I’m currently using soapstone on a few kitchen remodels, and let me tell you:
I’m so thrilled to finally be able to do so!
Pictured here is the slab for one of the jobs. I absolutely love the veining.
I just love this material!
It has a richness and a unique look that is so appropriate for these two projects.
Both of the homes I'm working on are: A. very straightforward in design; B. homey; and C. comfortable. The only difference: One has a New England coastal feel, while the other has a bit of a country look.
But the one constant: that soapstone! It’s going to perfectly fit into both of them!
Take a look below at some of the soapstone counter inspiration I’ve found. I guarantee every pic will have you itching to install some in your kitchen! UPDATE: (And here's one of those jobs I finished with the soapstone countertops!)
