Yes, formica, is so avante guarde................................I will forever be impressed with green formica.
Actually, formica has already made a comeback - along with funky vinyl flooring. I love my formica counter tops. At least when I get tired of them, it won't cost a ton of $$ to replace for an altogether new look.
 
Concrete and metals are on the horizon. The cycle will be complete when kitchens are again orange like Mike Brady's (or was it Carol's or Alice's?).
I can deal with concrete, but metal is too hard to clean -- gets streaky.

You must be kidding.


Granite-print contact paper over plywood leaps to mind.
You *are* kidding.:lol:

I heard that Corian is coming back. That's what we have on the island in our kitchen in Georgia, with shiny white 4x4 ceramic tile on the counters. The tile was "in" when we built in 1988, but it's a pain because the grout just won't clean, plus it cracks.
 
:funn:OMG..drink spewed.:clap:

Glad I kept my laminate. :biggrin:

call me crazy but I love my formica countertop. we did a complete kitchen remodel a few years ago and I almost went with granite because its all the rage, but it wasn't what I wanted. I love retro and some of the patterns in formica were just irrisistable. plus, if I want to change it out in a few more years it won't cost an arm and a leg.

I went with granite on another cabinet piece (buffet) and I like it too.

corian reminds me of what goes in a bathroom for some reason so I never could put it in the kitchen.
