Kitchen Survey

I have a strange new conversation starter......"so what kind of counter tops do you have and do you like them?" I went to work and asked that, I interupted a Pamper Chef party to ask that, (Sorry again Jeannie!!), I just seem to be asking everyone that lately. I think I am getting weird in my old age. You see....as noted from an earlier post....we are remodeling our home and have been for 3 1/2 years. So for 3 1/2 years I have dreamed of my kitchen. Well, now that Miguel has almost all of the dry wall hung upstairs I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for getting to FINALLY redo my kitchen. I started exploring counter tops options, since I have pretty much decided on my cabinets, and I was blown away about how many types there are out there. As this is going to be one of the most expensive remodel projects...I HAVE to get it right the first time. So, that is where you all come in. "What kind of counter tops do you have and do you like them?"

  1. I've had plain old for-mica for most of my life and it works out ok. In Tucson, we had (in two of the 4 places I lived in while out there... but that's another story for another blog ;)....) tile counter tops. I hated those. They were harder to clean and no smooth surface to roll out dough or anything.... extremely annoying!! If you can afford it I would highly recommend granite as it increases the resale value of your home, as well as lasts forever and looks fantastic!!! (Maybe see if you can find some remnant pieces somewhere so it's not quite so pricey!!!)

  6. I have some cheap stuff (since we are in a rental), but the good thing is that nothing seems to burn it! I would advise against that black rock stuff, because it is horrible to clean.
