Carrara marble. The owners are very careful about protecting the surface, wiping up spills, and periodic re-sealing. Carrara is available in many shapes and sizes, so the solid surfaces and wall tile are Carrara here, and the bathroom on this floor is also entirely Carrara.

Love the look but don't want the upkeep. Currently searching for an alternative for my kitchen. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
