But I've found granite that's a pretty close match to this under the name "Santa Rita." (I think perhaps I saw it at Home Depot by that name.) We've lived here for 10 years now, and the granite is still in mint condition. It's so easy to take care of!<br /><br />Good luck in choosing your new countertops!Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-80102678935911600242014-12-30T06:28:34.242-05:002014-12-30T06:28:34.242-05:00Beautiful kitchen!

Also you put some new lights above your island, right? Most of all, I LOVE the new wall color!! Beautiful and very updated! I had my kitchen cabinets repainted this past November and I love to update too. Still have to have island bar chairs painted and re-covered. Just can't make up my mind on the fabric yet.
