Help!

Can’t decide between Etheral glow and Lumina Vietera.

I’m doing countertop, backsplash, two waterfalls. So you see a lot of it. Both are very white, Lumina is a bit more crisp.

Etheral glow

@JenR We went with EuroStoneCraft (https://eurostonecraft.com). They did great job measuring, walking us through the options, install and then a quick fix after it was installed.

@Dee SmithThank you for the very nice compliment. It would be best to pose your question to the wider group. I am not a designer and I am sure there are some professionals who could give you some good advice.

looks beautiful, May I ask what sink you got ? I was thinking black but now I'm rethinking it . Your kitchen is beautiful

@HU-376421629 Thank you. It is a stainless single bowl sink. It can be found at Home Depot.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/MSI-Undermount-Stainless-Steel-Handcrafted-32-in-Single-Bowl-Kitchen-Sink-SINBWL-WEL-3219/300039391

it is much quiter and deeper than our old sink.

Hi, im also thinking to get ethernal glow for our bathroom countertopKS through costco, and they gave me option between keeping the 3cm quartz or upgrade to 2cm backsplash - so i was wondering if you have 3 or 2 backsplash on your kitchen?

@Sharon Jamin we have the 3cm backsplash. We also went through Costco and had a good experience.

can you please share what back splash you chose? is it a light gray subway tile? glass? matte or glossy ? we have selected the etheral glow but struggling with back splash

@Maggie McCourt we used an Allen+Roth shiny, glass tile with a white backing. It was a Lowes exclusive but has been discontinued. It does give more of a gray look when it is on the wall.

Can anyone share the experience with Ethereal countertop in the kitchen? Just wondering if anyone has/had issues. Thanks!

@Mi we have not had any issues with the counter. It cleans easily. I also cook every meal in the house and do quite a but of baking too without any issues. So far so good.

boschboy thank you so much!

Thank you for posting this. I'm getting quite a lot of this surface in my new reno which just started this week. I'm trying to pick a decent floor to go with now. Not easy! Getting indigo, dark blue bottom cabinets and white uppers. Gold/Brass fixtures. Adjoining room is 1925 oak floors.

Any ideas?

Wow what a HUGE difference swapping out the countertop! Stunning!

We went with Calacatta Gold and love it!

Lovely!!

@JenR Thank you for pictures! Looks great! Which finish did you go with? Seems like polished in the picture.

Thanks yes they are polished.

Here are my new Ethreal Glow for those of you trying to decide. The close up has reflections and shadows on it from lights but still gives you a good look at it.

Great photos! Love this counter. Its like a 5 week wait time to get after new cabinets are installed, does anyone have any expereince and tips on how to use kitchen during that time? LIke using plywood for a counter and install sink to be able to use. I thought we could save old sink or buy cheap sink to install to use with plywood on counter around while we wait the month plus to get counter. Although we plan on putting in a farm house apron style sink and the farm house sinks I was told has to be installed before the counter gets measured for the quartz. So we can always install new sink, use that and put plywood on counters? ANY other suggestions on how to do a DIY kitchen with Ease :) :)

I was going to go with calacatta gold but now torn between etheral glow and toscana cream. has anyone looked at other etheral slabs? maybe like the glow without the prominant brown lines?

The brown/gold was very prominent in the ethereal glow slab that I saw. I was looking for something more subtle which is why we went with calacatta gold. I ended up going to the silestone location in Dulles VA and it seemed they have everything to see in slabs including the entire ethereal collection. You have to see slabs in person to really make a decision IMO. We also really liked the Borghini gold but it was much more expensive bc we had several slabs. Hope that helps… it is an all consuming experience!!

@Keira P were you able to see actual slabs of the Ethreal Glow? We were lucky to be able to see both our slabs before purchase. That was the only way for me to truly make a decision. I know it is hard to tell from my above pics but my lines are more gold i think it also depends on your finishes, etc. My pendants are warm brass. Honestly you just need to go and look at them all in person even if that involves several different places. Sorry for this lengthly answer but i was in the same dilemma as you. Best of Luck!

