followup: countertops

OK pictures under the cut but before you judge me, understand that i went into this remodel saying "i don't want everything white and gray!!!!" and then one at a time we considered our options and realized the best options were... whites... and grays...

but! the white countertop has SPARKLES in it, and as I tell the saga I will tell you the inside scoop the countertop installer gave me, as to WHAT THE SPARKLES ARE MADE OF.

i would put in a little video of the sparkle but i can't figure out how to upload videos anywhere so just imagine it. you can kind of see it in some of the still images.

[image description: a young man in a gray hoodie and orange gloves rests my not-yet-installed stainless-steel sink on the top of the cabinets in front of my windows, which don't yet have countertops.] These guys rolled up at 8:15 and politely introduced themselves, Devin and Isaac. My buddy Max had already rolled in, but Jim had planned on arriving at 8:30 and was running late.

Devin said to me, excitedly, "Did they tell you? We did it seamless!" There had been discussion of whether the corner section would have to be fabricated in two sections or whether they'd be able to do it in one.

They asked Max about some technical details, but Max demurred, "Jim knows about it, I'm just here to help," and they said "ah we'll wait for Jim" but then they were like "well we can just get started" and as it happens they'd just about finished before Jim finally rolled up, LOL.

They installed the sink first, as it's an undermount and so way easier to do before the counter goes in.

But the counters-- they just-- set them down, checked the level, checked the measurements everywhere, and then just put silicone around the edges underneath and on top. That's literally it. I asked if it was ever more complicated and Devin was like ah yeah if we have to level it there's a whole thing, but. I mean. Jim did this so I knew it'd be this easy, that's why you're first for us today.

[image description: an expanse of speckled white countertop, with reflections from the lights. You can kind of see a speck here and there of the sparkles. the color is somethingorother-snow, because it does glitter like snow.]

I admired the glitter, and Devin said, "Guess what the sparkle's made of!"

"Glass," I hazarded.

"Close," he said, "but no." When nobody else had another guess, he said, "CDs! It's made of CDs." This is a quartz-like-composite kinda thing, which means it kinda looks like stone and is shiny like stone (instead of matte like Corian etc) but won't shatter your plates quite like stone and is easier to maintain.

I texted this to the family groupchat, and VegMan said (my sister must have read it aloud to him, he's not on the family groupchat) "Oh, AOL CDs?" and I texted it to Dude separately and he wrote back "That's like 750000 free minutes of AOL!" and when I repeated these jokes to Devin, Isaac, and Max, they all kind of looked politely blank. "Oh no," I said, "you're too young."

"I was born in 2001," Devin volunteered, and Max laughed and said "same". (I do not think Isaac is any older.) "They used to give me video game CDs in my Happy Meals though so I know what you mean."

I've lived in this house since both of you were four years old, I thought, but did not say. "In 2001 I was..." "Adulting," Devin said helpfully. "You... could call it that," I said, thinking back to my senior year of college.

They brought in the little chunk of counter that's going over next to the fridge, and then the bigger chunk that's the sink counter. Then they brought in the big one they'd managed to do seamless, the L-shaped chunk that goes from the stove around the corner to the expanse in front of the bay window that will be our dining area. Devin and Isaac planned out where they'd go and how they'd get it in the door, because they knew it was heavy. Then they got in the door and Devin said "Max! Max I know I don't know you but I need you to help me!" and Max hustled over and grabbed the heavy end, because it really was too heavy for Devin, and Isaac had the other end so he couldn't help.

It was a strain for both of them, but they carefully got it up onto the cabinets, and slid it painstakingly into place, and Devin took a moment to recover.

[image description: a person in a gray hoodie is sitting on the cardboard-covered floor of a white room with gray cabinets, applying silicone from a tube to the underside of the white countertop]

They checked the levels and measurements and made sure there were no gaps and then they just... glued it. Like not even really glued it they just applied a bead of silicone around all the edges, and that's that.

