My Vintage Kitchen Stove (chambers c model) when we first built, we've upgraded the counters since.

This is the "before" of our kitchen. We designed it this way. This is a brand new house, and we brought the stove with us and had the kitchen built to fit it. The countertops were perfectly plain formica, but they were taking a beating with cratt projects and general wear and tear. As much as I don't love granite, I can't keep up with marble and tile gets too dirty. So, we found a nice, pale, subtle granite we actually rather liked and also added subway tile.
