Granite Countertops in remolded kitchen
To Granite or not….that is the question. Granite countertops hum. Sure we love old houses and historic detail but we want a dishwasher right. Everyone wants easy clean up, simple surfaces. However will that huge piece of granite scream remolded in 2010’s, 20 years down the road?
My aunt used to write fiction for Good Housekeeping in the 70’s so my mom would save all of the magazines with her byline. Fast forward to 1985, I was purchased my first vintage house. Standing there looking at those magazines and cringing at Craftsman make overs. People happily taking old gum wood paneling and painting it baby blue Cringe. The blue is real; there was an amazing fixer in La mesa on the market in 2010 all the woodwork was blue. I think most of us can agree that the 70’s was not a design icon. I need to find the mags so I can post some photos….
Updating is good, but you need to respect the house. What works in a craftsman may not work in a Spanish. Perhaps in a Craftsman that piece of granite could be mat black quartz which mirrors soapstone.
Spanish Revival looks great with some sort of hex background
I think in a ranch style house solid surfaces and open spaces work really well.
