We used Caesarstone in our MBR, PR, & Kitchen and just love the look and durability! The Dekton brand looks very cool and I’m impressed with the strength of it for outdoor use near a pool. Wish I could see the Spanish kitchen example in person, it looks AMAZING. It’s great however to have these technical updates with great looking photos, virtual shopping made easy!
Love Solid surrounds. As long ago as 1980 we would use plain white Formica as tub or shower surrounds for a cheap, clean cheerful look in small baths. We just pulled off a 20 year shower wall that had no leaking issues & still looked great. We’ve been using coriander as a kitchen backsplash for many years too, but it’s so exciting to see the newest designs, too.
Darn spell check...Corian as backsplash
