Our Kitchen Counter Review will help you decide which material and style will help make the most of your kitchen makeover.
With so much to choose from, it can be difficult find the right look that fits into your kitchen improvement budget and the style of your home.
If you are looking for a new and individual look you will find our 'low down' on the pros and cons of different emerging home kitchen counter materials like glass and stainless steel and the care they require.
Find out why stainless steel - the mainstay of professional restaurant kitchens - is becoming more and more popular as a home kitchen counter - especially when combined with the latest design of a stainless steel kitchen extractor hood.
We have also included in out kitchen counter review, granite which is the most popular choice worldwide for new kitchen counter installations.
If you prefer the rustic look we have also included wood and a photo of wood that has been tinted green but that still allows the grain of the wood to show though.
You will also find included in our review on laminates and formica, or you may prefer something totally individual with the help of your local and trusted carpenter - which is a kitchen counter combi - combining a laminate kitchen counter surface edged in pine.
Another great way of combining different materials are inlays - often stainless steel or glass inlaid into a wooden or laminate surface.
The quality of a kitchen counter and how it suits the type of decoration you have in your kitchen and in your home - can really make your kitchen renovation a success.
Use our Kitchen Counter Review to find the right non porous, heat resistant, long lasting and attractive kitchen counter for your home.
To your kitchen counter success...

Small Bathroom Remodel
Winter is when we often think of the need to plan a Small Bathroom Remodel project, because it's when we really notice to flaws everytime we have to use a room that is cold, damp, dark and unwelcoming.
We often get annoyed with small bathrooms that are outdated and are not seen as a comfortable space where you can relax and pamper yourself. If you don't like your bathroom you are going to want to get in and out as fast as possible - and it can be difficult to envisage how you can improve when you are dealing with such a confined space!.
During the warmer months it's easier to "live with it"... but what if you started planning now and made small bathroom remodel improvements that meant that you could create a warm and inviting room which meets the convienience needs of the whole family - all year round.
New fixtures manufactured especially for small bathrooms are coming out of the woodwork and showrooms and home improvement shows really "showcase" the possibilities to transform your home.
By making important changes to the flooring, fixtures and how much light comes into your bathroom you can make it seem like a much bigger space.
Storage is also much more important when planning a small bathroom remodel and if you are taking the room back to the stud work - it should give you a chance to investigate the possibilities of creating niches between and within the frame work at strategic places around the room!.
Don't give up on your small bathroom, there is always something that you can do to improve and make it a place where you can relax at the end of a hard day, take down the net curtains and install frosted glass or add color with stained glass and still maintain your privacy... but also allow much more light to flow into the room.
Discover more small bathroom remodel tips and ideas with the following articles, Small Bathroom Design Solutions and also... Small Bathroom Remodeling Ideas and by combining the right remodel with the perfect Bathroom Colors you will find out how you can plan for a much better future for the smallest room in your home and learn to love it again by making a start on your Small Bathroom Remodel project.
So don't turn your back on small bathroom makeovers... you won't be happy come next winter if you do! - create a haven now by giving your bathroom planning the time and TLC it needs!,
