Changing counter tops in kitchen with white cabinets
Comments (37)I think the granite looks great: very classic and a big improvement over the tile! I'd definitely look into undercabinet lights. Before, the white counters reflected the ceiling light back up under the cabinets. The dark granite holds onto the light and makes the undercabinet areas a little cave-like. Lighting will make a big difference. I think the previous suggestions are excellent: painting the wall in the kitchen, along with finding some colorful accessories. I had a small galley kitchen similar to this one, and I was amazed at the difference a bright blue rag rug and a few blue dishtowels over the stove handle made....See MoreQuartz or Dekton/Neolith?
Comments (254)I just found this thread and it is very helpful to what I am working on now but first and foremost, I would like to share my condolences on the loss of your husband. I lost a husband many years ago and still recall how difficult it was. It is a journey, with ups and downs, but you will find a new normal life for you and your family. I am working on a condo kitchen reno and was trying to decide if I should recommend Dekton vs Silestone to the client.

Based on this conversation I took a quick look at Dekton REM and it might be a better solution. What is the recommended edge for Dekton?

Comments (4)Taj Mahal and any quartite for that matter is so dense that it is particularly prone to cracking without experienced fabrication and installation. Some cracks can be repaired satisfactorily, but not usually inconspicuously, and if the surface wasn't properly installed, you could be seeing more cracking in the future. You should reach out to your contractor immediately for warranty service. If the contractor prefers to replace rather than repair, you might consider a different surface to avoid the same problem given that the installer obviously did such a poor job and left it with no comment. At the very least, you should not use the same installer for any replacement if at all possible....See MorePaul Mason-Firth
