Yours is beautiful. I am reading in the literature from Caesarstone about the honed finish and this is what it says, "Due to the nature of the surface design, it is recommended that common household spills like liquid droplets and rings are dried immediately. Additional care and maintenance may be required." What does this mean? I'm so nervous to do this.

In the former, the creamy-beige color works beautifully. In the master, I used a darker taupe color and while the look is great, it shows EVERYTHING: toothpaste, soap splashes, even water seems to dry leaving a mark that has to be wiped. For your sanity, stick with the lighter tones.

I ...Sherry, Love the look of the honed countertops! I didn't know that was even an option. I did a mini - makeover in my brother's kitchen and had grey Silestone countertops installed in late June. To my absolute HORROR, there are already two large chips on the edge from a minor mishap with a bowl of ice cream (totally my fault). Like you, we were sold on the "warranty" and durability of quartz. After some online research I am finding out that Silestone can chip rather easily and you can't put heat directly on it (meaning no crock pots, etc). Have you heard of such?? It looks like I am going to have to pay to replace the chipped slab (if we can find one that matches) but now I am worried there will be more chips/cracks in the future. :( SHA-BUMMED!!!
