It has been over a year since we renovated our kitchen, and I am still in love with our countertops. I get questions to this day regarding our choices, so I figured I could give an answer to the most asked question: what did you use for your counttertops?! We wanted marble but I had heard one too many stories about staining and too much upkeep.  We went with Lyra by Silestone and love it! Here are several options for your comparison, courtesy of theletteredcottage.net.
