The $70 white laminate countertop in our kitchen is about shot and we're going to need a new one. I found this photo on one of those foreign "we'll remodel your kitchen for $380,000" websites and---given that you could buy four or five houses like ours for that much right now---I don't see much wisdom in investing in much more than a new laminate. But I dream about something like this beautiful kitchen. I would love to have a wooden/butcher block counter, but the wife is afraid it would stain or ding too easily. I don't really like granite or corian and I don't want to spend that much. Anyone have any good "alternative" countertop recommendations? I like the idea of fireslate but those bastards won't return my e-mails.
