Cultured marble may be inexpensive as a countertop and wall covering material – but it is not durable. Culture marble carries no warrantee and is suseptible to yellowing, haze, and crazing. If you are looking to get the most “bang from your buck”, and not just a quick fix, look into solid surface materials (like Corian, Swanstone or Meganite). They are repairable, carry 10-year warrantees and are still less expensive that stone.

Pocket doors are wonderful in any small space.
