Mix Butcher Block and Oiled Soapstone Laminate in Small Kitchen?
Comments (4)We are in the middle of new $1K makeover of our kitchen, and are installing laminate countertops in Basalt slate and a large black topmount Blanco sink. Our new backsplash will be faux aged-copper tin ceiling panels. While I can't speak to mixing wood and dark countertops, I have oak cabinets and lots and lots of wood, and we love the look. I have a few pics you can see now, and will try and post more tonight if you want to see the installed sink.

Comments (32)I am also in the process of redoing my kitchen, and I'm having the same problem trying to decide between Nordic white and bright white in Brookhaven Edgemont. What did you finally decide, and are you happy with it? We are in the process of installing Brookhaven bright white cabinets in our beach house. We were initially going to do nordic white, but our trim is BM distant gray, which is a very crisp white and the nordic white looked dingy next to it. I was really nervous that the bright white would have blue undertones but in our space, it doesn't. Having said that, we're going for a cooler palette...gray stained oak floors, BM sea salt walls, colonial white granite. If you want warmer tones, nordic white would be better. Hope this helps....See MorePlease help regarding laminate question
Comments (9)I think that both choices are very nice. I decided to go with the Basalt Slate, as I liked the texture of the honed countertop and the streaks of lighter gray running through it which looks like veining to me. However, I think the streaks are going to take some getting used to. As I was trying to wipe all the construction dust off the other day, I kept wiping and wiping and finally figured out I was trying to wipe off the light streaks! The Oiled Soapstone is also very pretty. I think it is more uniform in color, mostly black all over, and it has a smooth soft surface. I think your choice will come down to personal preference. Do you want a smooth countertop or one with texture? More uniform color or the appearance of veining? I think both are beautiful.

Comments (13)I think something lighter could be great too. What kind of lighting in the space? Windows? wall color? When you described the space, here is what came to my mind. This is expensive Creama Valencia but beautiful with the vintage cabs Is granite out of the question too expensive? The giallos, Santa Cecis, and medium light granties could be lovely. What about concrete? Glass? Copper? Stainless? Tile? Or even light painted wood? These might be a bit cheaper. My only worry about a laminate is that it will take away from the vintage look of the fruitwood stained cabs. Be careful on the edge she chooses. Something that will be subtle and not look like a laminate could be affordable and beautiful. Here are some visual ideas... ~bp Diana Pearl this is a silestone Ivory coast another silestone Soapstone ( i believe) Concrete Concrete (amazing to me) Corian Sorrel LG HiMac beach sand Granite Tile (cheaper and still beautiful) Slate (depending on what part of the world this could be cheaper than granite or corian or even laminate) Copper Prefab Formica butterrun from Lowes or HD...See Morequietlife3
