We have decided…but not without a story

Avalon is in DE, across the street, on 202,from the Lowes (where the Brandywine Racetrack used to be).  There was ALOT that we liked, but Jen and I both liked the black granite the best, there was even a partial highlight tile designed to go between the plain tiles.  So now we have the idea of what we really like…so we ran over to Lowes to return some extra floor tiles and grout and look at their tiles that we would consider for the countertop.  We found the granite tiles there, $2.00 cheaper per tile, and I had a couple coupons, so we really saved a nice little chunk on this purchase  🙂

We decided that we would really like the highlight tile, so we pulled a tile from the case and went back to Avalon, it matched but then we found out that there is a 2-3 month lead time on every “non-stock” item.  Now, a week, maybe 2, I can see, but who in the hell knows what countertop or even flooring they want 2-3 months before they start their project??

We did, however, order the tile for the backsplash from them, that only has a week to 10 day lead time…that, I can live with!!
