Your countertops are one of your kitchen’s most heavily used areas. It’s no wonder choosing the best countertop is such a hard decision — it can make a kitchen more functional. Plus, they significantly influence your kitchen’s feel and look.
If you’re looking to spruce up or create your dream kitchen this year, we got you covered! Today, we’re sharing eight options you can consider for your countertops. Read more below and find out which countertop material best suits your preference and needs!
Granite
Granite is the leading option when looking at natural stones for your countertop. Granite is very durable and can be customized to your specifications. Granite is also heat- and stain-resistant, making it an excellent material for countertops.
However, granite is an expensive material since it is a natural stone. It is also a porous stone and requires periodic sealing to protect it from stains. That said, having a granite countertop is an investment in itself since its durability and price can affect the real estate value of your home. Aside from this, no two pieces of granite are alike, making every countertop entirely unique!

Thanksgiving Refreshments
Set up a table or fridge with an assortment of single-serve liqueurs, mixers, bitters, tonic, seltzer, ice, some beers, and maybe a few different bottles of wine (with an option for disposable or eco-friendly cups). Generally, it’s always better to overestimate how many drinks you’ll need than run out mid-celebration.
You can also add a dispenser with water infused with fresh fruit, pitchers of lemonade, or sodas and juices. An easy-to-use drink dispenser for drinks will save you time and effort since you’ll only be responsible for refills if it runs low.
Finally: The Thanksgiving Spread!
Appetizers and nibbles of all kinds are always welcome at any party. A cheese or charcuterie board is always an excellent option when hosting a large group. Add various cheeses (hard, soft, strong, and mild), meats, crackers, nuts, olives, grapes, and summer garnishes.
TIP: Edible decors like seasonal fruit toppings laid on each plate or ceramic pumpkins paired with wheat cloches in a rustic vase is an effortless way to spread Thanksgiving cheer to even the most modern spaces!
For the mains, Turkey is always the showstopper of any Thanksgiving party. If you’re a newbie roaster, it’s best to plan ahead how long it takes to thaw, brine, stuff, and bake a turkey.
However, you can always choose the non-traditional way if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with roasting a turkey. Check out these great articles from Food and Wine and Taste of Home for alternative Thanksgiving mains!
For the sides, mashed potatoes, green bean casseroles, and sweet potato casseroles never get old. You can also opt for stuffed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, and pumpkin soup!
TIP: Always account for various dietary restrictions and purchase more food than you anticipate will be necessary. And if you’re pinched in time, curating and ordering ahead from restaurants you and your family love!
