Hey, you never know! If someone could want a grilled cheese sandwich with the Virgin Mary on it, I can't imagine that someone wouldn't want some quartz!
So there was this hunk of something heavy in the corner of the garage. I just thought it was something being used for the project. My son pointed out to me that it's the part of the countertop that they cut out to put the cook top in. So if anybody needs a piece of blue quarts about 2 feet by three feet, let me know. Perhaps somebody will buy it on e-bay.
Hey yeah. Maybe if I'm lucky there will be an image of the shroud of Turin in the counter top.........
Dust from your shoes are leaving shoe marks everywhere. Not sure if I had to do it over again would I pick such a deep, rich color. They look awesome, but I know it will always be a battle to keep them clean. 
And the finishes...antique nickle, satin nickle, oil-rubbed bronze, weathered pewter, venetian bronze...and so on and so on and so on. 
Its enough to drive you batty.
How is everyone doing with their remodeling projects?
Ours is still plodding on. We've got the floors installed and as pretty as they are, I am kicking myself a bit. They're Brazillian Cherry but being that they're a bit on the dark brown/red side, they're showing everything!
Now I'm knee-deep in door knob hunting. Who would have thought there were so many types and styles of door knobs? Since we're doing the basement, we have to carry the style throughout the rest of the house (gotta change those bright brass knobs!). We have to take out a small loan to do this as I think I've counted over 50 knobs.
I woudl love to reaplce all of those yucky doorknobs. i woudl prefer to replace all of the cheapy hollow doors though first.
I want these doors throughout.
Do you have plans to change the doors soon? Remember, changing doors lead to sometimes changing moldings! Next thing you know, you're retrimming the whole house.
Mickeysgal - We're still in the process of changing our knobs out to brushed nickel, and we've been in the process of doing it for over a year now.
) but a guy from an online hardware store yesterday told me that it has a greenish cast to the coloring? It could be just the brand he was referring to (Weslock). Do your knobs have a greenish cast to them?
I can't believe I'm falling for all of this hardware stuff - so much that I'm going to a Baldwin "showroom" today (aka - get the checkbook out). I have to see all these metal colors all together.
I was all set to go with the satin nickel (I assume its the same as brushed nickel
