Wow. Who knew...glad we're getting butcher block countertops!
I know...I heard that too.....I really want soapstone. The Husband wants granite. I want butcher block on the island.
But I have not idea when we will ever really need them.
We also plan on butcher block. It's probably the most historically correct, though I think soapstone would be correct as well. But butcher block wins as the most affordable and easiest to install by ourselves (by himself).
But I have often imagined hanging a big piece of granite on the wall as art. Some pieces are just too, too beautiful. Now I won't be dreaming that dream any more.
Whoa, and the reason WE didn't go with granite is because we heard that you have to "seal" it a couple times a year. Now of course I have to research quartz to see if it has any similar problems.
