I went with granite for the new kitchen countertops. I also ordered and had someone else install the new cabinets. To be honest, I just didn't want to tackle it. It was the last room in the house to be redone, and I just wanted to be lazy about it. I did take down the old cabinets, though. But that was the fun part. After that, guy came in and installed the new cabinets (1 guy, all by himself). And then I had someone come out and measure for the countertop. I'd always wanted granite, so that's what I got. It definitely wasn't cheap, but I'd made concessions elsewhere to save some money so I could afford it. And it was worth it. After that, I put up the backsplash myself as it was super easy. I want to put down a new floor in the kitchen, I just need to decide on which one I like best. I did the old floor in there, but I went with something cheap as at the time it's all I could afford. Now I can afford to upgrade to something better (quality-wise and looks), I just need to narrow down my choices to 1 or 2...instead of the 15 or so I've found that I like, lol.

[QUOTE="sean, post: 1601957, member: 20125"] I went with granite for the new kitchen countertops. I also ordered and had someone else install the new cabinets. To be honest, I just didn't want to tackle it. It was the last room in the house to be redone, and I just wanted to be lazy about it. I did take down the old cabinets, though. But that was the fun part. After that, guy came in and installed the new cabinets (1 guy, all by himself). And then I had someone come out and measure for the countertop. I'd always wanted granite, so that's what I got. It definitely wasn't cheap, but I'd made concessions elsewhere to save some money so I could afford it. And it was worth it. After that, I put up the backsplash myself as it was super easy. I want to put down a new floor in the kitchen, I just need to decide on which one I like best. I did the old floor in there, but I went with something cheap as at the time it's all I could afford. Now I can afford to upgrade to something better (quality-wise and looks), I just need to narrow down my choices to 1 or 2...instead of the 15 or so I've found that I like, lol. [/QUOTE]
