Our granite countertops arrived this week and we are extremely pleased with them. We chose a local company, Grani-Bois Concept from Lac Megantic, who gave us an extremely competitive price and excellent service. Marie picked out their San Sebastien, a flecked black, brown, grey and white granite with traces of quartz that provides a subtle and subdued effect that goes well with the dark wood of the cabinets and the kitchen floor tiles. It is mined in Saint-Sebastien de Frontenac, just up the road, only 30 minutes away! Our next step is to finish the plumbing of the sinks, dishwasher and fridge and hook up the propane for the stove and oven. We have already chosen the backsplash mosaic, Silverstone by Mono Serra but as of yet haven't decided on the grout colour. We will be looking at a few choices when we head to Montreal this weekend to see the grandkids. A drive down to Florida later in the month is still planned but with the imminent arrival of the warm weather it will be hard to pack up and leave the peace and quiet of our little spot on the mountain for the madhouse of Interstate 95! gws
