I would be always very hesitant to put any kind of white marble into a kitchen, and i always told my clients so. Any light marble or Travertine, however well sealed, will show any kind of watermark, even from a glass of water, or a dish that comes straight out from the dishwasher. As a porous materials it is very easily staines by vinegar and wine.
There are white granites out there that might be an alternative, and Cambria brought out a manmade Quartz that is mimicking marble - not quite the real thing, but pretty good, and it saves the homeowner from a lot of aggrevation.
I occassionally put marble on a bathroom vanity, it doesn't seem to become such a huge issue as on an island, where you have light coming in from the side, which shows off any kind of stain.

Dupont offers a 15 year guarantee against stains on all marble and granite tops. You need to speak to your fabricator about it. And it is at an additional cost. However, in our opinion well worth it.
