Hi Brownstoners – I am finishing up a kitchen and came to the conclusion that a slate grey colored material would look good. I saw some grey limestone which was beautiful, but I hear it stains and absorbs oils, even if it is treated. Then I started looking into soapstone. It seems like it would be nice aesthetically, but is supposed to be pretty heavy. Would you be able to give me advice on soapstone?

– quality, durability, looks?

– Dealers in Brooklyn or nearby?

Granite would be too busy and shiny for this kitchen and the slate color nice but I need to find out more and go to a showroom. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thank you.
