Our kitchen goes under the sawsall in March, so it is decision time to piece it together. We have hired a trusted contractor who will make it right for $20K+. New cabinets, new heated tile floor, new counter top etc etc.
My question/problem: The counter top is around 12' so it is longer than a slab of granite (just 10 ft). This means we will have to have a joint. And with anything other than the most boring of slabs, this also means that the joint will be obvious.
Where would you join it?
My wife is drawn to some of the more exotic swirly granites like this:
Since it is a dark room, we are thinking off-wife (edit: obviously subliminal) painted cupboards, fairly neutral porcelain tiles & backslash etc with 'the pop' coming from the granite & lighting.
Ideas?
