Tile is good. While I hate grout I do appreciate the ability to swap out a broken tile should the need arise. That is if one has a spare tile. Most older styles once very common are impossible to find now.
Tile is what I have in my shack .. I keep a spare box of tiles in the workshop. My tile runs form the countertops and then curves where it meets the wall and runs all the way up to the ceiling so I can just hose it all down if and when I need to. It can get pretty messy in the Chunder kitchen as I slaughter my own animals in there from time to time. I'd like to tile the ceiling, but my back is just not up to laying around on a scaffold any more and I don't trust the labor around her for shit.
I have seen some Formica installs lately that got me taking a second look at it. Real clean and simple. I stayed in a little residential retreat in Coyote Hole last summer while my place was being tented for a spider infestation. It had a stylish little kitchen with Formica. Not that cheap nasty looking crap like what you're used to seeing in places. It had that Japanese minimal type look to it.
Stainless can be okay. I just prefer baked enamel. It's harder to come by since the process is being outlawed for environmental reasons.

I reviewed a home in Sebastopol earlier this year that I described as a stage set and further claimed (Accurately) that the photographs of the property were deceptive. That review came to the attention of the listing agent and his broker and they are livid. My description of this property was accurate and the opinions expressed were honest, but the listing broker is a big dog. I now face the possibility of a monetary fine (Up to $5k)and possible suspension of my license if they decide to pursue matters. Apparently expressing an honest but negative opinion is considered to be unethical behavior by a Realtor if done publicly, in writing. I worked for a small, locally owned brokerage and they can not afford to fight one of the big dogs. That's the reality. I will be hooking up with a different local outfit, but won't be writing more reviews of homes for Patrick.net, I can't afford to. What about my principles? If the board goes after me I will fight them on First Amendment grounds, if they don't I will stay quiet. I don't like it, but my choices are not good. If you are curious about a property in Sonoma County feel free to contact me at StoneForHomes@Gmail.com. You will get an honest and informed opinion.
