What's the next big thing in KITCHENS????

[redgtxdi]

So what's next in kitchens???

Watching all these "flip" programs & you always see the same thing.........

Granite
Stainless
Cherry


I heard a guy tonight say "Concrete countertops" and while concrete isn't necessarily new, perhaps concrete countertops are???

Anyway.........just thinkin' outloud & wonderin' what others think.

You could always seal them with the stuff they make to protect garage floors and driveways.

concrete counters have been around for a few years, but never caught on

Well they make them, and I'm sure they considered that possibility...

You could glaze it, but it would still be ugly.

There's always marble, I suppose.

Wood would be my guess, syntetic variants and the like as well....


I jsut wanted to point how much I hate multicolored granite. I jsut think it looks awful

Ya, concrete's definitely doable. I agree, though, that a natural rock product (at least for now or until they come up w/ a better way to do concrete) is still numero uno.

It's just that things typically cycle, but perhaps in different forms.

(Well, maybe popcorn ceilings will stay gone.........LOL, but)


I think back about 10-15 years and wonder if I'd have guessed that Granite, S.S., Cherry would be the next big thing.......(I'm guessing not).........and/or what I thought *might* have been good.

I always liked the look of granite. The first concrete bathroom looks nice though, the second one is an ugly color.
