Backsplash Alternate for this...
Comments (35)illini - hahaha "I suck at this stuff". I think we are not alone! :) I have not heard of them. When we did our last kitchen we actually decided to go direct through a fabricator to save cost (cut out the middle man). We weren't replacing cabinets so it seemed to be the logical choice. We checked out 3 but over here on the west side. One looked like he was about to go under, the second was very 'you don't want this, don't do that' and kinda crabby. The 3rd was Kowalski. Said they COULD and WOULD do what I wanted (a radius on our peninsula) but that they free hand it all so that's why sometimes they don't LIKE to as it's more time consuming. They did a great job. So we are going back there from that experience. Uba tuba was our granite - I had one seam at the sink. I thought it was more than acceptable. Hoping to avoid the seam altogether this time though. :)...See MoreDoes anyone have Mont Blanc quartzite? If so, would you post pics?
Comments (30)@Thao Le I like the subtle sheen of your honed Mont Blanc quartzite countertops. Please share whether you have had problems with staining? If not, kindly share what type of sealer you used. I plan to use Mont Blanc for my upcoming renovation but given the porosity, I want to be sure my contractor uses a sealer that is proven to properly 'impregnate' the stone to prevent staining....See Morewhat color paint would you put with Mont Blanc quartzite?

Comments (2)I'd recommend choosing the counter that works with the less changeable components like your cabs and floor. Then find a backsplash. At that point you can find the correct wall shade of white. For the counter that means securing the actual slabs because they'll vary being a natural product. And checking the tones in your space with your lighting. Help! Mont Blanc VS Monte Blanc. Are either real Quartzite? (houzz.com) Take a sample card of the white with you....See MoreJeffrey R.
