Why quartz when there are so many awesome real stones IMO a palstic counter is next to useless in a kitchen. As for seeing it in someone elses house id really not helpful since their house has different lighting different cabinet or floor color all of those things affect how something looks in your space . Are you just changing counters in your kitchen or a new kitchen?

I’m getting a new kitchen - cabinets, counters, backsplash and appliances. I like the low maintenance and the little variation of quarts. I like Quarzite too, but it’s more costly and less predictable, and requires sealing.

Hi! We are looking to install Calcutta Versailles too. Do you like yours? I can't find anything else but a single stock picture on the internet. I'd love to see a picture of how it looks in your kitchen. Thanks!

Ish - did you go with calacatta versailles? Looking for pictures

beautiful

Thank you bridlejo! It is gorgeous. I decided on natural stone ( Sea Pearl quartzite) but I would have loved this too.

@brideljo - we just picked out the same for our kitchen! It was a perfect compliment to the cabinets and backsplash we’ve picked. I wondered if you’ve had any additional thoughts or suggestions now that you’ve been using your new kitchen. I’ve previously installed quartzite so moving to a man made material is new for me. Thanks for any input!

i am planning to choose it too. Anybody haa it installed in the island kitchen with white cabinet? would please share pictures ?

@arlingtonduplex and @lilianabravo - I've fallen in love wtih the Calacatta Versailles quartz, too, but am having a hard time with getting a great color palette for the rest of the kitchen. Can you please share the specific paint colors you used for cabinets and what you chose as backsplashes? I'm looking at Emser Tile's Hanami in Olive and am not sure it will work.

We chose Sherwin Williams Pewter Green for the base cabinets and a “bleached” (a Zar stain called Beach House) hickory wood cabinet for uppers and pantry. The wood cabinets have a lot of variation in wood grain. We are using creamy white (with variations) zellige-style tiles as the backsplash (Riad from Tile Shop). We’re still not finished yet so I do t have photos. And as much as I liked the Versailles, the price was higher than we budgeted so we may have to go back to the drawing board.

@arlingtonduplex no way! our cabinets are already painted with Sherwin Williams Pewter Green. Landed on this page cause I'm also looking at the Calacatta Versailles quartz. Do you have any photos you can share?

@RT RT We did not end up picking the Calacatta Versailles because I was worried it might be too busy since we did two toned cabinets. Base cabinets are SW Pewter Green and uppers are a wood with a lot of movement and color variation in the grain. We went with a more neutral white/off white, Silestone's Miami Vena. Good luck with your search. I still think the Versailles is gorgeous!

We just installed calacatta Versailles and our cabinets is off white with warmer under tone we do not like how it is,so disappointed and upset,stone itself looks beautiful and the color of the cabinets exactly what we waned but it’s doesn’t go well together,so for the future if you getting this quartz make sure your cabinets are white or cool white not warm white or off white.

Exploring a willow grey cabinet with Calacatta Versailles quartz - thoughts?

Looks fantastic!

Hi all - I'm also considering the Calacatta Versailles quartz for my countertops. If anyone has any more pictures of their kitchens with it, it would be much appreciated! It's difficult to find pictures and get inspiration for what backsplash would look nice with it. Thanks!

We just installed Calacatta Versailles in our kitchen and I wanted to ask those who have had it for a while, how is it holding up? Staining? Etching? So far, so good?
