Are Laminate Kitchen Counter Tops a Deal Breaker for the Babes?

This is true about the trend being white carrera marble counters and white cabinets, even though marble is impractical because the stone is porous and stains, so forget about red wine spills.

Still anything for vanity for most women...it's like wearing high heels--men just don't get it.

Most granite is so 2005 and most look dated, although a few colors still look good.

I've just been shopping and the white marble slabs and copycat marble quartz slabs are all the same price anyway, but the guys selling the countertops won't let me pick marble they say it's a really bad idea.

It seems granite, marble and quartz are all about the same cost, if you're looking at name brand quartz like Ceasarstone or Silestone.

Apparently you can put a hot dish directly on granite but not on quartz, but you have to seal granite annually.

Laminate is fine for a lower end place.

My circa 1965 laminate countertops are holding up fine to my very heavy duty cooking which includes putting my old French enameled 5 lb cast iron pots directly on them straight from the burners and oven without having to worry.

certainly it is a first world problem to rip out expensive countertops , or even renovate, due to the ephemeral bullshit of current 'style'

doesn't happen here in east Europe, where replacement does not happen until really needed

I think traditionally in the USA the west coast gets the trends earlier

granite seemed to be mid to late 2000s east coast , or maybe I was behind the times

any new trends, especially useless ones?

sometimes I think stainless steel will be the next (retarded) big thing

all the women will want it , then three years later claim it looks like the inside of a Subway shop

is this you OP?

pimping up your rims and kitchen...

parts of that video actually hit fairly close to the truth

:)

"Mullon Bemmii uued kummid" is probably a better pick up line than
"would you like to see my stamp collection?"
"would you like to see my new granite counter tops?"

Do they install granite counter tops in "Khrushchyovka" apartments?


It is interesting to note that the concrete architecture has gained a lot of fandom in recent times.

"Cladding of the exterior may be undertaken in part to improve the neighbours' view, and cladding itself may bring fire risks; this is widely seen to be one of the causes of the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire"

talk about cruel irony: Grenfell Tower was deemed to look too brutal, and the "window dressing" renovation job led to people burning to death.

is it ALL houses now in US with stone tops?

what about the cookie cutter 42x30 x 2 story vinyl siding houses

or vinyl siding townhouses? Shirley they also cannot get stone... or can they ??

it still is, at least in MY marriage of twenty plus years anyways...
best husband ever, laminate or not.

its not the laminate ill be taking with me when i go to the other side, see?

on a larger note

how THE FUCK can people STILL be manipulated as to what is 'IN STYLE' - as in 'those counter tops , cabinets, and appliances are out of style'

how braindead are people ??

this goes for clothes also

look at the losers wearing skinny jeans and cutting off circulation to their privates

or even NBA players wearing fucking COULATS like some teenage girl , WTF

if I was in the NBA , I would INSIST on wearing rugby style nut huggers , like the ones John Stockton always wore

and my counter tops would be laminate

and I would drive a Pontiac Firebird - like Johnny Lawrence - because why not

Excellent!
