Tess, I’m an Architect. Onyx is NOT a good choice for Kitchen counters! It’s SO beautiful but it’s incredible porous and delicate and it will stain, etch, and chip with all the demands of a Kitchen. See if you can find a pink Cristallo quartzite - it will be much more durable.

Tess, girly, did anyone at the stone yard talk about the durability of onyx and marble 😳 how about a porcelain that look like these that are more durable??? Rosa Quartzite is also stunning!!

You should look at Emma Chamberlain's kitchen for reference, I'm not sure what stone she has but it definitely matches the general idea

I don’t see any discussion regarding porousness of the stone you’re looking at. Onyx is a porous stone that is susceptible to stains and etching, requiring regular sealing and careful cleaning. Its porosity means it can absorb liquids, so spills should be wiped up immediately. Though it’s lovely, it will be WORK to upkeep. Maybe pivot again to something less care-intensive.

I have onyx in my kitchen — absolutely stunning to look at, but not practical for everyday use. I ignored a few warnings because I loved the look and thought I’d be careful enough. But even with regular sealing and careful cleaning, mine have ended up scratched, stained, and etched in under five years. I wish I’d known that before choosing it — I did tons of research and maintenance, but it still shows a lot of wear.

As an architect the onyx with the pistachio cabinets is so fun!! But also as a content creator your kitchen needs to enhance you and i think the lighter cabinets will harmonize so much with you and your family (coloring wise) and your wooden floors
