new outdoor kitchen with granite countertops: what type of sink?
Comments (2)High end stainless steel won't rust. If you take a magnet with you shopping, you can test the quality, a magnet should not have ANY attraction. The brush guard on my Land Rover is SS......high end. It withstands freezing, being blasted by salt and sand on the roads. It's the most commonly used material for outdoor grills and sinks right now....See MoreMarble CounterTops vs Granite
Comments (4)People are likely to tell you to do a search--which is a good idea. There have been several threads on this in here and I definitely found them helpful. In the meantime, I can tell you that I have carrara on my perimeter countertops. My GC and KD both said "NO WAY" in the beginning, but I forged ahead! Mine have been in for about six weeks and I love them. The biggest cons you'll hear are staining and etching. I haven't had any staining issues at all. My husband left a lid from a margarita mix container on one counter and it did etch (acidic). But I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who can find it. What you'll generally hear on here is that if you're willing to live with some "patina" meaning some etching and possibly staining (though there are poultice recipes that people seem to have great success with), then marble is a great choice. If you want a completely blemish-free surface, it may not be for you. Definitely do a search on here, though--and good luck!...See MoreAll white 9x11 kitchen, need ideas for granite counter tops and lights
Comments (37)I suggest doing your research on fantasy brown if you are considering it. It sounds to me like a marble. (Super white is another that is often billed as quartzite but is is actually usually marble.). Not that there is anything wrong with marble--I chose it for the ktichen in our last house, but I did so knowing what I was getting. Those countertop geology threads are really informative....See Moremajestic white granite counter top kitchen
Comments (3):) The apartment I was renting that this granite. The cabinet color they used was white (not stark white but a soft white- similar to SW Extra White). They used matte black cabinet pulls which pulled the look the look together between countertop and cabinets very nicely. The wall colors were very light taupe (almost looked like off-white in bright light)....See MoreFire Pie Oven Company
