Legends Granite...The Final Cut


The kitchen is so bright and beautiful...we cook more than before and the meals seem to taste so much better!





All the natural colors in the granite were so easy to compliment with the paint and accessories.







I look forward to entertaining in my new kitchen and showing off my granite countertops from Legends Granite more than ever.
It's the greatest feeling to hear my friends reaction to the beauty and enticing appeal the granite has. Everyone loves to touch it and runs their hands along the cool surface.
It's truly a new kitchen and has renewed my love for my house.











With the brightness of the granite it seemed to open up the kitchen for a bigger look. It's so easy to maintain and keep clean. I'll never look at tile again.
When I'm ready to upgrade the bathrooms next I'll be calling Legends Granite right away...you should too for a free estimate. 633-7788 or online at legendsgranite.com
Our next upgrade is the fireplace. It's still tile and well...I'm not so into that anymore.
Once again I'll post before and after pictures of the adventure because with the breathtaking beauty of granite countertops from Legends Granite...seeing is believing.



And it's amazingly affordable. Before you even think of a fake stone overlay...tile...corianne or even formica STOP...and call Legends Granite first.
You'll be surprised at the comparable prices but more than that you get the convenient and professional installation that you'll find only at Legends Granite...633-7788...legendsgranite.com

This is the granite I chose for the kitchen counters from Legends Granite.
It's got the greatest colors.
Rust and black, brown and even some olive green.
Now I have to repaint the walls :-)







The sun shone in on the new granite and it messed with the exposure of my camera.
But, you can still see the veins of color on each unique piece.
The granite back splash just finishes the look so perfectly.








I had to shut the window to get a picture without such a strong reflection.
Can't say that with tile.











I love the island. One solid slab, so perfect.
Look at the Ogee edge done by Legends Granite. So elegant.
And you can choose from several different edges.
Just check them out on their website at legendsgranite.com







This section turned out even more amazing than I thought it would.
It's great watching everyone that walks into my kitchen run their hands along the granite countertops. It's like they can't help themselves. I know I can't.
The cool, smooth texture is only one of the incredible features to my new granite countertops from Legends Granite.
Next step...we're going to do the tile area around my fireplace.
It's already started to grow into other parts of my home.
More pictures to come.

Legends Granite

It's time to show you what an amazingly elegant and surprisingly easy and inexpensive real granite countertops can be when you use Legends Granite.

I'm getting ready to do my kitchen countertops, as you've heard on KVOR but, before they get started on my project next week I want you to see some of the beautiful work they've done for other homes.





This is the Daack's kitchen countertop before Legends Granite.











Tile and grout...where's your toothbrush Daack family?







It's pretty, but it could be so much more








This is the Daack's countertops after Legends Granite.










No need for a toothbrush now.



Look at the 'glow' of the granite! And check out the stunning beveled edge!
This is the Kaletta's house...they chose Legends Granite after hearing about them from a friend who had work done as well. They could have chosen anyone but the saw the work Legends Granite does but not only that...the workers are professional and the choice of granite is endless.












This is my favorite picture from the Kaletta's home because this island is actually one solid piece of granite. No seam...just one, perfect, solid slab of perfectly cut granite.
Solid.
The next few days and weeks I'll be posting more pictures on additional pages for you to enjoy. If you'd like to schedule an onsite consultation call Legends Granite at 633-7788 or email them your dimensions to www.legendsgranite.com.
Thanks for reading...more to come!

