A little over a year ago our kitchen went from this...

white kitchen with faux painted marble countertops, hydrangeas on the counter, and brass lighting and hardware

to this...

The change is subtle, but I hope you can see the difference.

Can you see it? We finally swapped out our painted marble countertop for real marble. We originally planned to put quartz in here for its durability and stain resistant properties, but my mom and I spent several days at multiple stone yards and we just couldn't get over how beautiful the marble was...

and how boring all of the quartz looked...

So when we found some Azerocare sealed slabs that promised protection and durability we were intrigued. They weren't cheap (about double the cost of the quartz we had been looking at), but they were truly stunning.

We decided to pull the trigger and go for it. I'm planning to share more soon on the Azerocare treatment and how they have been holding up, but for now. Let's just admire the kitchen! It's finished!

One other major change we made in here was replacing the off white subway tile backsplash with the Bedrosians Chloe ceramic tile. It's seriously so stunning. I also had the idea to take the tile up all the way in the corner behind the sink and it turned out so good. Best. Decision. Ever.

I'm sure we will make some tweaks to the kitchen in the future (these cabinets could use a fresh coat of paint), but for now we are just enjoying this kitchen. We won't be taking it for granted for one second.
