For the countertop, we wanted something attractive that didn't cost a fortune. We checked the local Habitat ReStore a few times but couldn't find anything to meet our needs. Found some great deals on Ikea, but the shipping turned out to be three times the cost of the actual piece. In the end, we decided to make our own. Courtney bought a 24 x 72 inch glued Aspen board for $50. She also found us a sink, faucet and stove, and set to work designing the countertop space. After lots of careful measuring (her specialty, not mine), we cut the holes for the stove and sink, and Courtney applied 3 coats of polyurathane.
