Countertops… here’s the skinny

Countertops are a huge part of your kitchen design. They set the tone of the space, they support the tasks you work through, and they are a great way to show off your style.

Sometimes they are OVERWHELMING because there are so many options, colors, materials and each ones have their own uses and features.

I don't want you to be overwhelmed, so I put together a quick overview of the pros and cons of my favorite countertop options.
Skip to the end of you want to see my favorite materials and how to use them!

If I had to pick a single favorite countertop material it would have to be Butcherblock.
It brings such a warmth to the space that can be hard to find in options like granite, quartz or marble. It adds in this beautiful natural movement through the area, not to mention the historic ambiance it can bring. I love matching materials and their uses to what we would have found hundreds of years ago in the glorious old world farmhouses.

Marble is a great option for a small station in the kitchen. We like to make candy and pastries with the kiddos and the temperature regulation in Marble is perfect to keep things from sticking. 

I always look at countertops as a way to bring in some beautiful, old world glory. These magnificent materials that are timeless and will age gracefully to meet the needs of my family as we grow and change is just something that I couldn't go without.
