We are about to move into a new house and will need to install a new kitchen almost immediately.
It's an old cottage and we are looking at a cream painted kitchen, shaker style units, with a solid timber worktop.
The worktop is oak and beautiful, but expensive. Is it madness to install this in a house with three young children and a feckless husband?! I've read that lots of maintenance is required (this doesn't faze me, if it works) but is it inevitable that we will get black marks if we have a butler or Belfast sink fitted?
If you oil it regularly, does it still mark if the kids place a glass with condensation on it on the top and I don't get there quick enough?
I lOVE the worktop, it's a 60mm deep one and so much nicer than the granite and stone alternatives, but don't want to be weeping in twelve months over the money I have wasted if we go for it.
