quartz countertops: How to Turn Your Kitchen into Your Favorite Room of the House

quartz countertops

It’s the space we’re all well acquainted with, especially during the Holidays. Your kitchen can either reflect what you love, or what you hate about entertaining during the holiday season. Maybe you love hosting large parties, for this your kitchen will need to utilize the space for all that cooking and storing of food. Or if the form is what you require over function, certain accents which appeal to your style and taste can help create a space you’ll love to be in. For most, cabinets and countertops are the biggest part of any kitchen. Theses aspects can make or break your entire space. And while the holiday season may be a less than ideal time for a full on kitchen renovation, it is a great opportunity to make a few mental notes on what you'd like to change about your kitchen. When the New Year rolls around, you might even have enough notes to make a plan and then put that plan into action.

Improving both the form and function of the kitchen is not an easy task, but can save your sanity during those high-volume times. Whether it’s having a refrigerator big enough to store 2 turkeys, a stove big enough to bake 5 pies, or enough countertop space to prepare an entire feast, there are certain ways to steal space and improve the utilization of your kitchen.

Working with an expert is always the best way to turn a drab kitchen into both a functional and magazine-worthy space. Expert designers and architects can improve the flow of the house as well as design a kitchen perfectly suited to you, your family, and your lifestyle.

However, given the present state of the economy, many residents are reluctant to take on a large project like a kitchen renovation, and understandably so! A brand new kitchen can easily cost $75,000 or more. But there are a few advantages to starting now. During the holiday season contractors and designers are a little more freed up, so they have more time to devote to you and your project. You may even find some discounts available.

Another advantage of working with a designer is that you are now blessed with a personal kitchen shopper. While planning your space, many designers will accompany clients on shopping sprees for tiles, countertops and flooring. When you can't decide between granite, concrete, stainless steel, or quartz countertops, your designer will help you make a sensible decision. On most purchases, you'll even benefit from industry discounts. So while you may be reluctant to begin such a large undertaking, you may find it well worth it to have the kitchen of your dreams before the next Holiday Season rolls around!

Build a Green Home for Practically Nothing

countertops

A recent LA Times Article reported on sponsors occasionally donating thousands of dollars in high-end goods to home builders and designers. In exchange, manufacturers expect owners to open the homes for occasional public touring.

Some savvy Southern Californians have figured out how to get new green homes for practically nothing. An increasing number of entrepreneurs have persuaded companies such as bathroom fixture maker Kohler, quartz countertops manufacturer CaesarStone, appliance manufacturer Dacor and cabinet designer Bazzeo to provide free or discounted materials for newly built or remodeled homes. Nearly a dozen such houses have sprouted around Southern California. Virtually all are in the $1 million-to-$2 million range, though the freebies enabled owners to spend significantly less.

Why would a manufacturer be willing to donate as much as $100,000 worth of products to a home owner? This story is a hint to the answer: publicity. Think of it as swag on a grand scale. Just as a fashion house may give away its latest handbag so it can be seen attached to the arm of a much-photographed starlet, manufacturers of home appliances, countertops, fixtures and finishes are giving away their goods in hopes of being noticed in high-profile modern homes.

The catch: The homes have to showcase environmentally friendly design. Some manufacturers are going after projects with the U.S. Green Building Council's highest rating for sustainable design and building practices. Others go for green homes with celebrities attached to them. Regardless of who owns the place, manufacturers expect the homes to open for occasional public touring -- sometimes for a whole year -- and owners to discuss the virtues of the products in question, be it a CaesarStone countertop or General Electric appliance.

Such arrangements are nothing new. Traditional show houses, often sponsored by a magazine or a nonprofit organization raising money for charity, call for designers to make over a residence for free, often using products that are donated in exchange for a promotional push. What makes the new green show houses different is not only the emphasis on sustainability, but also the fact that they often are, first and foremost, private residences owned and inhabited by the builders themselves, whose living space essentially becomes a billboard for sponsors.

One recent house like this sponsored by House Beautiful magazine was the Kitchen of the Year, which showcased CaesarStone quartz countertops, Kohler & Viking appliances, and KraftMaid cabinets and boasted celebrity designers Christopher Peacock and Ina Garten. This kitchen had a large opening in New York City’s Rockefeller Center. The publicity was amazing, and it even made appearances on Good Morning America. So if you don’t mind opening your home up to the world, then cruising for sponsors to help build your dream green home may be right up your alley.

Highlights from the 2009 Kitchen of the Year with Ina Garten

Finally, it’s time for the unveiling of this year’s Kitchen of the Year! House Beautiful rebuilt famous chef Ina Garten's kitchen in the middle of Manhattan's Rockefeller Center. Here are some highlights from the most talked about kitchen in America, with tips from the designer Robert Stilin.countertops

Kitchen Island: "I like an island you can work on but that can also be a gathering place for coffee or a casual dinner," says Kitchen of the Year designer Robert Stilin. The kitchen features KraftMaid cabinets, Viking range and hood, CaesarStone countertops, Kohler faucet and sink.

