We switched the locations of our former family room and kitchen. Where the fireplace used to be is now where my kitchen sink is!

Countertop: I like the honed surface very much. I was very tempted to get soapstone, but in the end, decided there were too many issues for me. The honed surface seems to be wearing very well, after about three months of use. One of my contractors couldn't believe how I wanted this "scratched up counter"! If you look closely, the honing does give the impression of little scratches, but the overall impression is of a smooth, satin finish.
