Jay: I am intrigued by your choice of continuing the Cambria flush under the window and as backsplash. I've been debating what to do about backsplash, rejecting many of the popular choices (glass mosaic seems too 'busy', typical subway tiles too 'shiny', tumbled marble/stone -- isn't the point something that's easy to clean?) and have almost come full circle back to the common 4" backsplash. I have a window over the sink, much like your photo, that would give about a 5" splash if continued along the wall. Any advice for those of us admiring the beautiful simplicty of your house and contemplating a similar counter/BS?

That's right, I had. The fabricator dh talked to said that he has some that compare to the lower grade of granite I picked. I'm afraid it's the kind of quartz that looks like a polished aggregate patio. But it's the first interest dh has shown in looking for counters, so I'm letting him run with it.

There is a kitchen in the comments of [this thread[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/has-anyone-used-lg-viatera-nimbus-dsvw-vd~3628436) with LG & wood counter tops..

The Engima Valley counter is absolutely beautiful, but I would NEVER install it again. I've only had it installed for a month and I already have two big chips in the island. I keep my house immaculate, including wiping down the counters every time I cook to ensure it isn't damaged by red sauce or acidity from lemons. I already have light stains forming on the island. I have marble in my bathrooms that's holding up better than the Enigma quartz. I reached out to Enigma for help filling in the chips. They redirected my email to the store I purchased the stone from who then redirected me to my fabricator for help filling them in. Really disappointed all around, especially since it was $5700 for one slab and fabrication/install.
