Butcher Block Counters
My hope/wish is to be able to start a little work on our kitchen this year.
On my list of musts:
~new counters
~new stove - switch to gas!!
~new farmhouse sink
~remove upper cabinets + add open shelves
On my list of wishes:
~replace lower cabinets + pantry doors
~new lighting
~redesign the island
~painted horizontal planks on walls, but would be happy with subway tile too
~new corner casement window {ours is painted shut!}
While a major renovation would be ideal, there's that pesky little 6 letter word that always gets in the way. {budget} I will likely stretch this project out over a couple years and change my mind umpteen million times. That's fine too. I will strive to enjoy the process!
Starting with counters....I love, adore, drool over butcher block counters. Especially, dark walnut butcher block. mmmmm... I'd love to add them to our island but I need to know about practicality.
Because I really, really, REALLLY spend a lot of time in the kitchen it is more about function than frills. I need a hardworking space. So, do any of you have butcher block on your counters? How does it hold up to wear and tear? What does it look like after 5, 10 years of use? How do you clean it? Do you love it or hate it? Give me the skinny....
