My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Love the Sink! What type of Soapstone/color of Soapstone is it?

12 years ago
I've searched on many soapstone dealer sites and am having a hard time locating the blue/gray color of soapstone, but am interested in replicating the look in my kitchen.

    Most soapstone - Marianus for example - will go kind of gray if you don't regularly oil it. This batch from Brazil is actually green when it is "oiled up" with mineral oil. The owner likes to just let it go and then it looks like this.

    At Alberene Soapstone, www.alberenesoapstone.com, the oldest quarry of soapstone in USA, based in Virginia, we have a grey stone that you might like. Let us know where you are located and we can find one of our distributors or contractors working with our soapstone. You can join me at Veronica@alberenesoapstone.com

    I think it's Barroca honed. Not oiled
