The Final Four
When I last spoke about our countertop selections I mentioned how we had narrowed it down to two different granites and two different styles of quartz. After getting it down to this point we basically needed to decide between granite (the ever-popular, natural stone) and quartz (the non-porous, low-maintanance, highly durable man-made product).
Here are the 4 granites I selected after a trip to the granite yard:
Left: White Spring, Top: White Macaubus, Right: White Delicatus, Bottom: Bianco Antico
Our number one choice was actually the White Macaubas (which is really a Quartzite stone – natural stone that’s less porous than granite) but it was a little bit too expensive. Figures, huh? But alas we do in fact have more then just the kitchen to renovate in this house!
After getting over the fact that we just could not have our first choice, we narrowed it down to these two beautiful granites:
As well as these two quartz selections:
Because we thought that any of the “Final Four” would look equally as beautiful, it all came down to budget. In the end we chose the Bianco Antico:
There’s about a 10 day turn around for the particular granite company we’re working with so we should have countertops by the end of next week!
