White Fantasy Quartzite vs Yellow Juparana Delicatus Granite
Comments (24)Hi Tuoihong- Glad you went with WF. Just read the thread and was thinking from early in the thread that WF was where your heart was. IMHO, SLab #1 is a little quieter, whereas #2 is a bit splotchy, chaotic. They're both gorgeous, but if I had to pick, it would be #1, which already has plenty of movement and visual interest but provides a calmer, more uniform look. Imagine you're making the decision by flipping a coin. Slab #1 is heads, #2 tails. While it's up in the air, about to fall, are you in your heart of hearts hoping for heads or tails? An idea similar to Beekeeper's Wife's, it helps clear away the noise and show you where your heart is....See MoreWhite Delicatus Owners
Comments (3)thank you redroze! now if we could just pick the **#@ backsplash........I could call it finished (well almost ;) I would love to be able to post more pics. I dont think its too busy, it was the one granite (aside from some of the blues) the had that wow factor for me, I knew it was the one. I do think whatever backsplash you get, and myself for that matter, has to be more subtle so it does not compete with the granite, delicatus is definitely the star of the show!...See MoreAlmost Finished- Light and Dark Kitchen with White Alaska Granite
Comments (72)I missed this, too! This is a beautiful kitchen! Warm and elegant, yet so functional! My layout is similar, except our stove will be on the other side of the sink/"L". The niche behind your stove is perfect... makes me want to do the same! I'm also doing an appliance garage (on the other end of the counter)... love the look of yours. I like how you went dark on the hardware, instead of chrome/nickel/stainless. And that pantry!! Everything looks perfect and I'm sure you will enjoy many, many years of happy cooking and entertaining in this space! Congratulations!!...See MoreHELP!!! Fantasy brown quartzite or alaska white granite?
Comments (40)Alyssa987 - I had Dallas White on my list for a short time because it was a lighter granite but it wasn't one that I loved and swooned over. The granite yards near me don't seem to carry a lot of white granites, so I haven't been able to see ones like White River or Colonial White in person. I read about staining issues with Kashmir White so I immediately took it off my list. It's tough because the different granite yards call the same granite different names....See Morebeekeeperswife
