Countertop Choices--Quartz. Pretty Please, Help!
Comments (6)You are just replacing the doors, not the cabinet boxes, correct? If you decide to replace the cabinets -or- you can move your cabinets around, I strongly recommend moving the DW & Sink to the left and putting the drawer stack b/w the sink and corner - that would give you a really nice stretch of counter for your Prep Zone! Right now, you have very little workspace where it's needed the most - b/w your water source (the sink) and the range. You have an island? I don't see it in the pictures. And, you want to add a peninsula? You do not appear to have room for an island in your Kitchen, especially if you add a peninsula. What will the purpose of the peninsula be? Just to add seating? Unless you're moving other items, it won't add anything for the primary work zones (Prep, Cooking, Cleanup) b/c they will all be in one small corner - the corner b/w the sink and range. Regarding colors... How "white" are your cabinets? Pure white? Off white? Other? (It's hard to tell on a computer monitor as computer monitors usually do not show true colors.) I would be careful that you don't get a counter or backsplash that makes the cabinets look "dirty" or brings out undertones of yellow or blue - unless that's what you're going for. There's a thread right now from someone who thinks her cabinets look yellow b/c of her backsplash and counter. Can you hold off selecting a counter for now? If so, then I suggest you wait until you have your new doors in and you've re-painted your boxes (assuming you're keep them). I would also paint the walls and refinish the floors. Once you've done all that, I would then bring home some large samples of both your backsplash and counter choices to compare - materials can look different depending on several things such as the angle (horizontal for counter, vertical for backsplash), wall color, cabinet color, flooring, and even lighting - both daylight and artificial light. (If you're keeping your cabinet boxes, you may have to paint them to match the doors - I doubt you'll get a perfect match to your current boxes.) Personally, I've always liked darker counters with white cabinets, but that's my preference, not yours. BTW...your link did not work, here's a link for the Winstead door that I hope works: http://www.aristokraft.com/products/winstead?prod={B24B42C8-3349-440B-9685-F0190C182820}...See MoreWhere do we stop backsplash?
Comments (7)Thank you Dawn, that is a nice idea! I I don’t want it to be busy (=grout line busy or patterns) And the simple larger tiles will accomplish that! We like that simple look. I’ll look into some larger format tiles based on your suggestion for sure. . My husband has finally abandoned the floor tile on wall idea (yes!!!) but now he wants thin porcelain tile slabs in white to cover the entire wall. I like the large format they come in so I’ll take a look at that as an option too....See MoreWhich Benjamin Moore White to go with Cambria Britannica?