"Is it really that easy?" I asked, and Devin laughed and said "if it's not perfectly level we have to shim it, and there's a whole lot of complicated stuff we gotta do then, but the reason I put this job first is I know Jim put these cabinets in so I know they're level. And if they're level then yeah this is all that's gotta happen."

They look so good. They sparkle like snow. The room is a sea of neutrals.

[image description: from my living room looking into my kitchen, with the stove pulled out awkwardly into the middle of the floor, one man is standing to work on the counter near the sink and another man is sitting on the floor checking the underside of the counter in front of the window.]

Jim showed up as they were finishing, checked on a few things, signed off on the job, and then he and Max set to tiling the backsplash. Which I will cover in a separate post because this is enough for right now. But.

The counters!!! I wish I could figure out how to make a gif out of a little video on my phone because the SPARKLE. Yeah the white countertops and white walls and white ceilings are a bit much but understand two of the walls and all of the window trim are getting painted some bright color or other, so it won't be like this forever.

Sustainable Bathroom Practices in Dubai

Eco-Friendly Solutions for Your Bathroom Renovation

In Dubai, where luxury and environmental consciousness are increasingly intertwined, creating a sustainable bathroom during your bathroom renovation Dubai or bathroom remodeling project showcases your commitment to a greener future. This guide explores various eco-friendly practices and solutions you can incorporate to transform your Dubai bathroom into a haven of relaxation while minimizing your environmental impact.

Key Considerations for Sustainable Bathroom Practices:

The crucial considerations for sustainable bathroom practices in Dubai include:

Water Conservation: Conserving water is vital for sustainability in Dubai's arid climate.

Energy Efficiency: Opting for energy-saving fixtures and appliances reduces your carbon footprint.

Material Selection: Choosing sustainable materials like recycled content or locally sourced options minimizes environmental impact.

Waste Reduction: Minimizing waste generated during renovation and choosing low-maintenance materials reduces future waste.

Water-Saving Strategies:

Implement these water-saving strategies in your bathroom:

Low-flow showerheads and faucets: Install low-flow fixtures that significantly reduce water usage compared to conventional options.

Dual-flush toilets: Opt for toilets that offer a choice of full or partial flushes for water conservation.

Water-saving aerators: These small attachments fitted to faucets can significantly reduce water flow without compromising functionality.

Leak detection and repair: Address any leaks promptly to prevent water wastage.

Energy-Saving Solutions:

Adopt these energy-saving solutions in your bathroom:

LED lighting: Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights that offer superior energy savings and longer lifespans.

Motion-sensor lighting: Install motion-sensor lights in areas like the bathroom where occupancy is intermittent, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

Energy-efficient ventilation fans: Choose ventilation fans that are energy-efficient and have timers or humidity sensors to regulate their operation.

Consider heated towel rails: Heated towel rails powered by solar energy or waste heat from your water heater can reduce reliance on electricity.

Sustainable Material Selection:

Make sustainable choices when selecting materials for your bathroom:

Recycled content: Look for fixtures, countertops, or vanities made from recycled materials like glass or plastic, reducing reliance on virgin resources.

Locally sourced materials: Opt for locally sourced materials to minimize transportation-related emissions and support local businesses.

FSC-certified wood: Choose wood products with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, ensuring sustainable forest management practices.

Natural stone tiles: While requiring careful selection and sealing, natural stone tiles like granite or slate offer durability and a timeless aesthetic with minimal processing compared to some man-made options.

Waste Reduction Practices:

Implement these waste reduction practices during your bathroom renovation:

Salvaged or refurbished materials: Consider using salvaged or refurbished bathroom fixtures or cabinets to give them a new life and reduce waste.

Minimize demolition waste: During the renovation process, plan to minimize the amount of demolition waste generated by carefully salvaging usable materials and disposing of others responsibly.

Low-maintenance materials: Choose low-maintenance materials like engineered wood or porcelain tiles that require minimal cleaning chemicals and replacements, reducing waste in the long run.

