We were wondering what the latest trend in kitchen and bath design is so we turned to designer Vicki Dreste (314-308-5759, victoriadreste.blogspot.com) to find out what’s catching her eye. It turns out to be marble. In her words: “For a decade or more, granite was the predominate choice for counters in kitchens and baths. It is strong, durable and adds a natural element to a space.
“Marble has now returned to the forefront. Classic, with a softer look than granite, it is also strong and durable. Marble will age with a time-worn elegance.
Design clients of mine who prefer marble described it as serene, calm and earthy. One client particularly favors the patina created by her family's life activities.
If you are considering renovating or updating your kitchen or bath, using marble will give you an elegant, usable counter. Could be exactly what you are looking for.”
