When it comes to kitchen. I like to keep it bright and clean, especially in a small house like mine. Just like a lot of people, I too, love love love marble. But I just can't handle the stains and etching. A friend of mine, who is a neat freak, has Carrera marble in his kitchen. Even his countertop got etched from a drop of lemon. I just decided since my husband drinks wine everyday and I don't really wanna to clean countertops everyday, then we should go with Caesarstone. We narrowed down the options to 3 options that most resemble natural stone.
Organic white-- is the most favorite so far. It's the brightest with some light blotchy patterns.
Frosty Carrina--has some light veining that similar to marble. I would say the patterns are so close to real stone. It has beige under tone to it.
London Grey--is a bit too grey for me. The color and the veining look like dirty marble. I'm a bit disappointed on this one cuz the photos look so nice on the Internet.

I have the EXACT same dilemma. I adore marble, but won't use it on countertops. Am contemplating white Caesarstone with real carrara subway tile backsplash, or Frosty Carrina with white subway tile backsplash. What backsplash are you using with the frosty Carrina?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing Organic White with white subway tiles. I think white caesarstone with marble subway tile is a pretty combination. We almost went with that combination too but we decided to save some money and use ceramic tiles.
DeleteI saw both Frosty Carrina and London Gray in person and find the London Gray amazing. No dirty look to me, and such realistic marbling. After hours of looking at real marble, many quartzites and granites, I finally have found my countertop surface. Great Bonus is durability. It's going to look smashing in my small kitchen and eat in panty, I just know it. Thanks Caesarstone and thanks stickybee for your blog!
ReplyDeleteI just had my mind set on a white countertop I guess. That's why I think London Gray is a bit too gray for me. You are right it's not dirty looking at all. I have marble in my bathroom and I find it very close London Gray.
DeleteAre you still happy with the organic white?