Beautiful! Do you have any seams in the counter? If you do, I’d love to see pictures of how the seam looks. Thank you!

@uniqueqt22 here is my seam.

Thank you for sharing that! Really helpful

I just had the Silestone Ethereal Glow counter tops installed in my kitchen. They are beautiful, I love them. Your kitchen came out beautiful with the Silestone counter tops.

I am looking at the Silestone Ethereal Indigo it is a home depot exclusive has anyone had expereince with home depot and installing your quartz? Also looking at Ethereal dusk, seems simular in blue veining and is not exculsive to home depot. Would love some advice in expereince with home depot install THANKS

My fabricator is working as I type. I am installing the Ethereal Glow for island and perimeter. White perimeter cabs, super dark navy island. Paint is SW Shoji White, gold hardware. Now looking for tile back splash. I want to bring some of the gold into the walls, but subtle.

Love your kitchen! Mine is Fairfax, VA, home is a complete remodel that we have been working on for a year.

uniqueqt22

would you mind telling me your backsplash selection? i am having white cabinets and etheral glow countertops. i I love the different shades of white

We are in the process of installing the Ethereal Gold and decided to go with a backsplash made of the same material. The kitchen is not quite finished yet but the backsplash looks fantastic.

@Cris C

lets see it!!!!!!

@uniqueqt22 what is the backsplash tile on your kitchen photos?

Do you have a picture of the seam area you could share? We are wanting to install this countertop but concerned about the seam with the pattern

@Andrea Ames - it with Bedrosian brand, Cloe style, in white. We love it! Pulls whites, grays, and tans together.

@Susan Kaul, I didn’t see your comment. We used Bedrosian tile, Cloe is the style and white is the color. It’s so perfect with the different shades!

@Allison Kepler-Bilden, I posts pics of my seams on the Ethereal Glow a few comments up.

Ethereal glow counters 😊

@Rosie F they are beautiful and you will love them.

Would the ethreal glow counter and backsplash look good with navy blue kitchen with brass finishing? how present is the gold vain in the slab?

@HU-737980060 I think it would look great with the navy cabinets with brass finishes. The gold is pretty minimal when looking at the slab as a whole. The veining in Ethereal is very thin.

@Allison Keppler-Bilden I will post some pics of my counters today. Sorry for the delay, I had not updated my email for notifications. My seam is wonderful, especially considering it is at a 90 Degree turn.

@Susan Haul Here are a few pics (model is my daughter as I was prepping for holiday gathering), but I will take some better uncluttered of the wall. I used this tile, but turned it 90 degrees, as I didn't like the bowling pin look for my project. https://www.flooranddecor.com/marble-decoratives/dolomite-skyfall-clipped-diamond-marble-mosaic-100566652.html

@HU-737980060 I love it with the navy. My island is navy and my perimeter is white. I am not too good with photos, but will post some this afternoon.

I recently renovated my Florida home as well. For the counters there I selected Cambria Portrush for the island, which is navy. It is a lot of loud movement, but it works well with that home. I love the gold flaking. It is much more bold gold than Silestone Ethereal Glow.

@Allison Keppler-Bilden Here is a photo of my seam. I took it towards the corner, so you can see how they did a good job at keeping consistent pattern. The seam runs from corner up to left in photo, maybe about 10 o'clock.

Did you do 2cm for Kitchen Countertop?
And 1.2cm for Kitchen Backsplash?

Does anyone know the savings with Silestone going with costco vs like home depot?

@tamradiane the Costco member receives a 10 dollar/ sq ft discount. Also, Costco offered 15% of the contract price in a Costco gift card. Our Home Depot and Costco both used the same quartz installer. You would need to compare the square foot price at each place to see which comes out better for you. Home Depot may have a lower per sq foot price but with the gift card the total cost was lower for us.

Good luck.
