Veterans Day: shower doors and granite

Today is Veterans Day.  A holiday recognized by the city so last night we called our GC to tell him he couldn't work tomorrow unless he wanted to get fined.  [We didn't even realize this Friday was a holiday until our nanny brought it up.  :p]

At 9am, we had a scheduled appointment with the shower door guy.  He came in and discussed how high we wanted the glass, how to open the doors, and whether we wanted towel bars on the glass.  Pretty quick since we only had two bathrooms that needed shower doors.

At 11am, met at the granite fabricator's again to discuss layout of the templates on the new granite slab.  One thing the GC pointed out that I totally did not take into account was where the most beautiful parts of the granite were located.  He said we would definitely want to incorporate certain parts of the granite if possible.  We were there for about half an hour placing the templates on the slabs in different orientations.  I should've taken a picture of the final decision!  Well, we ended up by locating the gray spots in the back of the counters where people wouldn't really notice.  Also I picked out what I thought was the prettiest part of the granite to use on the main counter near the cooktop.

I ordered two towel bars from Restoration Hardware's Modern collection for the kids' bathroom.  Gotta take advantage of their sale!  :)
