It’s hard to miss it as the banner is splashed across our homepage, but it’s true! You can win a trip for 2 for ten days (TEN days!) to Italy by merely telling us what you love most about the products we’ve installed in your homes. We’re all ears (and eyes if you’re into the video message thing).
Everything is included from the flight out of North America, to the hotel that will house you and your partner, to the car that will ferry you around the rolling Italian countryside, through the heart of the Roman ruins, and past some of the finest wineries and granite fabricators on the planet.
We’re proud of the work that each and every one of our franchises performs. It all starts with the right materials and we’re happy to be using Trend Stone, Trend Glass, and Trend Mosaics for many of our installations. If you’ve had work done on your home by Granite Transformations, whether it be a new countertop, vanity, fireplace surround, bathtub, bar, backsplash, or shower let us know! We love to hear from happy customers who to this day love the gorgeous and durable combination that the Trend line provides.
So go ahead, enter the contest. It started on February 25 and ends September 16th, 2011. By simply creating a video or writing an essay about why you love your Granite Transformations kitchen or bathroom you could get a chance to enjoy Italy lavishly. Check the rules and guidelines before you enter. Have fun, and continue to enjoy those Granite Transformations home installations!
Remodeling your kitchen takes time, effort, and money. In some cases a lot of money. The best bet is to choose a mix of countertop materials, cabinetry, backsplash and wall covering options, and appliance brands to work together as a cohesive unit and to blend well within a set budget.
For others, however, spending on kitchen remodeling takes place with no expense spared. Many celebrities, who likely don’t even cook in these grandiose kitchens, have setups that would make a chef blush.
Without further ado, here are some kitchens from the celebrity set:
30 Rock star Tracey Morgan boasts a kitchen that looks able to tackle any cooking request thrown at it. We wonder how adept in in the kitchen Mr. Morgan really is.
In recent years master bathrooms have been looking more like the Caracalla Baths than a simple set of porcelain installations ready to be used for our various degrees of freshening. These colossal master bathrooms have been slowly sauntering back into the home remodeling conversation, especially as the economy looks to rise from late 2000’s ashes. Let’s take a look at what MSN.com is calling the top 10 bathroom trends of the season.
We love a well-kept home, both indoor and out. Making sure your kitchen, bathroom, and living room stay fresh into the winter months is tough, as each room will receive much more use and much more wear, but it’s the outside you really need to focus on.
Some of you may think we’re merely domestic specialists. Not true. We often venture outside the comfortable confines of the home to ring our gorgeous granite, glass, and mosaic to more heavily trafficked and public spaces.

Just when you thought you had us figured out, here we are, throwing you a curveball. Many people know us as quality providers of granite countertop overlays, glass countertop overlays, refaced cabinets, acrylic bath liners, and glass mosaic tile – commercially as well as in the comforts of your own home. But now we have taken our talents to a slightly less affixed sector – furniture!
During the month of September, most Americans know that football season begins, and unless you are able to travel to every game, that also means the start of football party season. It’s much easier to go to a party than throw one, but eventually your friends will notice that you haven’t hosted one since Brett Favre retired the first time, and it will be your turn.
Well, if you haven’t browsed the Granite Transformations site lately you ought to go take a couple of minutes and give it a once over. Right as you arrive on our home page you’ll find a semi-discreet video box just to the right of the main center graphic. What most people don’t do is click on it, but man oh MAN should they ever. I sometimes forget exactly how cool one of our videos is, but I’ll allow you to make your own judgments. Ladies and gentleman, without further ado I re-present to you “Bowling Ball vs. Trend Stone.” Enjoy!
Seems pretty conclusive, folks. The bowling ball absolutely decimated the regular slab of granite while our composite trend stone showed the bowling ball who was boss – and the trend stone looked great doing it! Seriously though, if your counter top can withstand some hard, Charles Barkley-like dribbles of a bowling ball with nary a scratch then just imagine the resistance your new granite countertop can have against typical kitchen mishaps. Oh the possibilities.
Some call it the greatest sporting event in the world. Some plan their lives around the soaring highs and devastating lows that each national team can deliver to their frothing fan base. I’m talking about the World Cup, and right now, just a short skip across the pond, the finest soccer players in the world are lacing up their cleats in South Africa to claim glory for their nation and bring home the coveted cup. What does this have to do with granite countertops and home remodeling, you might ask? Well, truth be told, not much! What it does allow us to do, however, is take the time to examine some of the exquisite homes that the world’s soccer stars live in when they’re not sprinting from one end of the field to another for 90 minutes. People love this stuff!
