The article reflects on a mother's journey through multiple kitchen designs, emphasizing how her experiences shaped her evolving preferences for kitchen functionalities. Initially favoring quartz for durability, she later experimented with granite but found it challenging to maintain. After much contemplation, she settled on a serene gray quartz countertop with a honed finish, which struck a balance between beauty and practicality. This choice illustrates the importance of both aesthetics and functionality in family-centered environments, especially considering the active life she leads with five children and two dogs.
As a mom of five, I've learned with every home we've lived in more about what I like and what our family needs in a kitchen as time has gone on.
For our current kitchen, I thought I was going to go with granite again. I fell in love with a slab full of beautiful colors and sweeping movement.
...I realized that I need my kitchen space to feel calm. With seven of us and two huge dogs, our house has plenty of activity.
The lightly veined creamy quartz I chose has enough variation to keep it from being boring, but it's subtle enough to maintain a peaceful ambiance.
