Stone! Stone! More stone!

Over the Spring Break we installed our third granite feature in the old barn - a stone top for the kitchen island:

The other two granite features are the stone hearth and bench ...

... and a dining room table.

Each of these pieces has been crafted by Todd Braun - Elemental Stoneworks. (I did the wood work and rebuilt the cabinet for this latest piece.) We're not even tempted to say that this will be the last of it, though it may be simply for financial reasons, but it's a bit of a fetish by now. A stone fetish. Weird. And wonderful.

Here are a few more pics of the most recent stonework.

Viva la granite.
