Personally I'd prefer a white counter (or at least one that was a solid color), specifically, because I can't see if the mottled-grey-faux-granite countertop has had something spilled on it...I'd love to be able to tell if I missed a spot cleaning.

2020-06-13 20:34:30 +0000 UTCYou've an interesting take on the Fixer Upper "modern farmhouse" aesthetic. I've never considered it minimalist, but can see how it could be. I thought of it more as "carefully cluttered". I do like the idea of it bringing a bit of warmth to the modern design. I love modernist design, but can see where it can seem a bit industrial and cold. My biggest complaint with Joanna Gaines has always been her emphasis on the color white. I've always gone with the idea that life is too short to be lived in black and white; It should be lived in vivid color. Everyone wants the white kitchen until they realize the amount of cleaning and scrubbing necessary to keep it that way. Also, why would you want a kitchen that requires sunglasses to work in it?
