Wow that is a nice looking kitchen. What wood are the cabnets made from?

As for counter tops my wife and I have been looking for a little while. We started looking at solid surface but my wife wanted something a little dark. The dark solid surface shows scratches and is not resistant to heat. The mold in sink is sweet though. The quartz was the most durable Zodiac is the one we looked at but seattled on granite because of the natural random lines that flow through it. The granite also matches the travitine floor. We haven't got it installed yet we are waiting on a couple more shifts of over time to pay for it. It went a little over 100.00 a square ft. We found granite from around 50.00 up to what ever you wanted to spend. To get anything that was "flowing" had good natural lines we were looking at 100.00+ and with a log house I wanted as much natural stone as we could afford.
