Granite or quartz to go with outdated cabinets and floors?

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

Hi all, I'm struggling. My husband is finally giving ok to update our counter tops to granite or quartz. The problem is my cabinets are still dated oak and floor is typical 80's. I was hoping to find a counter top that would maybe add some update to my kitchen along with some tile backsplash and adding hardware to the cabinets to give us a little face lift. He said no to floors because we dont know how much that would entail from guestimation and with installation it looks like 1500 minimum and no to painting cabinets. His reasoning is fair, that we are only going to be here another 2 years or so hopefully before selling. He wants to wait to get our dream kitchen for our next house. I know he wants a nice kitchen as much as i do in our next home bc he is actually the cook of the family. Is there any suggestions i can do with countertops and backsplash that will help me feel like I'm not stuck in my 80's kitchen? We recently saw fantasy brown at slab yard and loved it but now im nervous it will be too busy for my cabinets. Help please??trying to figure out how to add some pictures
