Real looking soapstone countertops

The ones that have been installed for awhile. After you’ve had soapstone for awhile, you’ll stop trying so hard to make them look new. They’ll get this beautiful down to earth look, sort of a dried/chalky look, opposed to freshly oiled counters. If you like this, you’ll love soapstone! The oil dries up a bit quicker around the sink, where there is sitting water. Take a look at these beauties:

HEARING MIXED REVIEWS ON SOAPSTONE?

So I’ve come to the conclusion, that it really depends on an individuals personality, whether Soapstone would be a good fit. You can decide what kind of tone you want these counter-tops to exude. Whether you want them to have a new DANIA type look, or let them accumulate patina w/an antiqued ANTHROPOLOGIE charm. It all depends on how often you want to apply mineral oil.