Additional Sustainable Practices:

Consider these additional sustainable practices for your bathroom:

Water recycling: Invest in a greywater recycling system to reuse wastewater from showers and sinks for irrigation or toilet flushing.

Natural cleaning products: Opt for natural and biodegradable cleaning products to minimize the use of harsh chemicals and their impact on water quality.

Shower timers: Encourage shorter showers by installing shower timers to raise awareness of water usage.

Conclusion:

Creating a sustainable bathroom in Dubai is a rewarding endeavor that contributes to a greener tomorrow. By incorporating the strategies mentioned above, you can transform your bathroom into a space that embodies both luxury and environmental responsibility. Remember, even small changes can make a significant impact, and your eco-conscious choices can inspire others to adopt sustainable practices within their own homes.

the home stretch

Went over to the house yesterday morning and Jim was there sawing a hole in the exterior wall.

Not alarming at all once I remembered part of this remodel that i'm really excited about is that we're getting an actual exhaust hood for over the stove. Not one of those ones that goes through a microwave either, a real exhaust hood that goes to the outdoors. (The real ones are mounted 30" above the stove top. Microwave ones have to be lower so you can reach the microwave. i can't stand cooking in such a constrained space like that. No thank you. Keep my microwave separate!)

He had sawed out a big chunk of drywall on the interior too, and replaced it with plywood, which is much sturdier to screw mounting hardware into. At my request, he'd extended the plywood down a couple more inches (it'll be covered by the tile backsplash so it won't even show!) so I can screw a couple of heavy-duty mounting hooks in there and have a place I can hang both my cast-iron skillets when they're not in use. I don't like leaving them on the stove (my mother's approach) or stacking them on a shelf (dude's approach) because one is untidy and the other requires me to lift every piece of cast iron i own at once to access any of them. (I also have a square griddle and a Dutch oven and also a tiny skillet which Dude uses all the time when I'm not around and neither of us uses at all when I am around, because it is very much a Cooking For One mini skillet LOL.)

He paused to show me the deer hunting hut he'd meticulously constructed for himself while he was on Christmas break and then artistically had painted camoflage. ("My friends were like omg how long did that take you? I dunno, I wasn't counting, I had a blast. Had a beer in one hand, spray paint can in the other, I just let it take as long as it took. It's like arts and crafts! Who's keeping track of the time?") It did look great. As he was swiping his finger accidentally slid onto the later bits of the camera roll and it showed me the deer he'd gotten on the last day of hunting season. "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you look at that," he said, and then looked at me and laughed, remembering I had told him I work in a slaughterhouse. "Right, you don't mind that kind of thing, but still." It was a nice big doe, cleanly felled, nothing to object to there.

I went and called the appliance company, who'd said they'd deliver my dishwasher and vent hood on new year's eve probably. They seemed confused that I'd called, and then were confused when they discovered that indeed both my items were in stock and should have been delivered. I said I figured the holiday had confused things (genuinely, probably the vent hood had come in on NYE like the salesman had thought it might, but I bet somebody had the day off and they weren't on the ball about calling people) so I just wanted to call and find out if anything needed sorting. They told me they'll call me today to tell me the two-hour delivery window. So I'm getting my dishwasher today! Pumped. It's gonna go into the living room to start with but like, y'know, that's fine.

The counters are going in on Thursday. Hopefully, Jim said, the counter people could do it in the morning, because then he could start on the tile that afternoon.

Ah they've just called, my delivery window for the appliances is 11-1. OK cool.

The plumber can't come until Monday. But then once he's been there I'll have my stove and sink and dishwasher. And, Jim says, that means the final, last little button-up details will be done on Tuesday.

"And then," he said, amused, "I can go back to the regular schedule, because the people who refused to have their houses torn up over the holidays will be clamoring to get the work done now. It's good you didn't mind." Which is precisely why we thought we'd gotten bumped up by two months, but it's funny to hear him so directly confirm it.

