The cabinets are KraftMaid cherry in a medium (Sunset) finish, floors are oak with light-medium stain, new appliances and sink are stainless steel. 1. I'm leaning toward the dark granites and having trouble choosing among Verde Butterfly (Brazil), Copper Antique (India), Cosmos Brown( SenSa stone), and Emerald Pearl (other suggestions welcomed warmly). 2. Bar overhang will likely be 9 or 10 inches (78 inches long), so thinking steel reinforcement bars necessary (how many?). 3. Sealers: K2 sealer costs about $500 extra, guaranteed for "life". SenSa has a 15-year guarantee (Lowes), and Stonemark also has 15-year warranty (Home Depot/Expo). Your opinions on sealers?? Any other advice on selection and installation would be gratefully accepted! Almost ready to order granite countertops for my kitchen remodel.
