Sharon, love those green veins in your soapstone. What type is it? With my luck its only available in Canada. Also how thick is it?

how much I love your hood. Please tell me where you found this? Pretty please? I'm assuming I could have anything written on it or carved or nothing at all. Thank you. Everyone's soapstone is so lovely. Trish

It was actually here when I moved in except it was painted sky blue!! I didn't even wait to unpack my underwear before I painted that thing black LOL!!! It's really just a metal hood that was fabricated to fit the space exactly. I think you could get one like it from anyone who bends metal for a living. I put the sign "Rome" on it a few years ago.

I can't wait to have pics to share but that's about a month down the road. Katalina, yours is one of my fav kitchens. I really like the 'look' of it. btw, what is the tile in your master bath counter? I think that is what I'm going to use, or pretty close to the small ones.

Ms, the small ones in the backsplash are tumbled crema marfil. The top and shower are honed light travertine. Thanks!!

Katalina...thanks so much...

I thought it was soapstone with Rome carved in it. Pretty cool! Trish

TnTw--OMG! That would be awesome but way too heavy. It's just black painted metal with the sign velcroed to it!

DianWestieGirl: I don't know a name for the soapstone, but it was quarried in the Ottawa Valley, in Canada. I don't know how far they ship, but here is their website. (Canadian dollars are about .82 US$)
