We might have a BINGO!
In my continuing saga of countertops I have known — and I have had them all — I now must tell you about my current northern house countertop.
When we bought this one, to northern downsize, a few years ago, I thought about changing the Corian countertop in the kitchen. But the more I thought about it, the sillier the idea felt…….
The house is a custom build, just over 20 years old, with high quality work, inside and out. (The people who built it knew what they were doing.)
Anyway, the kitchen was done with a plain, light cream color Corian with a very nice undermount, oversized, stainless double-sink. The backsplash was done in neutral shades. Neither choice screamed for its own attention, like some countertops and backsplashes can do.
I am so glad that I decided to just let those original choices be. The people who chose them stayed so neutral in colors and design that I am still happy with what was there to begin with.
The only thing we changed in the kitchen was to replace the original faucet with a gooseneck.
I like stainless steel sinks a lot, if they are high quality and do not go Pop, Pop. This one is definitely a low gauge. (Seems counter-intuitive that with stainless sinks, the lower the gauge, the heavier, higher the quality.) A good quality stainless sink and a can of Bar Keeper’s Friend have kept me happy with my choice not to start over.
Whatever you do, I wish you well. And thanks for the thread with a little, light discussion and conversation.
