You are visiting a friend that has just had a beautiful kitchen remodel done. It is a lovely kitchen with stunning granite countertops and a sharp looking tile backsplash. The glass door cabinets are filled with the good china. Somehow after spending a small fortune the room still looks a bit drab.
Their kitchen, 10 feet wide by 15 feet long (150 sq. ft.), didn�t offer much room for Chris and Ali to work � but that didn�t stop the big plans they had for their narrow kitchen. They wanted to have a logical cooking zone with a work triangle, plenty of counter space and still have enough room to accommodate a dining area.�We both enjoy the process of designing and creating our own living space to fit how we live. This applies to the space we occupy as well as the details within it,� says Ali. �We both like the idea of working with our hands, using materials that are natural, accessible [�] and flexible.� Chris added, �Concrete counters are beautiful, cool, earthy, solid, and you just want to touch them. The counters were a perfect way for us to create something beautiful out of our own ideas and hard work, and the uniqueness of the end product is a representation of our unique ideas.�From the looks of a job well done on their first concrete countertop, these happy do-it-yourselfers are in it for the long haul. Chris says of future projects, �We plan to create a concrete fireplace surround and perhaps a hearth to go with it!�
When you carefully plan that next renovation project or new home be sure the lighting is well planned out as well.
