| About to do a bathroom remodel and we're unsure what to choose for our new bathroom countertop. What did you choose and why? We're leaning towards marble or quartz. Also, is there a good showroom in VA to go to to look at different countertops? Thanks! |

How coincidental! I posted something about this a few days ago.
I went with quartz since it is a bit more durable and it isn't our forever house. We looked at stone place in Merrifield and liked them but their charge to install was high. It looks like we are going with a place called Granite Center in Sterling. The stone seems to be around the same price but they install for free. |

| I did marble on counter, but corian on the floor. I'm totally obsessed with the floor. It has a great feel and isn't slippery. Very easy to clean, too. It was a last minute decision after the marble went in. I just didn't want an entire room of marble; too much like a mausoleum. |

| Honed marble on counter. Compatible honed marble tile for floor and shower. |

Marble is not a great option. We did it and regret it. The finish gets ruined pretty easily. If you are super careful and don't use a lot of hairspray or makeup, go for it.
If you have someone clean your house, be careful. They often use harsh cleaners that ruin it. |

| We did carrera mable in one bathroom years ago and regretted it. It got stained over time. the last few bathrooms we've done have been quartz and we've been very happy with the look and durability. My only problem with quartz is that the patterning never looks as natural as marble or granite. |

| Super white quartzite. The stone place really discouraged marble. |

| I did marble and hate how easily it stains. |

| Are you people not using a good sealer on your marble? Mine does not stain. I don't have it in the bathrooms yet, but have it as my countertops in the kitchen and laundry and we'll as my backsplash in both rooms, including behind the stove. No matter the amount of red sauce, coffee, or red wine spilled the marble does not stain. And I do not have to re-seal it every year. |

| Super white Quartz here too - and a light gray tile floor. |

| We found a unique smaller piece of granite. It's beautiful and lent itself to pretty tile options. |
