[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we talking wood or butcher block. "Wood" to me means the kind you can buy at Home Depot. Butcher block is very nice and is pricey. I know lots of people with them. It's higher maintenance. This whole clean line Euro thing vs fussy American kitchens is funny. I prefer American kitchens because I think European style kitchens are rather cold and uninviting. I wouldn't call my kitchen pretentious either though.[/quote] OP here, I agree with you on the fact that american kitchen are much more of a living space, there is a nice homey look in a lot of them that I really like. European are often more simple/modern/functional and are not as much of a hang out space I think. My MIL has such a kitchen, very pleasant country style. The only thing I don't like in it is that some of her cabinets are a bit too heavy, ornamented for my taste and the granite countertop seems cold and blah to me (she loves it, just splurged on it). It makes the whole thing more "heavy", "tiresome to the eye" if that makes sense.. I love the very light, open, white look of scandinavian kitchen (by that I don't mean super modern Ikea)[/quote]