"I'm the luckiest person in the world," I said, "with my mother-in-law's house vacant walking distance away for this whole time, so it's been genuinely no trouble at all." And I am. She's coming back on Tuesday, so I figure we'll move back into our house over the weekend, and I'll deep-clean her house and (sighhh) put all the beautiful sewing equipment back where I found it. I won't really miss her fancy modern sewing machine (which she just got and is third-hand and I don't think she knows how to use either) but her old workhorse straight-stitch machine is a beautiful, unfussy beast I've really enjoyed spending time with.

OK i gotta get off my ass and go get the grocery shopping done so I can go sit in my house for the delivery window. I saved plenty of things to do, don't worry. I'm starting to put stuff into the cupboards, made Dude come sit with me over the weekend and give his opinion-- he's been busy at work and has had no attention span but I refuse to take his "idk just put stuff wherever" at face value, he spends more time in this house than me and i will NOT have him after the fact annoyed with how I chose to organize things. So he did give opinions, finally. And I need a few more lazy susans and storage baskets and half-shelf-rack kinda thingies here and there but I'm getting there.

Elevating Your Culinary Haven: A Comprehensive Guide to Kitchen Remodeling and Modern Kitchen Appliances

Chapter 1: The Artistry of Kitchen Remodeling

1.1 Crafting Your Vision: Defining Your Dream Kitchen

The journey of kitchen remodeling commences with your vision. Imagine the kitchen of your dreams - the layout, color scheme, and functionality that harmonize with your lifestyle.

Contemplate your cooking preferences, from baking masterpieces to whipping up quick family dinners. This vision will serve as your guiding star throughout the remodeling process.

1.2 The Blueprint: Mastering the Layout

The layout of your kitchen is the backbone of its functionality. Delve into various layout options, such as the efficient L-shaped design, the spacious U-shaped configuration, or the airy open-concept kitchen.

Ensure seamless traffic flow and position essential areas like the cooking, prep, and storage zones for optimal efficiency. A well-thought-out layout minimizes clutter and maximizes convenience.

1.3 Budgeting Wisely: Setting Realistic Expectations

Establishing a budget is a pivotal aspect of kitchen remodeling. Dive into research to understand the costs of materials, appliances, and labor. Incorporate contingencies for unforeseen expenses.

Striking a balance between your dream design and your budget guarantees a gratifying remodeling experience.

Chapter 2: Selecting Your Kitchen Appliances

2.1 Refrigerators: The Epitome of Freshness

Refrigerators, the workhorses of the kitchen, keep your ingredients fresh and ready for culinary adventures. Choose from an array of styles, including side-by-side, French door, and smart refrigerators.

Features like adjustable shelves, ice dispensers, and energy efficiency play pivotal roles in your selection.

2.2 Cooking Range: The Theater of Flavors

The cooking range is where culinary artistry unfolds. Options span from classic gas and electric ranges to sleek induction cooktops and versatile dual-fuel ranges.

Consider your cooking style, available space, and safety features when making the ideal choice.

2.3 Dishwashers: Effortless Cleanup

Dishwashers are the unsung heroes of the kitchen, streamlining cleanup after sumptuous meals. Look for features such as adjustable racks, efficient water usage, and noise levels that align with your preferences.

Modern dishwashers offer various wash cycles and advanced drying options for spotless results.

2.4 Microwave Ovens: Beyond Reheating

Microwave ovens have evolved beyond simple reheating devices. Incorporate modern microwaves, convection ovens, or steam ovens into your kitchen for versatile cooking options.

Explore built-in microwave solutions and microwave drawers for seamless integration into your design.

2.5 Kitchen Appliances for Sustainability

Sustainability is a growing concern in kitchen appliances. Opt for ENERGY STAR-rated appliances to reduce energy consumption.

Additionally, explore appliances with smart technology for remote monitoring and energy-saving features, contributing to a greener future.

