I didnt pick out the paint color for the master bath, only the master bedroom. The floor tile is in the picture at the bottom, light in color. CP I feel so bad for your sister and completely understand why she feels the way she does. I put the sample in water, it absorbed it quickly and lemon did etch BUT it also scratched glass easily. The etching left behind was smooth. Kim yikes on the price! My slab is 84/sq ft. Jan I am utilizing the slab for the laundry, master and guest bath because I do not want to waste it and you have to buy the slab. I really liked this slab but may go look for something else at another yard. I appreciate everyone's help and suggestions and am planning on speaking to my fabricator. I knew there were lots of quartzites out there and some are harder than others and some etch and some stain. Am thankful for people posting to let me know how their quartzites are holding up. I love the fusion quartzites but bet they are expensive. I am kind of bored with granite. The quartzites are so beautiful and have that wow factor.

No way to guess without seeing your kitchen and even with pictures, it's tough to tell because there is so much variation in slabs. Best bet is to take a cabinet door with you to the stone yard and see what you like. But if you're living in a hot sellers market, I honestly wouldn't even bother. Price it to sell knowing that your kitchen will likely be a gut job anyway. The price on your house will be the biggest driver to selling it quickly rather than a kitchen with a few bandaids that might not even suit the buyer's taste.

I don’t believe properly sealed polished quartzite is better for stains. As for etching, I believe honed stone is less noticeable. I am actually recommending honing the stone for aesthetic reasons. The effect is very soft, which translates as a warmth.

Having trouble choosing a whole house color as some are too icy, too dark, or too beige😅 does anyone have any suggestions from Sherwin Williams or Behr for whole house colors that are off-white with a hint of gray and will go with cool and warm tones? Thanks so much.
