I was looking through some old pictures and realized I hadn’t posted about the granite being installed.
We have done everything ourselves in our kitchen remodel except installing the granite.
Thankfully, we know know a guy!
The naked counters. How I did not like the wood…it made rolling biscuits very hard. (wink!)
The bare sink…or place will the sink will go.
The utensils….
We had to brace the counter….I cut the wood. I feel so grown-up using a miter-saw.
Our first piece… 
So pretty and very neutral! I love neutral!!!
Our beloved sink…
My very tired hubs…and our sweet granite man – J. 
J and my hubs worked well together…
They gave me granite! I’m in love with it!!!
My precious precious sink! (
We love our bar area….can’t wait to put up the backsplash! Living in an remodel with 5 kids is no easy task…it makes decorating very hard!
Don’t look at the brown bananas…they are really not there.
They are now banana bread…the yummiest banana bread ever!
Look at the chess game on the pretty granite.
It makes me happy!!!
So if you want to know how to install granite – hire someone! (wink!)

Blessings to you! You are loved!!!
My husband used to work with his father who is a contractor, so he technically knows how to do all of these types of projects…finding the time to actually accomplish them, that is another thing entirely! I am going to pass on your idea of hiring someone 😀
Lol! We might need to “borrow” your husband! Although, for our newest kitchen (#DIYplus5) we are seriously looking a concrete counter tops. AND my husband thinks we can do them without hiring someone…shiver. 😉
That must have been a huge undertaking, but it turned out beautifully! We’ve done several home improvement projects, but we haven’t tackled granite yet.
I loved this granite! It instantly transformed the entire kitchen, worth every penny.
Hire someone is the right answer. Turned out gorgeous!!!
I am drooling over you sink.
Me too! Every kitchen should have such a large and fun sink!
Wow Lana!! That looks so gorgeous! I really, really love your precious sink 🙂 I know you are thrilled to see it all come together.
I feel the excitement coming through the screen! Honestly – I feel like crying a yippee!! The counters (we call them worktops!) look wonderful. Oh, how you must be itching to get working in that kitchen once it’s all done.
Keep us posted on progress. I’ve kinda been through it all, so I’m with you all the way
Love, Anne x
Worktops is the truth! I used those counters more than anywhere else in the house!
Thank you!
