After months of complaining {19 to be exact}, husband-to-be finally agreed to get new counter tops for our kitchen - yay! It all actually started when we were looking for houses. One of my must-haves was a garbage disposable. Of course the house we chose didn't have one so I made HTB promise we'd install one someday. Well after living in the house a few months, I decided if we were to install a garbage disposable, we should probably replace the sink and if we were to replace the sink then we should probably also replace the counter tops {perfectly logical, right?!}.
Here's where you come in....help me choose my counter tops! Which color would you go with in our kitchen? {PS the cream cabinets are staying, but we are planning to replace the backsplash}
Here's some inspiration photos:

| The safe choice - sand colored with dark brown flecks. |

An afforable option - butcher block with a marble backsplash.

You could also mix it up and do wood and stone depending if you have separate areas. I have granite in my kitchen and am in LOVE with it. Truly. Mine is darker with warm tones and it hides everything. It easily cleans up with soapy water and then I follow with Windex (no ammonia) or equivalent.
ReplyDeleteYou can get samples from where you purchase it from and see what you like. I had 3 samples that I stared at for days, but ended up settling with one that is less busy.
Also, I ended up go to a granite dealer who provides the stone to Home Depot. I was able to get a larger selection and cheaper price believe it or not. Check out remnants too if you don't have a lot of area to cover.
I think your cream cabinets are great. You could even play around with adding very thin trim on the door front to give them some depth.
Have fun!
