Countertops are more than just an afterthought! We work on them, eat off them and they represent some of the most vital surfaces in our homes, so they matter. Interior designer Anne-Marie Barton likes to start with the countertops, and base her entire palette of ideas from there. Follow along as she walks you through countertop selection, starting with a trip to the slab yard to see a world of options including limestone, travertine, marble and quartzite. She’ll show you beautiful alternatives to commonplace granite tops that are a bit too full of drama for the more calm and peaceful palettes of today’s design trends.

What is an organic look?
Personally I think quartz is way prettier than granite.
This is the snobbiest video I have seen lately.
I hate natural stones..
Bash it all you want, but I still love my granite.
Everyone (including me) is super afraid of marble in a kitchen, but, trust me, I've been to the slab yards, all of them in my area & the thing is, I was going to go with quartz, because everyone talked about the durabilty of it & the mable-like looks, I don't think it looks nearly as nice, I find it kinda boring & I'm someone who wants an all white kitchen, so it would be very easy to get that with quartz. Then comes granite. Maybe it's because I've had granite in my kitchen & want something that's not so busy, but, I can't find a white granite, at least one that is actually white without a lot of black mica in it to save my life. Marble, yeah, that scares me, but, I love love love marble, I'm so drawn to it, which brought me to quartzite, I don't seem to find much quartzite in my area slab yards & quartzite tends to be the most expensive choice, so it's fustrating. You hear such conflicting stories, it makes you just want to give up & do laminate!
Anne Marie has a bunch of other really great videos on youtube !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcIKlxsGpdw
I redid my bathroom about two years ago with a wild and bold multicolored granite (greens, oranges, beige, brown) and traditional dark brown cabinets, and every time I walk into my bathroom I STILL think "Oh how beautiful!" I'm about to redo my kitchen, but am confused about how busy the pattern should be for the countertop. I love the fact that granite looks like a piece of art, but I've read it's better to stay more subtle. Has anyone out there put in one of the beautiful artistic (bolder) granites in their kitchen and gotten tired of it after a few years? I'd love some feedback.
Are beiges and browns totally out? I love them, but all I see is whites and grays?..
Where can I purchase this hexagon backsplash that is in the beginning of the video where Anne’s name is shown? This backsplash tile is beautiful. I enjoy watching your videos. They have given me many ideas like loving this backsplash. I’d like if you would give me the name and where I can purchase this hexagon tile. Thank You!!
i wish i could have personal tutorials with you.
Your Material Matters series has been so helpful. I will be remodeling a bathroom and kitchen and you have given me so many great tips. Thanks
