Excuse the mess, we just remodeled. White cabinets, dark walnut/espresso island. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on which countertop and backsplash you think would look good. I love calacatta gold marble, but husband doesn't want maintenance. if you know of a fabricator in Raleigh who seals twice a year lifetime please let me know as that may change his mind. Otherwise we are leaning towards neolith that looks just like calacatta gold. I haven't seen a quartz that looks anything close to realistic and speckled granite is NOT an option. I want white, grey, taupe, and light gold's. Thank you for your input! Just want to see if there is anything else I may be overlooking.
