Thanks bud, I'm watching your build closely as well which is looking awesome. I actually went into the granite warehouse to pick out a slab of the same more basic Bianco Antico which is what we used in the bathroom but it turns out I'm easily distracted.

Thanks, Here's a preview of the ceiling.



Building a wood frame to match the cabinets with a sunk in ceiling panel that's around 3'x3'. It's all completely removable for access and has integrated cove lighting



I've only got 2 of a total of 8 panels complete that will be over the bar area.
