    As an interior designer that is mostly doing kitchens, trust me, dont put marble in your kitchen! As you said, its is a pain to live with, especially in a kitchen where theres wine, sauce, etc. Its more for bathrooms or decorative purposes. I did like the veines in it but the Quartzite is soooooo beautiful! Its not only the look (which most commenters in favor of the marble are saying) its the material. For what I know you'll pay for, even with sponsors, you have to think about the life of the material. Go Quartizte, go!

    The contrast between Kelsey and Becky's decision process is crazy. Becky is so much more go with the flow, bold and I'll make it work whereas Kelsey's is months of indecision and second guessing. It's great that you guys show both processes.

    For the lights above the island, I think two junction boxes would be better than one. First because the island is longer and two hanging lights will make it look substantial. Second because you will have one light hanging above the dining table so this will give a good contrast with the lights above the island.

    Lone fox did calcatta in his new home and did a very cool and simple process of having them ‘laminated’ to prevent staining, etc. Should check it out! I very much prefer that to the quartzite.
    I will say it is VEEERY trendy, right now. Which means it could go out of style in a big way when people get tired of seeing it everywhere. And it is *quite* a statement. But if you don’t really care about things like that, no worries. It is absolutely beautiful, imo.

    Quartzite for two reasons: #1 long term maintenance, trust me the constant worry and care of real marble will get old real fast - especially after the first red wine splash. #2 I believe the real marble is gorgeous, and the super obvious veins are gorgeous....while in a big huge slab. Once that gets cut up into smaller strips and laid end-end (for me) it then begins to look like zebra stripes, which isn't my vibe. I prefer the subtle and calming movement of the quartzite. It sure has been a joy to watch your channel over all these years and see your life expand from college students to full-blown adults!!!

    I think the two stones are very comparable in looks, but I also think maintenence on the quartzite will be so much better! When we built my home, the things in my kitchen I appreciated most, were all the electrical outlets we installed, the cabinet for bakining pans, tons of large drawers, stove top and vent in the island (vent raises up) , and the indispensable appliance garage. 14 years later, I wish we had painted, and not stained the cabinets, but that's easy to fix. Oh, and after all this time, the one seam in the granite, is now separating slightly. If you do have to have seams, ask them to reinforce them from the bottom as well. Gotta figure out how to fix mine.

    i’ve had honed Mystery White Marble counters in my kitchen for a decade, never sealed them since install and yes they get stains and etch and all that but they are beautiful and aging so well. I would still choose them again. Personally I think a slab with more veins and contrast would be interesting in your kitchen because it can be like abstract art. I have soapstone in a primary bath that is all the pattern needed. Quartz is so expensive because it’s engineered and usually you have to pay for the whole slab whereas natural is usually just the sq ft needed. Everyone learns so much from each reno project, kitchens are different each time.

    If I had to choose I would do the green! I loveee! Keeping it earthy and cozy and still have the clean and rich look

    Soooo exciting because I, myself am FINALLY getting my kitchen completed after 2 years. Long story short, I’ll never use lowes or home depot for a kitchen remodel ever again oml. I just picked out my hardware and they still have to put the toe kicks, and a side panel on. Not sure how long that will take but I can finally do my dishes and I never thought I’d be so excited to do dishes but after not having a kitchen, let alone a sink for so long, it’s stress relief.

    I think the quartzite is a better option - it looks good and it’s way more durable.

    It seems like pretty much everyone is team quartzite but with all the other green in your house I really love the marble! I feel like the quartzite is kind of one note and the marble would add a lot of depth to the space

    Hi Kelsey: you’re lucky to be able to use another kitchen, making the most of it and taking your time over your decisions were the right things to do. Don’t take marble. Please. Everything else is fine. Seeing your face when things were being put up will make anyone realise how painful it is to make choices and decisions about one’s very important everyday spaces. The kitchen is indeed the most important that way. All the best! I’m sure you’ll rock it when the time comes, you always do!

    i’ll go against the majority and say the calacatta marble looks so classic and outstanding in its own way! it gives a pop of element amidst the dark kitchen - classy but outstanding in its own bold way!
