Many homeowners are stopping for a moment to consider what is truly important in their lives. For most, the answer is friends and family. Some people are leaving their larger homes for a more minimalistic downsized lifestyle that allows them to do more of what they want. Some of the new homes popping up all over the country have floorplans that center around what many are calling “open concept kitchens” using granite countertops. These homes have clean lines and a back to basics approach that makes granite countertops that epicenter of family activity. Although this new trend is kitchens is one of the most functional, they are still stunning. Sprawling granite countertop islands have farmhouse sinks and beautiful pendant lighting making it an inviting space for friends and family.

This seamless flow helps busy families multitask all in the same space.

  • Islands that have cooktops and/or sinks or those without
  • Multi-level islands
