Countertop Selection Down to Final Three
Comments (22)I am planning on using Blue Fusion Quartzite in my new build, also. What did you end up doing for your backsplash? I'm thinking of doing a glass sheet so I have not grout lines and also because the quartzite is busy and should take center stage. I'd love to see what you did in your kitchen....See MoreRift Sawn White Oak - Countertop Selection
Comments (15)@Ryan Danielson I’ll start off by saying all slabs are different and you need to see them in person. Don’t let my one and only impression of Taj sway your decision if you found one you like. I thought I wanted Taj before I went slab shopping but I only found 1 Taj slab in the 8 warehouses we visited. It was dark tan with heavy cream veining. I remember walking past it and back tracking my steps after reading the sign. It looked nothing like the light cream slabs I see on Houzz. We discovered so many other quartzite slabs out there. Quarzo Blanco Precious was our favorite but way out of our budget. It was so white and clear, it was almost translucent in daylight. I would pair it with walnut cabinets if I ever get the chance to do my walnut dream kitchen. My Madre Perla is green but there’s quite a bit of grey, taupe and creams. It looks green-grey or beige depending on the lighting. The island and cabinet run are cut from the same slab. The island photo was taken in the morning and the cabinet run in the early afternoon. I'm going to paint the upper cabinets BM Intense White. This was my inspo for rift white oak cabinets with Taj counters https://jewettfarms.com/work/islandroad...See MoreQuartz Countertop selection 12 ft island
Comments (8)Some quartz companies make bookmatched slabs, but you will need a great fabricator not to mess it up. I hope you aren't adding waterfall ends, as that will really complicate things....See MoreHelp with countertop selection
Comments (25)Will your floors be what is shown in the renderings? The background of Southport is more off white/beige that the white background of Bentley. If you have mostly black and white throughout your house, you might want to switch up the kitchen. Portrush has blue veins and not quite as dramatic as Bentley. I was looking at our counters when we got home tonight trying to envision black cabinets. I think it could work with black. I pulled out the warmth of the counters and you may be able to pull out the coolness with black cabinets?? But please consult with a professional as I have no idea what I am talking about lol. The only black items I had in the house were our North Face jackets haha! Southport does have some black dots and some black outlines. It's almost useless to post these pics because the colors appear more gray. In person they are a combo of beige/gray/taupe. I've tried several different beige, gray and taupe kitchen towels and cannot find anything that is even close to the colors in the counters. Do you have a Cambria showroom near you so that you can take your cabinet there to see how it looks? Good luck!...See Moreroarah
