[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marble does not stain easily.  I can guarantee you that no one who claims that actually has marble counters.  We cook all the time.  I have a DH who loves to cook and is a total slob, plus two messy sons.   We spill- red wine, balsamic vinegar, tomato sauce, soy sauce, mustard- you name it.  And we drink red wine all the time too.  You will not find a single stain on my marble.

My contractor tried talking me out of the marble because of the "staining."  I'm so happy I ignored his advice and instead relied on the experiences of all my friends with stain-free marble.  We are looking at moving and the first thing I'd do to any new house would be to tear out the granite (or quartz or whatever is in the old kitchen) and replace it with marble.  It's a beautiful, easy look.

PS- Personally, I cannot stand the look of Silestone.  It looks like fake marble, granite or limestone, plus it's full of triclosan, which is toxic.  Just use the real thing.

And to answer your question, yes, I think marble will look great with IKEA cabinets.  Enjoy!

+1.  Or you're just very good about cleaning up immediately, which is great.  Any liquid that's allowed to dry on Marble will enter the pores and create a watermark/stain.  We've got it in our masterbath and while it still looks great at a distance or on a glance, there are tiny little water marks all over it that are visible when the light hits them the right way.

I think marble kitchen counters are gorgeous, but they 100% require more maintenance and immediate attention ... i.e., like during the cooking, not after dinner.[/quote]