Useful Space: "Bar stools at the island are a must," says Stilin. "I love to have my breakfast and read the paper at the island. And my son, Dylan, and I eat a casual dinner at our island every night. I think this is how most people want to live today."

Simple Kitchen: "People who really cook, like Ina, prefer their kitchens to be simple and efficient," says Stilin. "It's back to basics!" Open shelves keep everything within reach near the stove range and eco-friendly, easy to care for quartz countertops by CaesarStone.

Dishware on Display: "We couldn't do it at Kitchen of the Year because of space, but nothing beats a walk-in pantry," says Stilin. Seen on display are simple and elegant white plates and dishes from Crate & Barrel with beautifully shining Hotel Silver bowls, tray, and coffeepots.

Organized Drawers: "Function, function, function," says Stilin. "Kitchens have to look good, but things have to work." A two-tiered cutlery drawer in KraftMaid cabinets saves space and keeps flatware organized.

Kitchen Sitting Area: "Kitchens are the new living space," says Stilin. "They should have room for cooking, dining, and a comfortable seating area." Seen in the sitting area are a beautiful fireplace and large comfy chairs and ottomans.

Computer Desk: "Don't forget a spot for the computer," says Stilin. Here we have a simple desk with Toshiba laptop.

Dine-in Kitchen: "Today, kitchens are the core of the house," says Stilin. "You have to be able to cook in them, but you also have to be able to live in them." A bright and cheery dining area features Restoration Hardware trestle table, and slipcovered chairs from Lee Industries.

Spice Drawer: The Kitchen of the Year doesn't need a lot of gadgets to keep things organized. "Kitchens are about function, not about all the bells and whistles," says Stilin. Spices are organized and within reach.

Sideboard: Antique console with celadon bowls, platter, and vase from Lucca.

Outdoor Grill: Herbs, vegetables, and flowers on the deck next to the Viking grill.

Rockefeller Center: Overlooking the Rockefeller Center Rink Bar, Sunbrella awnings cover the deck by Trex at the site of the 2009 Kitchen of the Year. Thousands of people are flocking over to see America’s most beautiful kitchen with eco-friendly and elegant yet affordable features such as KraftMaid cabinets, a Viking range and hood, CaesarStone countertops, and a Kohler faucet and sink.

Baja Fresh Testing ‘Future’ Chain Concept in O.C.

July 14th, 2009, 6:47 am · Nancy Luna, Staff Writer

countertops

Baja Fresh Mexican Grill is testing consumer reaction to a more upscale restaurant in Irvine – a prototype eatery that offers bolder food flavors, a more intimate dining experience – featuring quartz countertops - and cocktails.

The restaurant, which underwent a massive remodel last winter, will soon add margaritas and Mexican beer to the menu — a first for corporate restaurants run by the Cypress-based fast-casual chain. (A Baja Fresh franchisee in Huntington Beach recently received a permit to serve margaritas.)

The alcohol is expected to compliment new food additions at the prototype restaurant, which features dishes such as Kogi Korean BBQ tacos, cilantro lime rice and spicier salsa bar offerings.

Also new:

  • Wooden chairs and tables with CaesarStone countertops have replaced bar stools and metal tables at the remodeled restaurant, located in the same center as Gelson’s market.

  • The Irvine restaurant expects to get its permit to serve margaritas and Mexican-branded beer by next month. The margarita will be served in a 12-oz. tumbler on the rocks. Dine-in only! If the test is successful, “we would consider rolling out margaritas and beer in more locations,” said Baja Fresh President Chuck Rink. In fact, “in preparation for this, we have applied for (permits at) 13 more locations.” Stay tuned.

  • Food and drinks are no longer served in paper ‘boats’ and cups for dine-in customers. Instead, the restaurant uses real silverware, plastic cups and melamine plates. Tortilla chips are also brought to your table in a basket.

  • The salsa bar features 7 salsas, including two new spicier salsas. It has also added fresh, pickled carrots — a common table offering at many authentic Mexican restaurants. A new fresh tomatillo salsa has been so well received that the chain plans to debut it soon in all Baja locations, Rink said.

  • A redesigned menu board promotes customization of Baja Classics such as burritos and salads. It recommends a “step by step” ordering process that is similar to how you order at Chipotle Mexican Grill.

  • The Irvine eatery is also testing new meals such as Baja Kogi tacos and burritos. It is also serving cilantro-lime white rice as a side dish. (Later this week, look out for a review of the new Kogi tacos)

The redesign and menu makeover is a test only concept – one that could dictate what the “Baja Fresh of the future” might look like, said Rink.

