Absolute Black Granite in a Kitchen Remodel
The Absolute Black Granite Updates a 1980s Kitchen
We recently had the privileged of working with a homeowner in Northwest Austin when they remodeled the kitchen in their 1980s home. The light wood cabinets were in great shape and the configuration of the kitchen suited the homeowners well. The addition of Absolute Black Granite brings this kitchen into the year 2010 and provides the gorgeous counters that are in such high demand in established neighborhoods such as this one where the original counters were laminate, or occasionally tile.
Tumbled Stone Back Splash
This kitchen also had a tumbled stone back splash set on the diagonal.
This type of tile set takes more time and patience but looks fabulous when done, especially with the occasional inset black granite tiles. The edge on this granite is full bull nose. This kitchen required two slabs of 3 cm granite – the photos don’t show well that in addition to the long sink counter, island and cook top counter, the kitchen also has a large breakfast counter.

Masculine Kitchen in Allendale in Northwest Austin
Most of the homes in Allendale in Northwest Austin are older, and frequently we see photos of Allendale Re-Dos, or remodels. We very very surprised and fortunate, therefore, to have a chance to work with the builder of this high-end new home in Allendale, designed to the exacting specifications of the single male homeowner. The exterior of the home blends seamlessly with the vintage character of the neighborhood while the interior sports an exceptionally fresh, yet subtly masculine look. The kitchen in particular calls upon colors that remind us of a custom tailored suit – greys and blacks, with just the right amount of punch.

Emperador Dark Marble Bathroom Counter
Yes, we know our name is Toluca GRANITE but we also LOVE Marble, especially when we get the chance to fabricate (that means “make” in granite-shop terms) some really cool bathroom counters in a fabulous, complex, rich marble such as this Emperador Dark.
The photos illustrate, beautifully, how many different places the marble (or granite) can go in this small space – on the multi-level counters and on the backsplash, and in a little j-shaped slice on the other side of the room on top of a glass block wall (the pictures of that wall has too many artifacts in them to post here!). The edge profile on this marble is 1/2-inch bevel, one of the most popular edges due to its simplicity and timelessness.
This marble is especially attractive with a vessel sink because the sink permits maximum counter space and showcases the complexity of this material – the coloration, veining and movement, which all add character to this Emperador Dark marble counter.
Can we do something this FABULOUS in your home?

Designer Kitchen with Giallo Ornamental Granite
Jan Mahaffey Blatchley of It’s Faux Real designed this remodeled kitchen and selected Giallo Ornamental granite for the countertops. This classy granite works exceptionally well with the diagonally-set small pieces of slate and the subtle glaze on the painted cabinets -a bit of an aged, old world look meets current custom home. These materials permit the accessories in the room to sing without competing for attention – the home owner can introduce reds, oranges, greens, or a myriad of other soothing or energizing colors palettes to the space in accessories or fabrics to change up the look seasonally, or whenever the mood strikes. When your granite counters lend themselves to ALL of the looks you love, you know you’ve chosen a winner!
