Show me your Imperial Danby marble floor
Comments (0)Dh likes using local materials and is considering imperial danby from Vermont for our master bath floor. If you are not familiar with it it is very white with soft gold and gray streaks. One plan is 6" honed Danby Diamonds with 1" Verde Antique dots and shower threshold. Verde Antique is a green marble from vermont and the nicest green marble I have seen. I can't find any pictures of an Imperial Danby floor anywhere. I am in upstate NY and vermont stone is not a problem to get but it is not cheap....See MoreBanquette, cabinet height, Imperial Danby questions
Comments (8)Thank you again! Great suggestion about the "lip" to hold the cushion in place. Our L-shaped banquette is going to be pretty huge, something like 10 ft. on back wall x 7 ft. on side wall (with windows above each wall). The idea is to create a "hang out" area on one end of our kitchen, with built-in cabinetry to hold tv on the wall opposite the 7 ft. side. Our architect has suggested using 2 pedestal tables that are 36" x 30" each. The idea is that with such a long expanse of banquette on the back wall, there would be a "pass-through" in the middle. Kind of like in a restaurant with a banquette wall and a row of 2-top tables in front. Also if my two kids invariably leave their homework mess on one table, we can just use the other table for dinner for our family of 4. Or push both tables together for a larger crowd. I assume I'll have to have those tables made and had thought of a white painted wooden base to match cabinetry and a wood top to match wooden island top (if we go with wood on island vs. marble). Thoughts? Likely cost?? My husband keeps saying we can just use our existing pine table that seats 6, but it has corner legs and isn't the right size, anyway. I feel like I've fallen into the rabbit hole...so much great info. here!...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 MoreMy marble seams = no bueno.
Comments (15)After all is said and done: I LOVEEEEEE my marble countertop/backsplash. Yes, I still notice the seams, but no, I am not bothered by them anymore. I would do marble again in a heartbeat (but not with this fabricator/company). When my fabricators did the mixing for the edging epoxy, I could see how difficult it was to match, especially when there's so much veining involved. He worked w/ me with different options, and I had to choose the least of the evils. At that time, I just didn't like it. But now, the epoxy is so minimal in the whole scope of my renovation, I don't even see them now. Sorry, no reveal yet. We're enjoying the summer (off to Canobie Lake Park tomorrow), so we'll tackle the remaining tasks after school start. Big cooking day today: on my beautiful countertop, I made a delicious Dominican cake for my Dominican husband for his bday. Made meringue cookies w/ the extra merengue. I also whipped up for his bday Guinness chocolate ice cream, chilling in the fridge right now. This is the only current picture I have so far (my friend's phone camera) This post was edited by huango on Fri, Jan 9, 15 at 7:51...See Morekamkar2006
