We got a very similar granite in our new house and it looks great. Just make sure they are sealed well (many installers will do this for you).

Ours had a tooth extraction on Monday so we've been giving her extra love this week. We have two cats that are 17, two that are around 15, and one around 2. The oldest two are definitely struggling more the past few months. As much as it annoys me when I can't find a spot to sleep on my own bed, I know it will feel empty without them when the time comes. :(Hollie @ Stuck on Huehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488173038463058669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-52375250488157738392015-09-30T18:07:42.500-04:002015-09-30T18:07:42.500-04:00Sarah so sorry to hear of your furry family member...Sarah so sorry to hear of your furry family member moving on.

She was such a wonder in our lives, we got her at little over 4 months and both felt she was meant for us. <br />I had a client when I was a senior companion that had a Maine coon cat, he was so sweet and loving. Whenever I'd go to get my client he'd jump on my shoulder, give me loves. Client said he never did that for him. Think animals really know when people love them. He was so cozy to hold with all that fur. <br />Now your counters, I should be jealous but you work so hard in your home you deserve good things for your home. Your granite is indeed gorgeous and from how your post sounds you will enjoy them. <br />Happy weeksrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-39125709091246890002015-09-29T15:33:59.899-04:002015-09-29T15:33:59.899-04:00It makes my heart ache when I hear of a beloved pe...It makes my heart ache when I hear of a beloved pet of so many years passes on.
