Dear Tom,

I love the look of carrera marble and soapstone. You know, that old fashioned farmhouse look. I am planning creamy white mission style cabinets with walnut stained hardwood floors and slate tile in the entry. The faucets and cabinet hardware will be bronze. Can you suggest a granite with better durability than marble or soapstone with a similar look? Would the stone be honed or polished? Thanks for you help.

Diane

Hello Diane,

I understand your intent and it is good to consider granite for the durability if you can find one that works. I would suggest Bianco Romano, polished. However, go to www.GraniteStock.com and do a search of all the white granites. I just checked and there are about 40 different ones with photos of each. You can also see where they are in stock near you.

Best wishes,
Tom Cordova
