Where the cooking happens
Kitchen Granite Countertops
A kitchen countertop does more work than any other surface in a home. It holds groceries, homework, holiday pies and the morning coffee, often all at once.
Granite earns its place in Southern kitchens because it handles heat, resists scratches and hides the small messes of a lived in room.
Planning Countertops Around How You Cook
Think about where you chop, where you plate and where everyone gathers. The longest uninterrupted stretch of counter is usually best near the sink, with a landing spot beside the range for hot dishes.
Color matters too. Speckled and medium toned granites hide crumbs and water spots well. Very dark polished stone shows fingerprints, and very light stone shows coffee rings sooner.

Finishes Worth Knowing About
Polished granite reflects light and shows off color depth. Honed granite has a soft matte look. Leathered granite has a subtle texture you can feel under your fingers and hides fingerprints well.
Bring a cabinet door or paint swatch when you look at slabs. Seeing them together under natural light is the quickest way to decide.