The Air Force Academy has an honor code that seems so simple...yet almost impossible to live by. It goes like this; "We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does."
That kinda reminds me of something I read in a book one time called the Bible. There was a page dedicated to something called commandments.
Now I'm by no means perfect and I don't always abide by the three simple rules but I'm not running for a government office. I'm not being paid millions to be a grand slam slugger. I'm not the leader of a powerful church. It's still no excuse but I'm not held nearly as accountable as certain people are and the degree of such deception some people can sink to is more than I'm capable of.
But, obviously it's nothing to just blatently lie and take advantage of your position for some people. I think the situtation with Ex-Govorner Blagojevich is just simply disgusting and I'll tell you why I think so. He's seriously not seeing that he did anything wrong and I'm feeling that he's not seeing any error in his ways because that's typical for the government. What he did has always been done and continues to be done now so, how can he be wrong if everyone is doing it?
Same with the MLB. Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and Alex Rodriguez should all be banned from baseball and not be given any chance of entry in the Hall of Fame. They didn't earn it. It's that basic. Enhancing their performance to be the best instead of being the best on your own volition isn't true sportsmanship. It's not what the game was based on. So many players have never shot up. Most players have true talent and a never ending passion for the sport that wouldn't have allowed them to compromise their position. Then there's the wussy's that can't do it on their own. They need that extra boost they just don't naturally have to be the overpaid, overrated hero we expect them to be.
And wow, don't get me started on the church and Ted Haggard. I was raised Roman Catholic and if nothing else I was taught that the fear of God should be enough to keep you in line more than anything else. But this guy gave the definition to my word 'Hypo-Christian'. Those are the people that go to church on Sunday's just to ask for forgiveness for doing all the crappy things they do all week only to leave the parking lot of the church, cut you off at the intersection then flip you off as they speed away doing 45 in a 25.
So seriously...what is the truth? Should we even be held accountable anymore? I mean really, you can still be a high paid government official or an even higher paid sports star or even better, you can be wealthy enough to buy your way into Heaven. There really aren't any consequences...but God's not fooled.

So...who's going to pay for 14 children? Certainly not the unemployed, single mom who just recently gave birth to an additional eight on top of the six that waited at home. Home being with the unemployed, single mom's parents which I'm thinking is the only blessing at this point for this most unusual family.
The question that most people have posed has been, how was this allowed to happen? Ethically, was it the right thing to do? In certain European countries, particularly Italy and Germany, the limit on the number of embryos allowed to be implanted at once is three...she may have been implanted with eight. Dr. R. Dale McClure, president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, said in a statement Friday that the organization has been working to reduce the number of high-order multiple births resulting from in vitro fertilization treatments. But, in this situation it's a little too late.
The nanny that cares for this woman's children states that she's the 'perfect mom', which is a very noble statement. But, regardless of how Supermom-ish you may be, 14 is almost unmanageable for a daycare center let alone a woman and her parents. She'll most likely sell her life to a reality television show. Why not? The shows pay well and it's going to be a monstrous monetary challenge for the mother. So there's the answer to the question. Watch for a new show coming soon...'14 Is Enough'? All I can say is, look out 'John and Kate plus 8'...you've got some real competition coming your way.

Thanks for reading.

A Day of Change.

Today is historic in more than one way for thousands of Americans.

The first and most obvious is the inauguration of Barack Obama as our 44th President! I must admit, the excitement that surrounds me in regards to the upcoming event is contagious. The energy that fills the air is a great feeling and if the hope and promise of change Barack Obama brings become actions that he can stand behind, then America will come back stronger and better than ever before. He's a great man with a loving family and as with past presidential children, it will be fun watching the girls become women. The only issue I see is his inexperience but, with time I'm sure he will prove himself. At least, unlike G.W. Bush, I don't see him being known as the 'most vacationing president ever'. I see him digging in with both heels and taking on the pressing issues as hand.
Plus it's going to be fun watching Michelle Obama go through the fashion's of the day. We'll follow her like they did Jackie Kennedy. And of course there will be stories of the Pre's pooch. I'm hoping they decide to look at local rescues to find the perfect puppy but, I doubt that will happen. Regardless, watching the antics of the dog and the kids will be entertaining and the girls finally get the dog their daddy promised. That's a good sign.
Cheers to the promise of change!

On a more somber note, it's been rumored around the Nation that there will be more job losses across the board for a major radio corporation. It is a move of historic measure and my heart goes out to the thousands of people that are about to become part of the millions of unemployed Americans. Somethings gotta give in regards to the amount of people that are and continue to be out of work. I'm interested in seeing how this particular issue will be handled but until then...don't give up, things can only get better. You're definitely not alone.

Thanks for reading.
