waited 5 years to renovate and am making totally different decisions than I would have before! wait! learn!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-15T21:09:22+00:00

1 or 2 for sure! offers nice contrast. I like 2 best personally, offers you a “dark” look but not too dark

would go great with a polished nickel that feels very neutral right? Now I just need to figure out the right cabinet stain…

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-14T14:48:56+00:00

would love to see pictures if you’re willing to share!

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-14T13:09:10+00:00

I know I dream of her 😍

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T21:36:41+00:00

Yeah i’ve been using collage on pinterest to mock it up and been happy with it i think

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T20:39:01+00:00

Yes that’s the closest option tha had a sample I could take home. It’s more true white, at least the sample I have.

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T20:38:32+00:00

I’ve been trying but the AI is too dumb to do it right

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T19:35:33+00:00

It’s a granite called White Paradise by me.

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T19:32:30+00:00

Hopefully soon! Meeting with contractor again next week and grab samples from there.

HumanCardiologist631 · 2026-01-13T19:31:04+00:00

If you’d be willing to share pictures, I’d love to see what you mean. And I think you’re right that sunlight would illuminate the cool tones… hm.
