3. All the granite everywhere is so busy, makes me dizzy to look at it.

I don't hate all of the granite. Some of it might look interesting in a very small quantity.

I think their interior designer needs to find another line of work.

6. I'm not seeing a lot of granite inside

However, it appears they employed a lot of granite pavers outside. I see a boatload of metamorphic rock inside, and all I can say is, "overwrought".

[Irish_Dem]

7. Oh the interior is not granite? What the heck is it? Some sort of rock?

Overwrought? I would say down and out hysterical crying.....

[Brother Buzz]

10. It's predominantly metamorphic rock

Twice cooked rock. Granite is igneous, and is rather plain compared to some metamorphic rocks. It looks like they chose the loudest metamorphic rocks they could find. And speaking of hysterical, that bacon bathroom is hysterical.

12. That looks like the scene of a violent murder

and I don't mean just the murder of good taste, although that also happened.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Calling Inspector Morse.

For the murder of good taste especially.

[Irish_Dem]

14. OMG bacon! I can see it now in this bigger picture.

It looks just awful. I forgot all my college geology so thank you for the information.

Is the kitchen also metamorphic rock? I didn't hate it. But using it all over the kitchen counters, floors and walls was way too much.

Is this rock more expensive than granite?

[Brother Buzz]

19. The kitchen is a mystery. It looks like it's an exotic man made Terrazzo...

made up of what looks like, predominantly, metamorphic rock specimens all glued together.

Granite is very plentiful, but it's expensive because it's very hard and takes a lot of time and labor to saw and polish it. Those exterior granite pavers are relatively inexpensive because they are basically split to size with no further treatment.

For shits and giggles, here's a real expensive chunk of granite that machinists drool over, and will drop some serious jingle for, even a used one:

20. This is ugly granite. Looks like formica.

I love granite and stone surfaces. And love to browse granite shops.
But the above is bad.

But thanks for posting, very interesting.

I did not hate the stones glued together for the kitchen, but it did look a bit contrived.

22. We actually get our surface plates calibrated every two years.

A guy comes out and polishes them, then runs an indicator over the surface.

[Brother Buzz]

24. Cool beans!

I'm one of those idiots who can watch videos of surface plates being calibrated and conditioned for hours on end. It's actually a really quick slick process if it's done regularly.

This retired woodworker marvels at the number of zeros you guys can work with, and after watching a bazillion videos on machining, I realized I truly missed my calling in life.

[krispos42]

26. A piece of copier paper is about .002" thick.

We routinely measure things a tenth of that.

[Brother Buzz]

28. Like the thickness of a Sharpie® mark?

A black Sharpie® mark is .00012" thick, and that's a lot of zeros! In the percussion measuring realm, some eggheads, thinking outside the box, have used Sharpie® marks for shims!

[Irish_Dem]

2. All this granite cost them a fortune.

And from a design perspective using it on counters, floors, walls is way too much.
I won't even comment on the granite style and color.

[Blue Owl]

4. That stuff would look great at Mar a Lardo

[Paladin]

5. Jeez, that bathroom!

The only thing that stands out is the freaking toilet paper! Wonder how much that atrocity cost them.

[forgotmylogin]

9. That bathroom looks like someone with intestinal problems exploded...

Totally the wrong color - pee/diarrhea brown. Looks splashed all over.

[Lettuce Be]

8. Looks like a crime scene

[Irish_Dem]

18. It is a crime scene.

As FDL says above, the murder of good taste.

[Marthe48]

11. I like some of the rock colors

but would want way less of any of it. The pictures look like someone used one of the design apps and filled in everything in one color.

[Sogo]

13. I couldn't live with any of it, except

the gold/white bathroom, and that's only if I had to....

[Irish_Dem]

16. Money is wasted on the rich.

Think what the ordinary person could have done with the cash it took to make this trash?

[Orrex]

17. This is how it feels to be taken for granite.

[3catwoman3]

21. Thread winner!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Orrex]

25. Don't encourage him.

23. "Less is more." A concept the homeowners...

...do not seem to know about. That is some seriously fugly stuff.

Years ago, I went to a social gathering at a house that had so many different styles of decoration that I was afraid I was going to burst out laughing. The floor plan was pretty open, so you could see everything from almost everywhere, and none of it worked together.

There was everything from Chinese lacquer furniture to Dutch Delft to gold Roccoco to French Provincial to fake plastic grapes hanging from the chandelier over the kitchen counter.

The most hilarious feature was in the downstairs guest bathroom. For reasons I will never understand, the homeowner had a full length mirror installed directly behind the toilet. Any guy using the facilities would get to watch himself in the act. As a woman, I know one of the last things I would want would be a full length mirror facing the toilet so I would have to look at myself sitting on it.

I was told that the decorator had prevailed upon the owner to “tone it down.” I can’t even imagine how bad the original ideas must have looked.

27. seems to me

the homeowner told the builder, "I got a lot of money to spend, buy some rocks and grind them flat. Then put a singles bar in the entry way, maybe a strippers pole in the basement but get rid of some of this money for me. Puhlease??"
