Wow, easy crowd today.
I’m keeping this yappin’ mouth shut.
Oh, my current favorite counter combo is honed soapstone with an island of mahogany or teak. Gorgeous.
You guys laugh about laminate counter tops: have you checked out the endless angst from stains/cleaning/maintenance/scratches on high-end granite and marble on these pages? It’s ridiculous to pay 4x as much and then having to worry about grapefruit juice spills.
My el-cheapo Formica top just reached 9 years and looks like new (no snarky comments on that needed.)
Whoever buys it probably has so much money they will blast the interior to smithereens and their French architect will install a 1950’s kitchen with bomerang-print formica counters and vintage East German cast-iron seating.
Very few people with this kind of dough have any taste of their own. Once the house falls into the hands of an interior designer/architect who works with super-wealty clients -fugheddabodit!!!!
if I win the lotto, this is it for me. this is it.
i dunno. i am not feeling this house/layout.
kitchen ahoy! feels like a gaaaaaallllleeyyy.
i’d prefer a deck off the kitchen where i could dine, not just stand with a drink and cigar.
the looooong and skinny extension gives one nice thing – deck on third floor – but taketh away from the garden and garden floor natural light.
i’ll hang onto my 3500000 clams for now.
So are clear heels.
YES! SEE!!!!!!!!!!! laminate is CLASSY AND TIMELESS!!! thanks Minard!

The ribbed aluminum edging that Dave describes was more common around “kitchennete” tables that usually came with tubular steel chairs. Hey, it’s all American material culture.
With the shiny red seat covers.
I agree with Rob, the best laminate counters had laminate on the edges and the joint was carefully mitered to be almost invisible. I grew up with a kitchen with truly fabulous laminate counters with a boomerang design.
