BLOG POST: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST COUNTERTOP FOR YOUR HOME
Counters are one of the most expensive finishes you will choose for your home. This fact ALONE makes this an overwhelming decision! Selecting a countertop doesn’t have to be hard though … all you need is a little info so that you can confidently choose the best countertop for your home.
In ‘How to Choose the Best Countertop for your Home’, I’ll compare three of the most popular (higher-end) countertop options for you: quartz, granite, and marble. The material you choose really just boils down to which option is best for YOUR family, YOUR lifestyle, YOUR level of maintenance desired, and (of course) YOUR budget.
BLOG POST: GRANITE VS. QUARTZ COUNTERS: A COMPARISON
Are you trying to figure out the best countertop material for your new home and you’ve narrowed it down to granite vs. quartzite counters? However, you’re unsure what the best option is or how these two natural products differ.
We’ll cover all of this in this rather lengthy (yet very informative) ‘Granite vs. Quartz Counters: A Comparison’ blog post so that you are ready to make an informed countertop decision for YOUR family’s needs and budget.
BLOG POST: QUARTZ VS. QUARTZITE COUNTERS: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
I’m not gonna lie … I decided to write this blog post because I personally didn’t know the differences between quartz vs quartzite 😉.
Like you (and even some designers), I didn’t know what set these two countertop options apart. I just assumed that people called quartz two different names. Well, friend, I was wrong and now I’m sharing everything I learned about what makes quartz and quartzite completely different products.
By the end of this (lengthy, but very informative) ‘Quartz vs. Quartzite Counters: What’s the Difference?’ blog post, you’ll understand the differences enough to confidently make the best decision for your kitchen … whether that be quartz or quartzite.
BLOG POST: PORCELAIN COUNTERTOPS: AN OVERVIEW
One of my favorite things about talking with members of my ‘Building Your Foundation’ Program is that I constantly learn about new products and finishes that weren’t available (or at least weren’t popular) when I built my home back in 2013. Recently I learned about porcelain countertops and, as always, I dug right into researching and learning all about this particular finish … and I’m sharing everything I learned in my ‘Porcelain Countertops: An Overview’ blog post :).
If you’ve heard about porcelain countertops and you’re curious about what they are and if they might be a good fit for your home, you’ll find this (in-depth) overview of porcelain countertops (complete with pros and cons) very helpful.
