Why does every one say not to use marble on countertops? - All designers us it because it is gorgeous. Is it really that impractical? Is there a solution to it spotting? »
Carolina Design Associates, LLC Marble is more porous and will show stains, scratches more than granite. When using it just be careful with it and be sure to keep it sealed in order to maintain it's original look.
cghead I have marble in my bathroom, and knew this could be an issue. The first time we got spots from some thing I was very unhappy but I got over it and do not really care so much because it is so beautiful.

laurahp13 I know that see are the Lugarno sconces from RH. Did you use the silk or linen shades? I can't tell in the picture. Thanks. Beautiful bathroom.
Mirrors - How were your mirrors framed inside the molding? I have existing mirrors and am looking to create an updated and custom look but not at an outrageous price. Any suggestions are appreciated. »
