Which Counter?

I love both of your countertops.
If you would still have information for both, please reply.
Thanks so much!

I'm in the final stage choosing bt Torquay and Silestone Lyra.
Did you look at both?
If so, what helped you decide on the Lyra?

I will have white cabinets (thermofoil).

PS - do you know if you can use metal cookie cutters on Cambria or Silestone to cut out cookies without it scratching?

I also have white cabinets. I chose Lyra because it is quite white with the right amount of steps, very tough and shiny enough (not too shiny). I haven't used it as a cutting board.

To the woman with the Lyra countertops. What is your backsplash?

Our backsplash is 4" white square tile. I have attached a picture of our Lyra countertop. May be it helps you to get an idea about the finished surface?

Would Lyra go well with Cherry Cabinets?

It would, with some modifications in this space. I would change the dark window valance to a white sheer panel, clean the clutter on top of the cabinets, choose a shorter vase and move it to the side. About the appliances... I am not sure if the white dishwasher would go with the cabinets; but we work with what we have...
