[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But f not granite, then what? Or is it the dark piece on the island that's revolting some? I'm remodeling my 1987 (!) kitchen bit by bit & have painted white the nasty oak cabinets & changed out appliances, but the countertops are the biggest PITA because granite feels personal, but quartz (my preference) is still looked down upon. In a traditional townhouse, there aren't that many options that will blend in. [/quote]

Who says quartz is looked down upon??  I would definitely do quartz over standard polished granite.  In higher end kitchens, most buyers are going to be looking for marble or soapstone (or maybe honed granite).

Thanks! [b]I prefer quartz, but a couple of realtors and decorators have suggested that local buyers turn their noses up at it.[/b] I wonder if it's the HGTV phenomenon- must have stainless and granite and apron sinks or it's just too blase for words. In a NoVa townhouse, I just can't see adding marble or soapstone- they're absolutely gorgeous, but too high-end for this neighborhood. Plus, they scratch and stain a bit more than quartz. I need something that resists both wine and koolaid splashes right now![/quote]

Quartz is a higher-end finish than granite and more practical to boot.  [b]DC is often behind the times in terms of style trends. [/b] [/quote]

This is true, and NOVA is behind DC.[/quote]
