A Wood Countertop Raises The Bar Of Any Kitchen

March 18, 2013 in Designing

Yes, some people still love wood.

Real stained or natural wood tones. Not painted. 

This isn't a trend. It will never go away. People will always LOVE wood.

It’s the reality of the material. The beauty. The texture. The warmth. The color. Everything about it draws you to it.

There are lots of reasons to love the use of wood in an interior. And we’re going to discover a few of them this week, because it's...

 “We Love Wood Week"

(And I had a hard time limiting it to 5 days! ;-)

Let’s start the week off with some countertops!  

I know you know about their personality; their warmth; the way they add soooo much to beauty to a space. And the more you use them, the better they get. :-)

Wow -- If you could only say that about more things in life!
