Please Help! Super white vs White Princess Quartzite
Comments (24)I like that pendant. (I'm looking for something similar to replace my beloved pendants over my peninsula that have some issues so I popped over to the CB website.) Are you OK with the low light output? 25 watts is very low. My two glass pendants have 60 watt bulbs and seem like just enough light. Fewer would not be sufficient. Hope I didn't burst your bubble. It's so hard to find just the right pendant shape, in just the right size, with just the right lumens, at just the right price!...See MoreSoapstone vs Princess White in white kitchen
Comments (8)I really thought I wanted marble too and I ADORE marble. I wasn't so concerned about etching but unsure if I wanted the marble throughout the entire kitchen. I knew that whatever I got, I wanted a honed/matte finish. After shopping, samples, one thing led to another and I went in a totally different direction with soapstone. HEAVILY veiny Monsoon Wave soapstone. My house is a 1970's little ranch and can't even speak to a vintage look. I think the white granites look stunning and from what I read, if you seal it you'll be fine. What I can say, is I am over the moon over the indestructibility of my soapstone. I am a serious cook and baker and by no means delicate in the process. My soapstone is my favorite part of my kitchen. I do everything on it and no worries. It amazes me that I can get different looks as the weeks go by when I choose not to oil/wax the stone. I fall in love with each look and think I want to keep it that way until I wax it again and renew my love of that look....See Morequartzite (white america/fantasy) durability
Comments (6)I have not heard this about quartzite. I have white macabus quartzite and it has not stained or etched in the 7 months we have had it. If lime left a mark it would be an etch and not a stain but it could also be the stone was not sealed and the wet mark may disappear with time. Is it an etch mark ? The best way to determine if the slab you like is durable enough is as bahacca mentioned - get a piece of the stone and test it but make sure they have sealed it for you first....See MorePaint help!

Comments (3)Well that's exactly the reason on why it's so hard to give general advice on colors Revere Pewter for example is a lovely color that is highly praised, yet in my place looked like wet cement or something. I bet so much depends on a particular house in a particular geographical location too. That's why I dislike when people from, say, Vancouver say what's "timeless" to everybody whether they're living in Vancouver too, or maybe Arizona, or Florida That's why also every trend here gets bashed so, IMHO..because people pick it up and go with it(homeowners or builders) regardless whether it works in the first place..then it's everywhere whether it makes sense there or not much..then of course there's over-saturation of sorts, and folks start hating it. When nobody frankly put the gun to their head in the first place making them go with X or install Y. well I guess when it's put everywhere then it's not like you have big big choice either and at some point builders start putting whatever the trend everywhere, sometimes tastefully, sometimes ..lets say not so much That was off topic of course, for which I apologize:) As for the paints..might be a matter of many things. Say all mine are Dunn Edwards..and I had no idea such company exists at all, they don't have stores on the East Coast. Then when we remodeled the GC highly preferred for us to go with Dunn Edwards since he had an account with them, and they're very popular here. I could insist on other paint but would cost more..Dunn Edwards is considered pretty good..so ok, had to study Dunn Edwards. When I frankly would go with Benjamin Moore just because I know their colors a tad better. with Dunn Edwards had no idea where to start even the amount of samples I had to go through..can't decide whether it's funny or awfully funny lol (my white to go for trim is Swiss Coffee..luckily Behr has it, Dunn Edwards has it, I think Benjamin Moore has it..and they're pretty much Swiss Coffee all of them, so at least that..)...See MoreTdotNewbie
