[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did an ikea white gloss kitchen in our old house, and did white quartz counters on the walls, and carrera marble on the island. The kitchen was spectacular (and not that expensive), and we sold the house for $200k more than we paid, less than two years later - kitchen and painting being the only major upgrades. The kitchen was definitely what sold the house.

Our carrera did not stain per se, but if you looked at it from a particular angle, you would see what looked like watermark type blotches on it. Perhaps this is what people talk about when they say "staining"?  We used the island as our everyday dining table, and cooked every night in there, spilled red wine etc. Marble is very nice.

Don't do granite. It is very 2002 (and was tacky then too).  You only see granite in houses designed by low-end builders and/or people who just ask Home Depot or a similar level place to design their kitchen.  [/quote]

Again, granite is not tacky or outdated, certain styles are, in fact it is the most durable natural stone which gives it great beauty.[/quote]
