So sorry! We liked it, but there was an issue with metal making little silvery marks on the counter. I’m not sure if it was the leathered finish, or what. Our stone guy didn’t seem to care, so we just lived with it.

We are moving soon, and our current kitchen has soapstone, which we chose and love the look of, but oiling it is annoying to keep up with, so I got lazy and stopped doing it. This has the look of soapstone without (I assume) all of the upkeep, so I'm curious if there were any negatives or maintenance issues for you? I'm really interested for my next kitchen!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152209221225281182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-48006449392603565962012-02-22T06:18:13.148-08:002012-02-22T06:18:13.148-08:00Looks amazing!

The tile backsplash definitely helped but there was still a small gap where it was the worst. However, since our countertops are white silestone and the backsplash is white subway tile, we were able to caulk it and call it a day. Maybe you can find some sort of silicone/ caulk that will pick up the color of your countertops and help disguise it? Looks great!!! Living through a kitchen remodel is tough, but SO worth it in the end.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189526001659592159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149136651520192500.post-27845690425343338982012-01-27T06:56:31.103-08:002012-01-27T06:56:31.103-08:00Dude, I need to get our kitchen on your timeline! ...Dude, I need to get our kitchen on your timeline!
