POLL: Marble countertops - Yes or No?
Comments (148)More months have gone by since my last comment. No new etched. A few small scratches but nothing else. I wanted to update to add...I left an oozing bottle of grape seed oil on the counter and it was all over the counter. Left a dark mark. I washed it with mild dish soap and there is zero sign it ever happened. I have a watermelon colored kitchen aid mixer and one night after making something, I tipped the whole unit back and slid it across the countertop...left a huge pink paint mark that didn’t wash off. I got out the baking soda, wet a paper towel and in less than 2 mins it was completely gone. I’ve gotten so much stuff on this marble and I have yet to find a single thing that hasn’t come off with a little baking soda or dish soap. We’ve had it for a year now, used it super hard...I’ve even rolled out buttery dough several times directly ON MY ISLAND...and it’s still gorgeous. The same people who “can’t tell” that quartz isn’t marble probably wouldn’t notice any of the tiny imperfections that have happened because they’re less obvious to the eye than the fakeness of quartz pretending to be actual marble. Just sayin. (I’m not anti-quartz, just anti-“stone imposter” quartz. If I wanted a solid color counter, I’d totally get quartz.)...See MoreWhat color floors?
Comments (2)So I think you're wise to really update this old home. However, with the things you're saying you want to do, my suggestion would be ... before you do anything ... to talk with someone who has some decorating sense. Yellows, grays, whites, hardwood .... you may just want to give this all some more thought and come up with an overall design plan which would include color selections (which is where you seem to need the most help). Some general opinions .... the kitchen cabinets do need be painted and it needs a back splash. The floors need to be redone, but I would not do the entire house in hard wood. I would pick a neutral paint color (not yellow) and paint the house throughout....See MoreDresser accessories
Comments (24)I really appreciate the advise. The pineapples are going back. I felt they were nice but more transitional and pineapples usually mean welcome so they are probably better in the living/ dining rooms. I was just tempted as lots of us get tempted at Homegoods lol. You're all right about taking my time to find what will work. I'm sure I'm going to put a lamp there so I will concentrate on choosing that first. Then I will take my time to find something for the other end, maybe it's already in my home. Totally right...See MoreTop of kitchen cabinets
Comments (6)The answer to the question is there is rarely that open space above cabinetry anymore. It is taken up with taller cabinets and trim, very often. When it isn't the best advice is to leave it empty : ) and don't forget to stick the vacuum hose up there. Definitely one of the reasons the space is usually eliminated whenever possible....See Moretaylor