Irvine Baja address: 5633 Alton Pkwy. (949) 551-2252

L.A. Times Home of the Week: $11 Million Laguna Beach Oceanfront Home Features Caesartone Quartz Countertops & a Ferrari Too!

quartz countertop

Are you shopping the market for an oceanfront home? If so, 31091 S. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach is available. You'll find four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 4,300 square feet on a 6,251-square-foot lot. The asking price: $10.95 million.


This luxurious Laguna Beach home was featured in Home of the Week L.A. Times Home Section. Homeowners Rosanne and Dennis Kline bought the home in 2004 and decided that the ‘80s glass-block look wasn’t their style, so they began a three-year $2.5 million remodel project and put it back on the market.


The home is nestled between Aliso Creek Beach and the Montage Resort & Spa and features many customized additions such as a custom stone steps, Neoporte stainless-steel double doors with glass inserts, hotel-inspired master bathroom, and newly added 30-by-40 foot billiards and bar entertainment area with custom Caesarstone quartz countertop surfaces.


Among some of the luxurious touches, zebra wood cabinets, Venetian plaster, Spanish marble tiles, Murano Italian black glass chandelier, spiral staircases, large ocean-view deck, and private beach.


"We wanted it to be warm and contemporary, not too urban, but clean and functional -- a sense of luxury without being stiff or uptight," said Rosanne Kline, who is also the listing agent.

On the lower level, the Klines removed what was the fifth bedroom and sixth bathroom and opened up a 30-by-40-foot space to create a combination billiards-bar-entertainment area. Designed by Euro Kitchens, the bar brags of SieMatic (German) cabinetry, Caesarstone (natural quartz) countertops, a dual refrigerator-freezer and a Miele mini-bar dishwasher.

So where does the Ferrari come in? As the house has been on the market since last year, one day a professional athlete was touring the property and inquired whether Dennis Kline's 2003 bright-red Ferrari 360 Modena was part of the package. Although it wasn't in the plan, they readily agreed, but the athlete passed and bought another property. From that point forward, however, the Ferrari, with 6,500 original miles, has been used to jump-start interest in the property.

CaesarStone Countertops: First and Only Lifetime Warranty in the Industry



A recent press release by CaesarStone, the pioneer in the quartz countertop industry, announced the first and only lifetime warranty in the industry. Previously warranted for 10 years, CaesarStone decided to provide an added value to all homeowners buying their high quality countertops, in any color or texture available.

This is a huge sigh of relief for any homeowner looking to remodel their kitchen or bathroom in the currently down market. Lifetime warranties are definitely the way to go. Caesarstone quartz surfaces are already one of the best choices for remodeling materials. They are environmentally friendly, stain resistant, scratch resistant, heat resistant, strong and durable, and ultimately the virtually care-free option for bathroom vanity and kitchen countertops.

“Offering a lifetime warranty was an easy transition for us”, said Arik Tendler, President of CaesarStone US. “Basically, CaesarStone has always been made to last for a very long time. Our factory has raised the bar in all standards of manufacturing practices, guided by ISO 14001 environmental standards, the highest standard available. The dedication, devotion and professional training of everyone world-wide who interacts with our product, from the factory to transportation to fabrication, assures that all our products achieve the highest standard of quality control. Everyone at CaesarStone is part of this commitment - its part of our way of life. Because of this devotion to excellence, we have the confidence to offer the first lifetime warranty in the countertop business”.

CaesarStone’s new Lifetime Warranty applies to every new CaesarStone countertop sold to homeowners and fabricated by authorized CaesarStone fabricators. It is non-transferable and valid for homeowners as long as they live in the house in which it has been installed, and it has been properly cleaned and maintained as recommended by CaesarStone.

CaesarStone – headquartered in Southern California - produces premium quartz surfaces, complementing any design application, from traditional to contemporary, for both home and commercial applications. Price range is from $70 to $120 per square foot installed. CaesarStone products are available through kitchen and bath retailers, fabricators, architects, designers, builders and distributors nationwide.

Quartz Countertop Material: The likely choice

Choosing a countertop material can be quite an adventure. It’s important to have an idea of the look you’d like to go for in mind. That way searching for something will be less hectic.

After much browsing and research on the different countertop materials I concluded that Quartz counter tops will be the best fit for my kitchen. I chose an off white color called Blizzard and it has little silver flecks in it that sparkles. The light colored Quartz countertop material brightens up the space so much and it gives my kitchen a good aesthetic appeal.

Besides that this material looks fantastic, the benefits of Quartz counter tops is the low maintenance required, scratch and scorch proof, does not require resealing and has a variety of color that you can choose from.

If you are in search of a countertop material for your home, be sure to compare all of the different materials available and weight your final decisions based on the price and pros/cons. With my thorough research, I found that Quartz countertop is the best choice and I am fully satisfied with my decision.
