Goodness this took so many trips to Seattle to figure out and is a relief to check it off our list! We'd chosen a granite months ago, but the current inventory was very brown/gold, so we had to start over. But we'd already chosen a sink color and backsplash tile, so the new counter had to work with both. Templating for the countertops happens 2 weeks from today, and the fabricator needs the slabs in their shop in Woodinville by that date, so we were running out of time to make a decision. Pressure!
This is a polished quartzite, very durable. It will be in the kitchen, office nook, laundry, and Maya's bath. We opted to go with this in the laundry and bath instead of the limestone we'd put on hold last week because it's a tougher material and better color for those cabinets. These 4 slabs aren't sequential, but the coloring works and it looks great with our cabinets and backsplash tile. Done!
