I generally love all your design ideas, but I’m not sold on this one. I will caveat my opinion by saying that I’m definitely a more traditional gal when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, mostly because (as you mentioned) stuff WILL go out of style, and since kitchens and baths only get redone every 10-15 years, I like to keep styles that are more classic. I think the latter looks busy, and takes away from the other gorgeous things going on. That said, the ones that are more of a solid color are definitely easier on the eyes, than the ones that have the grain. It’s VERY modern looking (especially in some of your examples), and I don’t think it will appeal as well to all potential buyers. I love me some good stone, but I have to say, I’m not in love with the waterfall look. Also are waterfall edges trendy? Will we still be loving them in 10 years, or are they a new classic? What say you? Personally I prefer the look of a waterfall edge when the look is two sided and symmetrical on an island. I lean against it because of the angle of the peninsula, I’m not 100% convinced it will look right since it will only be on this one side and it requires a return. I lean toward the waterfall edge since 1) it’s awesome and 2) it will hide that contrast between the blue/gray cabinet and pony wall.

Here is the look of Caesarstone quartz on islands with a waterfall edge, I die they’re so purty. I’m torn for reasons shared below, but first a look at some waterfall edges to collectively drool over. Waterfall edges can elevate any space, bringing a continuous flow of color, texture, and countertop detailing, says CaesarStone’s Lori Shapiro. The style of this kitchen will be more contemporary so a waterfall could look amazing – it would be striking to look at you enter the kitchen, and would have a return where two counter stools sit on the other side. With an edge that cascades seamlessly to the floor, this expanse of stone can be a decadent focal point that links floor design with cabinetry. I have the choice between a classic horizontal surface that ends here or I could have it drop down to the floor with a waterfall edge. Meanwhile I have a decision to make on the edge of the peninsula and whether I should add a waterfall edge or not, here’s a quick iPhone pic I took this week (see actual colors of the cabinets and another view of the peninsula here.) I finally made a decision on the solid surface, I envisioned white quartz from the start so I’ll be working with Caesarstone in Pure White, it will be so beautiful when complete, I’ll share that next month. Yesterday I returned from a quick trip to visit the folks in Las Vegas and check on the progress of the fixer upper, things are moving along in the kitchen, I found my dream backsplash and the fabricators I hired came out to make the template for the new countertops.
