Remember THIS post from a couple of months ago about my love for a solid slab backsplash? Well, I am going for it. The quote wasn't as terrible as I thought and I know that it will be worth every penny.

Now my decision is what marble to go with since there are many to chose from right now. Here are the slabs I am considering, all very different and beautiful in their own right.
Statuario Marble
This is what I am leaning towards, the veining is just stunning....
Bianco Carrara
Your typical run of the mill white marble. One benefit, it is the least expensive, but besides that a bit overdone in my opinion...
Manhattan White
This is the marble that is going in one of our Montogomery homes...loving it but possibly a bit too busy for the amount that we will have...
Arabescato Vagli
A new stone that our supplier just selected while in Italy, I have yet to see it in person, but I am think like the Manhattan White it may be too busy...
Calacatta Carrara
Oh hello lover!! Another slab selected in Italy that I have yet to see in person. The main concern I have is in this photo there seems to be a rust spot on the upper left portion of the slabs. While we can work around that I need to see it in person first before making a firm decision.
Onice Mediceo
Now this one is not for my kitchen but I had to share this image with you. It is natural, not man made...I am so excited to see this slab in person when it arrive in Canada.
I think it will come down to seeing them all in person side by side. I want to make sure I select one that will work well with match-booking and also one that has some warmth to the tones. Are you drawn towards any particular slab that I posted here? If so let me know, I would love some input! Mel xo
