Quartz, granite, and marble counter tops are in houses everywhere today. We can’t watch home design shows on cable TV without loving the counter tops the hosts choose.
Does anyone remember the counter tops in the houses in which they grew up? How about your grandmother’s counters? It’s a shame they didn’t have granite countertops Miami FL.
Before Retro Was Big
The truth is that counter tops weren’t considered a thing until the mid to late 20th century. Cooks prepped on the kitchen table or directly over the stove and oven. Only in the 1950s did counter tops enter the picture. They were generally made of metal that got scratched and nicked.
Formica counters were the next big thing. This was in the era of wood cabinets instead of metal, newer stoves, and linoleum floors. Kitchens still weren’t planned with much counter space, but there was room for a fruit bowl and perhaps a set of canisters.
Modern Counters
Tile counters became popular in the 1980s. They handled scratching and nicking better than their predecessors. Tile counters appeared in bathrooms around this time, so that both kitchen and bath coordinated.
Kitchens And Baths As We Know Them Today
Not until the 1990s did natural stone counter tops appear. They were prohibitively expensive at the beginning. Homeowners were charmed with the varying colors and patterns of granite countertops Miami FL.
