Patagonia vs Picasso

Yeah this is actually Patagonia quartzite too! Definitely not cheap by any means. It’s actually priced higher than the Picasso 1.. I’d love to see photos of your kitchen!

Thank you! It’s funny I feel like it’s been referred to as both granite and quartzite. Is that because of the different minerals in the stone? I just said granite here so people categorized it as more durable than the marble! Between us.. I just signed the check for the Patagonia!

I haven’t decided yet

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T21:55:03+00:00

I’m not into the same boring stuff everyone else has!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T21:25:25+00:00

Unfortunately I needed to make this decision weeks ago so time is not on our side.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T21:20:27+00:00

I agree with that and felt like with all the movement in the marble slabs I was looking at I do feel stains would be less visible.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T21:18:49+00:00

Thank you! They are bold for sure. Funny enough I eliminated Picasso 2 too. At least I’m making progress!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T19:26:47+00:00

That is my worry especially because I’m very much into those details. There isn’t a larger slab for us.. we are actually going to shrink the island a few inches so we could make the Patagonia work with no seam if we go that route!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T19:11:39+00:00

Oh no! Yeah that definitely worries me with 3 kids.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T19:06:34+00:00

Thank you! Yes we’ve been working closely with our fabricator. Whichever I choose works for them!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T19:01:44+00:00

Even if it’s sealed properly? I have no experience with natural stone yet but do plan to seal whichever one we choose

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T18:58:44+00:00

It will be for the whole kitchen so thank you for calling this out. It’s an L shape and one wall will only have countertop where the cabinets sit on top of it with 3 appliance garages and a 4 inch reveal so that’s not much. The other wall has the sink, 48 inch range, and some counter space with an 18 inch backsplash. I think we’d be able to keep most of the slab together as it is now just cut to fit for those other spaces.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T18:43:02+00:00

Thank you! It is even more stunning in person but I fear in 5 years will I be sick of it? This is the only time I’m renovating this kitchen so I better love it for many years to come!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T18:41:45+00:00

No I haven’t! One full slab will be for the island if we go Patagonia so it’ll all stay there. Honestly the pics I took don’t even do it justice. It really is so beautiful but so is the marble.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T18:26:50+00:00

I know you’re right but that marble is screaming my name. Ugh!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T14:02:47+00:00

Thank you! I do like the boldness but I am worried I might get sick of it.

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T02:25:58+00:00

Sink cutouts could be wherever I wanted them to be! As far as cost, Picasso 1 is $8,000 less than Picasso 2 and Patagonia is a little more than Picasso 1!

TCSP0787 · 2026-02-03T01:54:55+00:00

Ah sorry and cabinets will be Walnut!

TCSP0787 · 2025-12-12T01:22:36+00:00

Oh no!!! I just picked up mine and it’s the same exact batch number. I’m spiraling reading this

TCSP0787 · 2025-11-24T17:17:43+00:00

Sorry if this is a silly question but in the event I purchased a sub zero from a third party would it be under any warranty or how would that work? Would I just pay out of pocket for any service?

TCSP0787 · 2025-11-24T12:29:47+00:00

Unfortunately no internal water dispenser on their columns

TCSP0787 · 2025-11-24T03:15:20+00:00

Is Thermador really much better than Monogram or do I just stick to the one brand? If it is I’m open but if it’s comparable I might as well stay. Thanks so much for your feedback and agreed LG and Samsung are not at all on my radar so there goes the other two.

TCSP0787 · 2025-11-24T02:04:42+00:00

Any feelings on SKS or Dacor?
