Rain Forest Green Counter Top
Comments (6)Hi, Keerthi. We needed to delay building our house and will begin again in a few weeks. So. . . my thoughts have changed regarding the Rainforest Green for the countertops. We're decided to go with greys throughout the house and have chosen a beautiful SW grey for the kitchen cabinets (dark in tone). Unfortunately, I cannot locate the color swatch to give you the exact color. I am partial to quartz and Silestone has introduced a pure white "Zeus Extreme" that I love. Question: being traditional in nature, will a pure white countertop look too modern? Our kitchen, including breakfast area is 25 x 15, so it is large enough to carry the dark cabinets.

Comments (6)Photo would certainly be helpful. Not a stainless fan either, prefer white myself. Period appropriate appliances would either be white or colored. There are at least a few companies doing retro colored appliances these days but they are quite expensive by comparison featurewise....See MoreMarble Kitchen Counter - Would you or would you not?
Comments (13)Oh dear, the endless debate about marble in a kitchen! I've read/heard all about it. As everyone says it's not for anyone who gets apoplectic at the sight of an etch or a chip. It WILL etch, and WILL chip, and depending on what marble you get it may stain. And there's nothing you can do about it, no "special care" you need to take. You wash it and dry it and that's all. Trying to remove the etches is a fool's errand, since they will always come back. I've had honed Olympian White Vermont Danby marble in my kitchen for almost 5 years. It is full of etches from anything acidic--tomatoes, lemons, vinegar, pickles, wine, tea, even hard water. It was sealed at installation, and I haven't resealed it. NO STAINS at all, stains being discolorations. From some angles you cannot see any etching and it looks just as it did when new. From other angles, depending on how the light hits it, it is full of etches. Sometimes I love it and other times I wish I had gotten something else. My husband, who is not a neat/clean freak, hates it. But every surface had its pros and cons. You have to know yourself, and how you feel about everything looking pristine and new forever (which of course nothing does). Do your research, view slabs in person, consider your budget and how you and your family live, then make a decision....See Moreaprilneverends
