Finished (almost) White Kitchen- PHEW!
Comments (109)Hi Jennifer. Thanks so much. Our marble has held up beautifully. It is honed, not polished which certainly helps. I have had it professionally sanded and sealed once (and probably should seal it more often). I don't see many/any etch marks on it, but when I do see one I have found a fine scouring pad that buffs the mark out. I have had a few small stains and found that a little bit of soft scrub will take it right out. The only place in the kitchen where there is a slight issue is behind my range where the marble has yellowed a bit from the heat or steam. At first, I would religiously clean that area because it bothered me so much. Six years on, the color has mellowed into the marble a bit and it doesn't bother me at all. I will add that we are not careless cooks. If we use anything acidic we are very careful. I have large cutting boards that we use for all food prep. If there are spills, we clean them up right away. I have no regrets and have raised two boys from age 9/12 to 15/18 with the marble. I have no regrets and still love it. If I did it over again I would use the same marble, but I would probably do something different behind my range. My kitchen cabinets are about ready for a touch-up, but the marble looks great!

Comments (16)Sun, I think you've done a lovely job! In zone 7, I'm not sure you need to do much winterizing. I might leave the plants be, then trim up a bit in the Spring. I lived in zone 3 and 4 much of my life, and all the efforts I made were mostly futile.I ended up with what was hardy in my zone. Carol puts plants in her garage, and Seil I think puts pots against her home covered in leaves, but they are in colder zones. Good luck....See More28C / 82F today.. Phew!
Comments (16)It’s been crazy here lately! The HIGH today was 57F and we had a light drizzle on and off. It’s stopped now, and there’s still a few hours of daylight left so I can do a little work outside. I LOVE this cool weather! The low is predicted to be 47F tonight. In just two days time, (Friday) it’s supposed to be 84F again. The temps keep jumping up and down. Today was actually chilly and I needed a sweatshirt. I wish this would last a little longer.......
