I'm not familiar with the Estate brand. We have cultured marble in our 3 bathrooms. Make sure when cleaning you use a product such as liquid gel gloss which comes in a pink can (also comes in spray form but recommend the can). Never use a powdered cleanser like "comet" or "bar keepers friend" or you'll have permanent scratches. From our experience with cultured marble the darker colors tend to show water spots & blemishes whereas the lighter colors hide a lot and stay looking like new. We recently replaced a 12 year old solid black cultured marble which was a disaster because every water spot or use of toothbrush or soap showed horribly unless it was wiped down afterwards. In its place we put in a cultured marble in a lighter almond colored "granite look" that I love. Another one I'd like to replace is darker green with a white bowl. Again, the hard water spots show (even tho we have a softener) & this ones scratched from use of the wrong product. Sounds like you got a good price. If the plumbing holes line up with your existing, it should be worth the money.

I think you may have room for a narrow single-hole faucet (we're getting the Kohler Simplice, see link below, and using it without the escutcheon plate.) Having looked at the Simplice, I think you'd have enough room behind the sink for it, but if you're not sure you could either (1) have them bump out your sink base 2" or (2) get a faucet, wait until template day, and see whether it can be mounted behind, while knowing that you might have to settle for off-center placement. Either way you'll be good! Here is a link that might be useful: Kohler Simplice

hartntex it isn't you, it's something Photo Bucket did to their accounts, from what I've read. I hope 2Little Fishies sees this - her kitchen is drop dead gorgeous. I found one photo I keep and I think she describes what tile she used in her reveal. LINK FOR REVEAL THREAD

crl, for how you plan to use the sink with two faucets, I would not get the stages because of the integrated drainboard--i.e., someone on the drainboard end of the sink turning a faucet on full blast and making a splashy mess of things. Instead, I would get a large single bowl sink like this 48" whopper: "BIG Sink" Or this smaller one that has an integrated ledge that allows you to use Stages like accessories: "36 Single" Note-- Top mount sinks can generally be undermounted if that is a concern....although, in your space constricted situation, you may decide to use a laminate counter top because solid surface usually demand more dead space in front of the sink. And, since no one else has weighed in on the Weymouth...I think it looks too fussy, esp. in pairs...too "Look at ME". And a lot more trouble to keep wiped down. I realize that you're shooting for a vintage feel...but, IMO, the Weymouth kinda shouts faux vintage in a not very good way. But, keep in mind that this is just the impression of someone who has hard water and yields more to contemporary and/or utilitarian faucet design.
