Remodeling Design Dilemma Kitchens

Does anyone have any remnants of MSI CALACATTA TREVI?

I literally just need 13" x 26" x 2cm of prefabricated (or any slab) to complete a tiny portion of my project. Does anyone have any leftover from their projects? Where can I find some?? I can't find any leads anywhere!

Have you checked with local stone yards or fabricators? It is hard to imagine that one of them wouldn't have a remnant that you could purchase. Or potentially they can keep their eyes open for a remnant piece for you. Almost feels like a cutout for a kitchen sink would be the size you need.

It really is so odd...I called about 5 local fabricators and no one seems to have that particular style (and I'm even willing to compromise and find something close) because this piece is detached from the other counters (the little one on the right). I'll keep at it, though, it sounds like this is the route to take. Thanks...I thought I was barking up wrong tree!

(replacing the black laminate with Trevi quartz, and trying to avoid buying a 2nd slab for 13"!)

We've had MSI Arctic White for over 18mos now. I love it. Haven't had any scuffing, scratching, or staining issues. Damp paper towel takes most everything off. I use Clorox Wipes for coffee rings or berry "ghosting" and give it a good general wipe down 2x per week. We looked at a lot of the quartz "marble" looking options, but someone made a comment that the veins either look fake or resemble (leg) spider veins. After hearing that, I can't "unsee" it! ha! The plain white has been a perfect backdrop for adding color and texture elsewhere (grout, wood cutting boards, walls, etc.). I also find that I like seeing exactly how dirty the counter top is (so I can wipe it off)!

I can’t speak to the MSI stone, but we have the calacatta gold and really like it. It is very white and the veining is more subtle than the other fake marble quartzes we saw. It was expensive, but since we used it for our backsplash and counter we decided to splurge.

thank you @MinnesotaMary! This is very helpful. Your daughter's kitchen is gorgeous. I'm glad to hear you say that there is some warmth to it because I definitely was hoping for that. Also, I want something with subtle veins because the usual Calacattas with huge grey veins doesn't suit me - this feels more "real" to me! I've been to see so many slabs including Silestone, Cambria, etc and i really wanted to go with one of the "high end" quartz brands but I keep liking this MSI one the best!

Any chance you went with Calacatta Monaco? I’m leaning towards this quartz for my countertops and would love to get an opinion from a homeowner who has it. Thanks!

Its of course a long shot but if you have any habitat for humanity restores nearby they often have small chunks of stone from donated kitchens etc

We may be purchasing Trevi, and would be happy to sell you a piece, if there are any remnants. FYI We are located along the CT shoreline.

Why not just go to the local fabricators and see what they have laying around. For that size of piece, I am sure you will find something close enough. Just bring a sample of the trevi with you so you can make sure the background tone is the same

Good luck!

Anyone have pictures of their kitchen using Trevi? I’m hoping it’s a true white 😓
