Am I a rock geek?

I have always collected cool and unusual rocks. I am enamored with bold and strange granite which is making it difficult for me to stay committed to the Lapidus that I posted earlier in the week. If I thought that the following would be good for resale, I would consider using them in my soon-to-be new kitchen:

 

 

  

  

Media room? I think so.

I am willing to give up upgraded cabinets and any other topical updates in order to have a media room. Think about it: COD or Star Wars on a screen like this:

Nope, how about bigger - awesome!:

Holy crap look at this:

Here is the look that we are going for:

This is Elevation B and should be pretty close to what we are planning to do. This is the view from the back:

First Appointment Complete

Our first Design Center appointment was on Friday (July 20) and it was a wake-up call that Jeremy and I really didn't have an idea of what our style is. We haven't really decorated before so I thought my style was "rustic" however I think we are more traditional. After our appointment (we chose nothing) we decided to look online to find styles that we like.

We also took a trip to Planet Granite and browsed some great pieces of granite. I liked the Barricato:

but realized that it may not be a smart choice. We found a great choice called Lapidus:

Our first instinct was to choose lighter cabinets: 

I think we have changed our minds and are going to go with a darker finish:

Hoping to have our next appointment on July 30th. We'll be going with more suggestions and ideas.
