Crate and Barrel Trivets

When we moved to our new condo in northern Virginia nine months ago from Capitol Hill, our new kitchen had a quartz island and countertops. The color scheme of the living room changed when we switched out our tribal Persian carpet and dark couch and chair  to seafoam blue and light furnishings to match the glass dining room table. Since quartz does not tolerate extreme heat, we’ve been thinking about getting a couple of trivets to protect the surface. We have an old Italian chipped tile trivet next to the stove, but wanted something a bit more decorative rather than strictly functional - like the silicone options - for the island. So my husband looked on line at what was out there and came across a pretty trivet that matched the color scheme at Crate and Barrel. After lunch today we took a ride out to Tyson’s and wanted to see how the trivet actually looked. I also had a 15% off coupon that would be used for that, a couple of fresh dish towels, and to replace what we thought was a broken glass. We liked the trivets and checked on the placemats too, but decided to wait on those since we only bring them out for meals and put them back again to store. Hopefully the new trivets will last a while. But if they don’t maybe metal or silicone would be good alternatives. It’s hard to believe we have been here nine months already. Slowly things are starting to become coordinated.
