What type of counter top would be more practical?

January 22nd, 2013 6 comments

I am purchasing my first home, it is a starter home (3bdrm,2bath). I would like to redo the kitchen in a style that is me. However, when we sale a few years down the line-it will be a starter home for the next person. I don’t what type of counter top to choose that will not push the house out of a first-time homebuyer price range. I want it to look nice and still be afforable.

(I’ll get my granite counter top when I build from the ground up)

In my starter home, I am tiling the countertops. Tile is only about $1.27 -$2/sqft at Lowes. Quick and easy. The only questionable thing are the edges. Bullnose tile are $2.00 for a 6 inch section. That adds up quickly. I may use a schulter aluminum transition (L shaped one) instead.

look on Ebay for 20% off Home Depot or Lowes coupons. They help a great deal. Lowes will take the HD coupons.
