Granite doesn't sound as bad as I thought. We are newlyweds and we hope to have a family in the future so I'm sure there will be a lot more wear and spills! Even now we aren't the greatest at cleaning up after ourselves in the kitchen so I want something that can stand up to it!
We are very DIY kind of people and have never hired anyone to do any work for us (new flooring, new kitchen, new bathroom etc. all done by us with the help of family members in our old condo!) I know we would have to pay for installation of stone, but of course it's something I want to be done right.
We got a quote for granite for about $7000. We thought that was a lot! But it seems any kind of stone would be pretty close. That's why I looked at Corian for a little while too, but I do think I like stone better. We do have a large kitchen and a lot of counter space so I know we will have to spend more money no matter what we get. I think I would feel better spending that much money if I know it is going to hold up for a long time. I don't want to change them again in 10 years!
