We have an old house too (1912 bungalow) and also have 90's laminate counters. We however have the original kitchen cupboards (which I LOVE!) and hope to eventually get butcher block counters. I love the look of the wood with white cabinets, and butcher block is very inexpensive compared to the other options out there. I also think a subway tile backsplash would be fun, but I guess we will see!
Here are my beautiful
laminate countertops!
