I will be posting photos soon of our construction progress, but for now I'm stuck. Is there any other room more important than the kitchen? I have to make a decision in the next 3 weeks.
I love the look of modern rustic spaces with a mix of wood, concrete, and metal. My kitchen is going to have bottom cabinets that will be all drawers. In place of upper cabinetry I opted for a wall of windows. I love natural light and a breeze, who doesn't! So what I can't decide about is a concrete surround. Both will have a separate counter on top. While I love the look of concrete counters, for many reasons they have already been ruled out.
Concrete Surround: The pluses are it will be there forever. Bugs won't eat it. It is a little cheaper. It has an added rustic charm to it.

All Wood: I won't be losing drawer space to concrete. It looks clean. Only one person will be working on it, so it might get done sooner and be more precise.

Try to picture this one without all the clutter. It has all drawers and you can see the grain!
So what do you think? Any ideas or opinions? I would love to hear them.
Well, I definitely like both options, but the concrete option is my favorite! It will probably last longer too...but really I don't know much about either one. I know whichever one you choose will be lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like the top one best...will there be problems with the drawers "sticking" due to the humidity or will they be installed with hardware? All of them look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI like the concrete!
