(8/31/07 10am). We are going with Yorktowne Maple Spice Cabinets in Kingford door style with mocha glazing, Canyon Tobacco 13x13 floor tiles (alt: Edilgris Beige 13x13) and all stainless appliances and single sink bowl and faucet. Probably will have 4x4 white/beige backsplash tiles in porcelain and rubbed bronze knobs/handles. We thought Yellow River had all the right contrasts, but reading your post remark, perhaps there is a better granite choice out there waiting for us???

The backs of most corbels have the brackets that you put the screw through it and then the corbel sildes down to secure in place. So even if you drilled the holes as high as you can on the wall, sliding the corbel flush with the bottom of granite, once the corbel slides down on the brackets there is gonna be a gap. Is there anyway around this ? Is it really possible to get corbels flush with the bottom of the granite after the granite has been installed ?
