a: i LOVE our countertops. the builder and countertop store guys advised against it. :) glad i went with what i wanted :) i am very honest though....you WILL get spotting. i wipe my counters daily with a washcloth. and dry them. but we live here! and its marble! so spotting will happen. we knew this though and it does not bother me. when guests come to visit you can not notice it UNLESS they specifically start to ask about the countertops and we angle our heads just right to see them. its a water spot on white so it blends in. if this bothers you then don't go with marble :) if not....go for it!

I love your table! I have been looking for something like that for a long time. Where did you get it?
About the marble counter, I have heard so many people say, "I don't mind the water stains" but have not had the chance to see a marble counter top in real life with stains. Would love to see a picture with the stains so I could get a feel for if I could live with the spots and stains. Thanks!
Do you use your prep sink very often? What is it's size?
oh I can live with a few water spots. Love that marble. If I ever have to remodel a kitchen again (hoping not too), I will go with marble. I love my current granite choice, but have always wanted marble!
This was so helpful and informative. My husband and I dream about building our forever home in the next few years and this is definitely something I will bookmark and reference in the future. Your kitchen is amazing!!! I follow cote de texas and you did such a good job getting the Sally Wheat look. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
absolutely stunning! thank you for sharing! i'm craving a new sink just like yours!!

printing this one out for my dream home folder. thanks for all of the info.
I just love your kitchen. As I start planning our kitchen redo I was wondering-what is the distance between your island and countertops?
do you know what color you used to stain the oak flooring?
This kitchen is BEAUTIFUL. I love the look and the feel of the lighting.
Just love your kitchen, especially the open shelving and expansive counter top for working. Lots of inspiration to take from here. Thanks for sharing.
I saw your link on 6th Street this weekend and I LOVE your home. Thanks for answering those questions, especially about the marble. I've been wanting marble for a long time and I'm glad to have someone's opinion who is living with them and living with kids. Thanks again!
LOVE your kitchen! Thinking about painting my cabinets a similar color to yours. Just curious what finish you chose and how it's holding up? Thank you!!
Hi! Love your Blog. I have a question that I cannot find the answer to....where did you purchase your kitchen table, does it have a name and who makes it??
Thank you.
