IF POSSIBLE, USE A DESIGNER THAT'S WELL VERSED IN GRANITE FABRICATION. WE GO TO OUR GRANITE WAREHOUSES WITH CLIENTS TO SELECT GRANITE. IF IT HAS THE "MOVEMENT" THAT THESE SLABS HAVE, WE'LL ACTUALLY TAPE IT OUT TO GIVE THE ULTIMATE PATTERN TO OUR DESIGN. NOTE HOW VEINS FROM EACH CORNER FLOW INTO THE MIDDLE. ESPECIALLY NOTE HOW THE 4" BACKSPLASH IS CUT FROM THE SAME SLAB EDGE SO THE VEINS "LINE UP".
