Some years ago, I was thinking of quartz and wanting to replace the builder grade laminate but my other half said, "will our food taste the same if we change?" I would go for "high definition" laminate now...not sure how that compares in cost. We have had laminate in ALL of our homes. We built houses too so they weren't old. Being grateful and satisfied is key and not trying to keep up with the "Joneses" as my parents used to say. HGTV is fun to watch but for many it's caused dissatisfaction. Young folks want/desire what their parents had....just watch sometime. A bathroom (single), 3 bedroom starter is what many of us had back in the day. The family I grew up in were 6 in number---we lived in a bungalow that had 2 beds, one bath on the main floor. My dad finished the upstairs to make one closet and 2 bedrooms to accommodate the family. One bedroom on the 1st floor became a "study".
