Florence Madani: Gray caesarstone and a white vanity will tie-in beautifully with the Carrera, go with that.

Ishrat: Marble is a popular application for vanity top. It is sealed to form a protective layer. Kitchen on the other hand is a disaster with marble top because of all the oils and hot pans ect.

I was told that marbles are not good for bathroom vanity top. we are using carrara for our bathroom floor (honed), do you think it would discolor or not wise to use for top. Please advise.

Robin: Mainly because marble, even though quite fragile when compared to granite, is still the traditional choice for bathrooms. Also, you won't have food, pots and pans in a bathroom so the risk of damaging the marble is minimal. Going back to your initial question, as I've stated, no one is holding you back. Just don't expect the marble tops to stay perfect forever.

I read what you wrote. I have been doing my homework and I had read no marble for kitchen. But these are not kitchens for design, these are real working kitchens in real homes. I was surprised also. Further, if marble scratches, stains and chips, why would I want to use it in bathroom or anywhere for that matter !?

Robin: Most of the kitchens in magazines are not used to cook in. They're more of a "design accessory" so to speak. No one can stop you from using Carrara or other marbles in your kitchen. But you should be aware of the way marble ages. With time you'll get stains, scratches, chips, and eventually a patina will cover the surface. If you're in for that rustic look - go for it.

I would like to use the Carrara white marble in my kitchen too. And they say granite in the kitchen. But in every magazine, suddenly, I am seeing this white marble !!!

I have recently come across some 'white carrara' that has green veining - I am not kidding. They are quite beautiful. Do you have these on your site?

indus: Statuary White or Bianco Statuario does in fact come from the same region Italy (Carrara). It can also come from Tuscany or Apennines. It's much purer than White Carrara and contains much less of the grey veining.

Please tell me about 'statoury white" in the context of White Carrara - they appear to be the same except that the statuory white is " whiter" - are they from the same place in Italy?

indus: It's mostly due to the lighting conditions. The stone itself isn't that much darker, but it does have a slightly cooler tone.

Why is it so much darker than the 'other' carrera - the 460 ?

Pamela: It's marble. Be prepared that even after it is sealed, it will stain. Marble is very porous.

I want to use this in my Kitchen for countertops, but have been advised against it because of staining and maintenance. Any suggestions? Once I seal it, how often will I have to reseal?
