Trend Tuesday: Granite Countertops

When my husband and I bought our first house this past February we really wanted granite counter tops.  I hunted and found a great sale at Home Depot and we almost bit the bullet and purchased the granite, but then we chickened out because it was going to be somewhere around $3000 and although at the time we had it, we learned later how quickly money leaks out of your account when you get your first place!  So I searched online, read some blogs and settled on Giani Granite.  I was a bit skeptical at first and I figured it wouldn’t ACTUALLY look like granite, but we had to do something with our counter tops so I figured I’d give it a try for $60.  They turned out pretty great and I’ve had some people fooled into thinking it was actually granite.  I chose the Sicilian Sand and kept it a little bit dark, but there are several colors you can choose from.  If you have a question, leave a comment!

The were dirty dingy cream before so this was a drastic change!
