Let me wipe the dust off my laptop before I type....Good gravy!

this little bench sits in my bedroom....upstairs! hello....should have shut the doors, not sure that would have helped much?
|
The tile is finally removed. After 3 days of back-breaking labor....
 |
this is one big-ass tool (i can say that, right?)
|
On Tuesday I took a little trip to a granite warehouse. I had a sample of granite that I had really liked, so when I went there I had an idea as to what I wanted. Well, turns out the sample I had and the slabs of this particular granite were way different. The slabs had a lot of yellow in them and that isn't what I wanted. So, I went up and down a few rows and came across this one....I love it! "Ipanema White". Not sure the photos do it justice.

| this is it! |
 |
| big warehouse, not as cool as the work shop at the cabinet maker but still pretty neat! |
The colors are creamy whites, grey, brown, a little sage green....super pretty, I think. :) It's kind of a stressful decision to have to make though, not a cheap purchase and one that you really need to know for sure. But I think I made the right choice!
Here is the progress after day 3...
