Hugging Granite and the Writing on the Wall

We picked our kitchen granite slabs last week.

This will look good with the nearly-white cabinets.

It's the lightest countertop my husband would agree to,

and I like it too.

We both like the 'movement' and flow.

This piece is called 'Yellow River Matte' and comes from Brazil.

I've been looking on Pinterest and googling backsplashes

and discovered I like the look of pale brick.

Below is a photo of what we have chosen

-

It really helped me to browse online to get an idea of

what I didn't like,

to help narrow down what I DID like.

Finish work begins this week

and the messages I wrote will be hidden inside the

window and door frames

~ In the master bedroom windows ~

~ And on the studio door frame ~

-

-

I wrote prayers and scriptures and praises

on many of the wood frames.

-

Our home will have these blessings, prayers,

and the Word of God

written on the doorposts,

something the children of Israel did centuries ago.

{although maybe not with black permanent markers}

-

I did this in our last home but after a while forgot

what I wrote and where.

This time I documented with photos!

The concrete floors were stained and finished

this week, and after I get the photos into the computer

I'll post some.  My plan was to sprinkle

G  L  I  T  T  E  R

onto the laundry room and powder room floors.

My husband apparently thought I was joking.

Fortunately for him I didn't arrive with the glitter

until after the finish had dried.
