Island... or Continent?

We finally picked the top to our island and got it installed.  We had been wanting to make a nice wood top and after more thought ended up deciding on granite instead.  Then we had to agree on a granite... and of course pay for it.  It's amazing how much time and money has to go into these house projects!  I will say that after all of the time we spend I am always so happy with the end result.  Maybe it's because anything is better than a piece of plywood as my island top ;).  I took off the plywood so you just get the open island look for comparison, sorry. 

It is such a massive island... 12 long feet, it might as well be called a continent!  



Which makes the island top that much larger!  It is seemed down the middle, but it's not obvious.  We wanted something more neutral to not distract from the other counter top  I feel like this one even ties into the dark lines in the back splash... such coordination!  Really though we found a counter top that is a leather type texture, with polish spots ... It's so hard to explain, but it looks fabulous!

Look at all of that seating!  Enough room for 6 kids!
