Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate. It is known for uniquely having ancient aquatic fossils embedded it as a result of being formed in clear, warm, shallow marine waters. There are many limestone–forming environments around Earth, such as the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Mexico, around Pacific Ocean islands and within the Indonesian archipelago. Limestone is slightly softer and more porous than marble, so avoiding areas that experience a high traffic flow, particularly with acidic liquids, is best. Limestone will look fantastic as a bathroom vanity or bath surround because it provides a “beachy” look from impressions left on the stone by aquatic fossils and shells. It typically comes in natural colors such as grey, tan or brown and has a solid overall appearance. Its visual versatility makes it easy to accommodate any design scheme, which makes Limestone is especially perfect for renovations.

Butcher block is commonly crafted out of maple, oak, cherry, or walnut. It was originally used for preparing meat in butcher shops and has now become a popular design trend in kitchens. Butcher block provides a classic, artisan feel that will add a touch of character to any cooking space. Their natural appearance provides a warm and inviting vibe that creates a pleasant and charming environment. Butcher block is also eco-friendly because it is constructed from reclaimed lumber. Despite the attractive appearance of butcher block, there are some concerns when it comes to durability. A common misconception is that since butcher block is used as cutting boards that homeowners can freely cut on it. However, this is not the case. Cutting on butcher block countertops will leave scratches and dents that will have to be sanded down and refinished in order to be repaired. Although, this is a process that most homeowners will be able to do themselves, it is still time consuming and labor intensive. Even if homeowners are not cutting and chopping on their butcher block countertops, it can easily be damaged by daily wear and tear. This will cause it to look weathered and worn if not regularly cared for. The prices of butcher block countertops largely vary and are determined by the quality of wood. Let’s recap the pros and cons of butcher block.
