It is no wonder, since they are pretty much maintenance free! They are non-porous, scratch resistant, highly resistant to stains, and most come with a 10 year warranty. They also do not have to be re-sealed like granite, marble, and recycled glass countertops. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dhSp8NMAax8/TkwO3YoKz5I/AAAAAAAABdE/uCU8tcp4aKI/s1600/blizzard+kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228px" naa="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dhSp8NMAax8/TkwO3YoKz5I/AAAAAAAABdE/uCU8tcp4aKI/s400/blizzard+kitchen.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div> Caesarstone - Blizzard<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--PgRYR3jRQg/TkwO_4xvM1I/AAAAAAAABdI/1hnBMltvqT8/s1600/haze+kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228px" naa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--PgRYR3jRQg/TkwO_4xvM1I/AAAAAAAABdI/1hnBMltvqT8/s400/haze+kitchen.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Caesarstone - Haze - a new color! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UxeU6eWucZE/TkwPH732lYI/AAAAAAAABdM/8VXLd0St5Mc/s1600/linen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228px" naa="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UxeU6eWucZE/TkwPH732lYI/AAAAAAAABdM/8VXLd0St5Mc/s400/linen.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Caesarstone - Linen - also a new color</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Caesarstone has even come out with several colors that contain recycled content.

It is so warm and inviting and I am very proud of it! The <a href="http://lacornueusa.com/products/cornufe">cornufe</a> looks stunning with it's copper accents and designer series <a href="http://www.ventahood.com/">Ventahood</a> hanging above it. The walnut countertop made by <a href="http://www.glumber.com/">Grothouse Lumber </a>adds warmth and contrast. The Thermador refrigerator, freezer, and wine unit all hide behind cabinet doors and give a nice furniture feel to the space. I used <a href="http://www.midcontinentcabinetry.com/">Mid Continent</a> cabinetry on the perimeters of the kitchen and <a href="http://www.cwpcabinetry.com/">CWP</a> cabinetry for the island. I will be posting more pictures of beautiful kitchens like this one very soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/245012248394697203-5949655026907983150?l=theartofthekitchen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kerry Flanaganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13786464992769773162noreply@blogger.com0
