We need to decide on which countertops we will be going with as they are coming to template our kitchen on Monday and we’re still undecided as to which material to go with! (Ok, I should clarify that I’m the one who is undecided but my husband definitely wants the Caesarstone).

I’ve been absolutely obsessing about it. I am in love with Carrera Marble but have been warned that it’s very sensitive and needs to be treated/ sealed often. I feel like I’ve read millions of forums, blogs and articles on the pro’s and con’s. Those who are passionate about marble do not mind the upkeep and feel that the way it weathers just adds character. It’s been used for hundreds of years in Europe and I have to agree that I like the patina.

Caesarstone in contrast is quartz composite that is scratch, stain and heat resistant and comes in an array of colors and styles to choose from. Stress free when dealing with potential grape juice spills etc. We like the Stone gray color; it has texture and works well with our Carrera Marble 3×8 tiles for our backsplash.
