This is the granite that we got for our countertops yesterday. Squee. I went to eight different places to find something I liked - and believe me, finding blue granite is close to impossible. I really wanted blue slate, but that is utterly nonexistent in the South, it seems.

The above colour is actually a discontinued line, which means we got it at about half the usual price (loffly!) and also explains why I couldn't find it anywhere else.

Also found a pretty stone with embedded sea shells to cover the ugly brick in front. Am considering also covering the patio - still unsure on that...

Since I've been asked...
