Seams in Honed VA Mist?
Comments (3)Not to hijack your thread, numbersjunkie but I was wanting to ask jeanteach (or you!) a question. I'm wondering how honed virginia mist might look with my (planned) off-white kitchen with subway tiles. Is your kitchen arctic bright white or moving toward cream tones? Also, how do you like the honed finish? Appreciate any comments. Regards, John...See MoreShow me your Honed Jet Mist or Virgina Mist Granite- Please :-)

Comments (13)We have cabinets painted in Divinity on maple (http://www.medallioncabinetry.com/Product.aspx?productID=161&CategoryID=2) which is a cool off white with the honed jet mist. I really like it - everything is softer. The honed jet mist reminds me of a chalkboard, I don't know why. With the white streaks running through it I am much happier than going with absolute black honed, I think it can help hide any imperfections longer (not that I have any right now!!). We also had polished uba tuba in our old house and I hated the streaks as well. When we went to see a slab, yes, the guy was like, look at the fingerprints just want you to know etc and so we hemmed and hawed a bit about honed but finally said it can't be any worse than the streaks on a polished. I don't really notice any fingerprints. I am a bit fanatical about wiping down the counters right now (for water spots or food stains) but we have only had them for 3 months. All I use is either clorox wipes or just a paper towel with some dish soap. Occasionally I have used the method granite spray. If anyone has any better suggestions let me know! I also have 3 young children and don't believe they have inflicted any damage either. I'll do my best to upload a pic later to help....See Morehoned jet mist / virginia mist? yes! do it!
Comments (10)We went the whole 'enhancer' route. I think its acts as a sealer as well. I read one of the gals (i think boxerpup) did it and really liked her results. It looks awesome. We got the DuPont StonePro tec...or something like that. As for oil spots - not had that issue yet, and we've been cooking with them for about a month now....See Morestephct
