kishoris we just got crytal white quartzite. it does not stain and is stronger than granite. you have to be careful to clean up acidic spills because it can etch, but they told me it takes 2 hours for that to happen, so not really a big deal. I think it's nicer looking than marble, but I was surprised to find out it can actuallly be more expensive.
Michele Molho do you know the size of the windows on either side of the range, we were thinking about doing the same thing in our kitchen with 18 inch windows but I am not sure if they would be too small - thanks!
Rebekah Zaveloff My experience is that honed marble is easier to care for (meaning it shows less etching) than polished...but none is maintenance-free. the island counter looks like a narrow strip maple butcher block.
jmmmlake Thanks Rebekah for answering all my questions!! It will be a miracle when I finally decide on what to do!!! Wished you lived in my area...I would have be done a long time ago!! Thanks again!
LIKE COLOR OF COUNTER TOP ON ISLAND.
Cabinets (like that shaker style), maybe a different style of knobs/hardware.
Really like this style sink, not the fixtures, but the white sink.
