Dolce Vita or White Macaubus Quartzite Anyone??
Comments (17)@Imp1959 What color are your cabinets? My cabinets are - I say cream, but they really aren't cream. The cabinet maker described the color as a warm sandy blonde with a hazelnut glaze. One of my friends said vanilla. Neutral stones like Taj Mahal pull gray, others are too white. Plus, I have a brick floor that changed everything. Not what I planned. It's now the quarantine rustic kitchen, but I will make it work....See MoreWhite or Calcutta Macaubus Quartzite etch?
Comments (4)I feel your pain. Probably spent 4 months agonizing over quartzite. Eventually went with a couple of very nice slabs of Madre Perola quartzite, which have been absolutely bullet proof after 9 months. No stains and no etches. My husband even used Windex on it!!!...no etches. It took me a long time to track down the info I needed to be comfortable with the decision, but the Gardenweb community came through with the info I needed. I've attached a link to one of my threads with some White Princess info. Good luck. Here is a link that might be useful: Quartzite info...See MoreWhite Macaubus and Sea Pearl quartzite
Comments (5)Don't judge it in broad daylight. Will look different inside your home. I know someone with white macaubus counters and they have a definite bluish/grayish cast to them. But the overall feel in their space is light and bright. It's on a gray island next to perimeter cabs painted white with dark counters. All the sea pearl I saw when I was looking had a greenish cast to it. They were all indoors if that matters. They are both gorgeous stones but I think the white macaubus goes a bit better with your tile choices according to what I'm seeing in your photo....See MoreWhite Macaubus Quartzite darker at install??
Comments (19)It was already darker at the fabricator’s shop, after the years of being stored outside, when I went to template. So before I saw them at install. The lighting in the kitchen is all new, LED, 3000K daylight, so nice and white. Definitely different lighting than when I bought them at the stone yard, but it’s brighter and whiter lighting at my house, which I would think would make it whiter looking. I feel like the years outside must have changed them. It’s puzzling. I wonder if some of the stone experts have any ideas......See MoreChessie
