Countertops Bring the Contrast “For the countertops, David was looking for a slate look with a matte finish,” she says. She sourced a quartz that looks like soapstone with a suede finish. Soapstone would have been found in a 1910 cottage back in the day. Quartz, an engineered surface, lends the look but is more durable. “The look-alike was the perfect choice,” Orndorff says. “It has a subtle vein pattern and a suede finish without the maintenance of soapstone or slate — no oiling required.” A bridge faucet and apron-front sink give another nod to vintage cottage style.
