Psychology 101

I am on the search for the perfect marble.

More like...

I am soul searching for what feels right.

The marble in this kitchen is pretty

but not 100% what I envision for my own.

WHY?

who knows?

maybe because the marble tooks more new

than vintage Paris patisserie?

Now this marble isn't 100% my idea either.

Pretty sure it's Calacatta Ducale.

The gold veining is prominant.

However,

I don't think I want gold-ish marble

ALTHOUGH...

I DO want gold hardware and lighting.

So...maybe I should seriously consider it?

It's definitely beautiful!

And the homeowner looks so happy :)

Another

Calacatta Ducale I saw yesterday?

with lots of movement

or powerful veining.

Some people LOVE the movement...

in fact from what I am learning

most peeps do.

Normally,

I don't prefer it

but I DO love this kitchen.

Which makes me wonder if I should love movement?

Now...here is Statuary marble.

It's the whitest marble with strong gray veins.

I learned that the whiter the marble...

the higher the cost.

Also strong veins don't cost more than weak veins in the same type of marble.

The Statuary marble I saw yesterday was my favorite.

However,

revisiting it today in "REAL" kitchens...

it may be boring?

Statuary marble.

Do I like it?

yes and no.

Here is a slab of Statuary

that I saw yesterday.

Gorgeous.

Another piece of Statuary that was hidden between slabs

was my front runner.

I was able to see enough of it to know it was my style

but not enough was exposed to take it's picture.

This slab would make someone very happy...
just not sure if that someone is
ME?

I also liked this slab of Calacatta
It looks most like the marble in the 1st kitchen picture I posted.
Less distinct veining which I happen to like
BUT...
it does have some gold.
However...
not as much as this next one...

Calacatta Ducale was amazing.
It has VERY distinct gray and GOLD veining.
Can you believe God made ALL this marble?
Makes me speechless...
and a part of me wants to display some of His most glorious artwork
in my kitchen.
Maybe...I need the distinct colors and movement?
This Calcatta Ducale is almost identical to the marble shown
in the 2nd gorgeous kitchen I posted.
BUT...
is it what I should do?
I don't have the answers yet.
But today's blogging has been very therapeutic for me.
thank you...
Lovin' It,
