Thank you. We never thought about this. How about the pattern between the two materials ? Should they be color coordinated ?

Thank you for the suggestion. It's not very large shower but not small as well.

When you say extra large - what would be the area ?

This is for a flip property.

Initially we thought we will use the same granite (pattern - Ruby Sapphire) for both cabinets counter top and for the island. We bought standard 108" and 26" slabs for cabinets and for the island.

Our granite guy recommends a larger slab to avoid several joints for island instead of using standard slabs. 

But we are not finding the same pattern for larger slab. If we go for another pattern for the island - should we just go for a  pattern that matches closely to the cabinet counter top or should we go for a plain granite ? 

Some one suggested to be plain on the island if the pattern is used on the cabinets counter top. 

Any suggestions ?

This is a flip. We are exploring the options should we 1) just clean the fireplace to its natural color or 2) Put the tile on the fire place.

Any thoughts ? We are exploring options to stay within the budget but not at the cost of loosing customer or value appeal. We already bought the tile  but now having second thoughts.

We are working on a flip that is expected to have more than $700K value and we are discussing the value of having bench in the shower. This shower is going to be in the master bathroom. There is no tub in this master bathroom. 

It seems that installing a tub is couple of days work including putting a frame and filling-in with the concrete in side the frame and tiling on the outside.

Do you see a value of the bath tub or does it change the appeal of the bathroom to the buyers ?
