Kitchen Counters


We ordered the kitchen counters today. We chose soapstone and found what we wanted at M. Teixeira (soapstones.com) Denver facility. They will be shipped out next week. Here is a sample of the stone for the yet to be built island.

We chose the soapstone as it is heat and stain resistant. You treat the counter twice a year with mineral oil. Scratches can be sanded out and mineral oil applied to "fix" them. We wanted a rustic look and didn't like any of the shiny type counters.
