Granite Counter Top Template
In my last post on Granite Counter Tops I mentioned that you should phone the Granite company and see if they have any left over granite that you could use to make your counter top. What I didn’t mention is that you should create a template of your needed granite counter, cut to size and shape.BUT, even though this should make life SO much easier, it doesn’t help if the Granite Counter manufaturer doesn’t follow the template. I’ve just received my new counter top, and luckily the granite piece matches the rest of the granite counters in the kitchen, but it’s 40...
Read MoreGranite Counter Tops
I recently had a new counter added into my kitchen. Not a big deal, except I’m “lucky” enough to have granite kitchen counter tops. They came standard with the house we bought.BUT, there are some downfalls to this. The major one being, if you need to add a new granite counter top to the kitchen, or anywhere else in the house, for that matter, you will have to try and match the granite pattern as closely as possible.

BELIEVE me, from personal experience, you would be amazed at how many people will compliment you on a nice bin.It was actually a topic of conversation at a dinner party once, and on 2 seperate occasions I’ve had people offer to empty my trash can JUST to see how it works… Now if THAT’s not a good reason to get a cool trash can, I don’t know what is.

An example of this is the kitchen. A lot of people are wanting to redecorate the kitchen. Cooking is the new Rock’n'Roll, and the Kitchen is the stage. With Rock Stars (should that be “wok” stars???) like Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson and the lot, people are really starting to get in on the fun.If you have a house with an old fashioned kitchen, don’t throw everything out just to bring in the new. Sometimes the old is really the new in fashion. Fix everything up, give your kitchen a splash of paint, and emphasize the retro look in your kitchen decor. If you get this...
