I am crazy in love with this kitchen. I am a sucker for a white kitchen with brass hardware and marble countertops. This range and hood are amazing. I did a little research and they are from Bluestar Cookery. And blue and white Chinese porcelain is the perfect finishing touch. The layout here is almost identical to my kitchen. I am tempted to go ahead now with changing my countertops. I have always wanted real marble, but did not pull the trigger with a husband prone to spilling coffee and red wine, etc. For the Florida house I had chosen Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz, having substituted a messy boyfriend for a messy late husband, but now with nobody to spill things, I might just go for the marble. Thoughts?
I wish so much that this would've happened.
ReplyDeleteIt will work well in my kitchen, so I am starting to plan it.
DeleteI dream of white marble countertops. If you can do it then I say go for it and I can live vicariously!!
ReplyDeleteI agree - as much as I like quartz for its durability, it is just not the same look.
DeleteThis is STUNNING! Look at those appliances!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried to price them yet, but love the look!
DeleteI say go for it. You know the downside to marble and at this point it probably is not a great risk at all. I personally don't even mind when it etches and small stains. It gives it patina.
ReplyDeleteI agree and with me the risk is minimal. I'd rather get whatI love!
DeleteDo it! You only live once!
ReplyDeleteDon't do it! I have had Silestone Lyra for 7 years. It looks brand new and requires no maintenance. I clean it with Windex and love the look. I suppose if I was the only one who was ever in my kitchen (thankfully I'm not) and never wanted guests to step inside it, I might consider marble. I think my kitchen is beautiful AND practical. Win/win!
ReplyDeleteI get what you are saying. I will definitely give this more thought before I decide. I do like the Suede finish in the Silestone - I was out at their design center and got samples.
DeleteLove my marble and have had it in several past kitchens. That said, I am the only one who's ever in my kitchen (thankfully) and have never wanted guests to step inside it. I also am not bothered by small droplet etchings, but still try to wipe spills immediately. I wish I had thought to go with a honed surface at the start—just don't really like a shiny surface. But with years of wear, it's getting there on its own.
ReplyDeleteYes. I really liked the honed as well. So elegant.
DeleteThis is the most stunning kitchen. That periwinkle blue is ne plus outre! Proves that it doesn’t have to be large to be perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very similar to mine in size and layout and I love those appliances!
ReplyDeleteThis kitchen sweeps me off my feet! Hope you get to replicate it! WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I unfortunately just put all new stainless steel appliances in my kitchen 1 month ago in anticipation of listing it. I might start with the countertops and see.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out porcelain countertops? They're stunning and look more like marble than quartz does.
