Fantasy Brown KITCHEN Countertops
Comments (5)I really love the look of Fantasy Brown, and it would go with my house. But, I am remodeling my kitchen that currently has dark granite countertops, and I am used to putting hot pots on it, and I have never had any problems with staining or etching. I know that FB is not granite, and I will use a trivet to avoid putting a hot pot on it like my granite. But, I am concerned about etching and staining. Do people still recommend it after having it for a few years?...See MoreOyster White vs Lennon vs Fantasy Brown granite for Off-White Kitchen
Comments (14)Thank you very much for the advice. I like Fantasy Brown a lot. I am not sure if it would work in my counter with the seam at the corner. It seems like pieces of Oyster White or Lennon are easier to join together discretely. Also, with the small appliances on the counter - microwave, toaster, coffee maker and kettle - I am not sure how much granite flow I will be able to see at a time. Is Oyster White look too simple in your opinion? What backsplash do you suggest to make it more visually interesting? What color of the floor tile is the best? My kitchen opens to the hallway/living room with red oak floor. I prefer not to have hardwood in the kitchen....See MoreFantasy brown counter with SW Ancient Marble & Greek Villa Walls
Comments (4)You can't look at your paint samples flat on the counters ... you are never going to see the actual colors in that orientation. Paint some larger boards and place them vertically in front of the cabinets. You could actually fit a large piece of painted sheetrock in the spot your DW is going. That would give you are pretty accurate idea of how that color will look. It is going to look a lot darker and greener on the face of the lower cabinets, than it does sitting on the counter under the window....See MoreBacksplash & paint for fantasy brown counters
Comments (2)simple white backsplash......color of year is peach fuzz / persimmon. note the blossom color in this...find paint swatches ...stay quite pale but that shade will work w the greens/ grays in counter .....and youre on trend ..... and floor will look good [ a big plus] . a muted version here ...and last pic---- a more vibrant take......See MoreKim Q
