Head to Head Marble Test With Photos. Surprise Ending!
Comments (32)I'm one of the many gardenwebbers trying to decide if marble countertops are right for me and my family. Inspired by sfmomof2, I took a 10" round carrara marble cheese server (purchased years ago from RH) and spread lemon juice all over it. The shiny, highly polished finish, which had withstood years of wiping down with water and melting slices of brie and espoisses, almost instantly etched. The surprise: I loved the etchings! It gave the slab a beautiful, matte finish and old-worldy look. i.e. it looked even more like marble. (I'm starting to think that the "Meg Ryan" technique is the way to go.) Now I just have to decide that I'm OK with that look for an entire island top. (I'm seriously considering the marble-top "French kitchen island" at Crate and Barrel.) I'm curious if there are other etched marble lovers on the kitchen site....See MoreDanby marble test
Comments (9)I have montclair, have it "permanently sealed" and have had no stains, just etches. It etches easily. My Montclair is honed and it has a rougher surface than say a carrerra or a calacatta, so you don't even notice the etches. I have only had it a month, but have had two large parties and no stains....See MoreDanby Marble Remnants in MA? Cost?
Comments (16)Thanks for all the posts everybody! Americancolleen, thanks for the lead on the Westwood place. IÂll give them a call. Please post pics when your Danby is installed! Willowdecor, I appreciate the heads up. I just donÂt understand how people can run a business that way. DonÂt they want customers? And IÂll call that remnant yard! HollyH, thanks for the heads up as well. I really like their website. It is probably one of the easiest to use - IÂm sure it sells lots of stone. Wish they would do that with remnants! :) PenelopeJosephine, in Boston there is a Boston Materials Resource Center. I havenÂt shopped there, but it is a good place to donate good used materials. nhbaskets, thanks for name of your fabricator. IÂll give them a call as well. This site is so fantastic - I know that when I have a question, it will be thought about and help will be given. Thank you all! Hestia...See MoreDanby Marble--Honed or Polished?
Comments (40)Sorry for the late response @Haute Shoppe Studio! I found different slabs at the last minute. Here is a portion of the counters. In love. Imperial Danby. If anyone is on the fence, just do it :). You will be a little stressed in the beginning, but then you relax little by little. It is just beautiful to be in the kitchen because of the marble....See Moreazstoneconsulting
