Re: Countertops....
We just did a quick-fix on our kitchen. The original cabinets were good, just all discolored, so we painted them. We could only afford formica countertops and I used the company KellyFG recommended to me. Bill did a wonderful job. We even had him back to replace our kitchen subfloor. I am very happy with the quality and it will definitely last until we do a major overhaul in 5 years or so.
I don't have any before pics at home, but here is the after... Image Attachment(s):

Your kitchen looks great. I wish ours was capable of looking so nice without ripping the whole thing out but the previous owner had horrendously crappy stuff. We did finally redo it but I would have loved to be able to do a quick fix when we first purchased.

Re: Countertops....
When we moved in our kitchen had white formica countertops - they showed stains and marks easily. Now we have a granite countertop (busy pattern) and love it....I don't find it hard to clean as you can easily wipe it down and I love the glassy shine it has to it.

Thanks It looked pretty cappy before we started. In fact, the floor was so bad that we had to get a completely new subfloor and that ate up a good bit of our budget. We also had to wallpaper the walls instead of painting as the previous owner wallpapered directly onto the sheetrock and we couldn't remove it

I'm not sure if I knew you used Bill, that is great! Isn't he the nicest guy?
Your kitchen looks great!

Re: Countertops....
When we redid our kitchen we went with Grainte and I am happy with them. The only thing that I don't like is that their is a ring around the soap dispencer because it is always wet but we also have a lighter color, its called Madre Gold. It is an ivory base with flecks of golds, coppers and browns. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Countertops....
We had black granite done about five years ago and I actually don't like it anymore - I think they always look dirty!! (sticky spots or whatever, or they look dull if spills, etc are cleaned wiht just a sponge or paper towel - they only look nice when I use granite cleaner).
I would LOVE butcher block but I know we (um, DH) would make a mess of them with stains and they'd be sanded down to nothing!!

Re: Countertops....
I'm getting my granite countertop put in next week YAY! I actually ended up picking New Venetian Gold (a slightly darker version than what I showed you).
I'll let you know what i think when it comes in! LOL

Do you have a warranty? If so, you should have them seal it again, if you have service on it they can most likely get the ring out