Chapter 3: Kitchen Cabinets and Countertops: The Cornerstones of Elegance

3.1 Cabinets: A Marriage of Form and Function

You should know that kitchen cabinets serve dual roles - functionality and aesthetics. Explore materials such as solid hardwood, durable plywood, or versatile laminate for your cabinetry.

You need to pay attention to door styles, hardware, and storage solutions to maximize space and achieve your desired look.

3.2 Countertops: Where Culinary Artistry Unfolds

Countertops are the canvas on which culinary artistry takes shape. Choose from an array of materials, including timeless granite, durable quartz, elegant marble, or rustic butcher block.

Consider factors such as maintenance, durability, and aesthetics when selecting the perfect countertop material.

3.3 Backsplashes and Flooring: A Symphony of Design

Complete your kitchen's visual symphony with carefully chosen backsplashes and flooring. Backsplash materials, from classic subway tiles to intricate mosaics or natural stone, add character and protect your walls.

Flooring options encompass the warmth of hardwood, the durability of ceramic tiles, or the eco-friendly charm of bamboo or cork, enhancing both style and practicality.

Chapter 4: Lighting and Ventilation: Crafting the Perfect Ambiance

4.1 Lighting: Illuminating Your Culinary Space

Effective lighting enhances both functionality and ambiance in your kitchen. Implement a combination of task, ambient, and accent lighting for versatility.

Explore pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, and dimmer switches to create a well-lit and inviting space.

4.2 Ventilation: Clearing the Path to Fresh Air

Proper ventilation is vital for maintaining air quality and eliminating odors. Invest in a high-quality range hood or exhaust fan that effectively removes cooking fumes and ensures your kitchen stays well-ventilated.

Adequate ventilation contributes to a healthier cooking environment and prevents the buildup of moisture and odors.

Chapter 5: Finishing Touches: Hardware, Fixtures, and Beyond

5.1 Cabinet Hardware: Jewelry for Your Cabinets

Cabinet hardware adds the finishing touch to your kitchen's aesthetics.

Explore a wide array of handles, knobs, and pulls to complement your cabinet design. The right hardware can transform ordinary cabinets into works of art.

5.2 Faucets and Sinks: Elegance Meets Practicality

Faucets and sinks are not just functional elements; they are design statements in your kitchen.

Choose faucets with features like pull-down sprayers, touchless technology, and water-saving options.

Sinks come in various materials, sizes, and styles to suit your needs and aesthetic preferences.

5.3 Flooring: Beauty Anchored in Durability

Selecting the right flooring is a balancing act between beauty and durability. Hardwood flooring exudes timeless elegance, while ceramic or porcelain tiles offer easy maintenance.

Look for flooring materials that can withstand high-traffic areas and resist spills and stains, ensuring your kitchen flooring remains pristine.

Chapter 6: Safety and Sustainability: Fostering a Healthy Kitchen

6.1 Safe Kitchen Design: Prioritizing Safety

Safety should be a paramount consideration in your kitchen remodel.

Opt for rounded countertop edges to prevent injuries, install anti-slip flooring to minimize accidents, and ensure ample lighting to avoid mishaps. If you have young family members, consider childproofing measures.

6.2 Sustainability in Kitchen Remodeling: A Green Perspective

A sustainable kitchen remodel is not only good for the environment but also for your long-term well-being.

Choose eco-friendly materials like bamboo, reclaimed wood, and recycled glass. Opt for low-VOC paints and finishes to improve indoor air quality.

Consider energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting to reduce your carbon footprint.

Chapter 7: Conclusion: Your Culinary Haven Awaits

As your kitchen remodeling journey culminates, you stand on the threshold of a culinary haven.

You've transformed a functional space into an artful masterpiece where flavors come to life, and memories are savored.

From gourmet feasts to cozy family dinners, your kitchen is now the stage for culinary adventures.

With your vision realized, your modern appliances in place, and every detail meticulously curated, your kitchen is more than a room; it's a reflection of your personality, a testament to your style, and a testament to your commitment to creating moments that matter.
