This project involved a full kitchen remodel for our homeowner, Carmen, in Indianapolis, IN, completed by Olympia Stone. The customer's primary focus was on the island, with the material choice of Granite Blue Bahia 3CM for this central piece. This decision then informed the selection of the perimeter countertops, for which Granite American Soapstone 3CM was chosen.
The project highlights the customer's design process, starting with a key focal point, the island, and then building out the rest of the kitchen's material palette. The combination of two distinct granite types for different areas of the kitchen suggests a thoughtful and customized approach to material selection, aiming for both aesthetic appeal and functionality in the newly remodeled space.
