You tell me, which would be more desirable in a house...

We're coming up to the last stages of finishing a house. I can't really justify sticking everything on the wishlist in it but the house will have oak flooring throughout downstairs and a high gloss kitchen with a lovely glass splashback.

I think that stone worktops are lovely but I also would like to introduce glass balustrading on the staircase but as I'm concerned about overall costs and so I'm considering maybe saving a bit by having a wood worktop instead of stone. I think the kitchen is going to look great anyway.

H this evening is minded to do both, but thinks that when push comes to shove the granite is absolutely essential and would dump a glass staircase in favour of granite worktops because he says that wood looks like you're being cheap. I'm thinking about spreading the expense around the house a bit more rather than concentrating much of it in the kitchen, although no doubt the stairs are going to cost more than the worktop.

Honestly, this conversation has been going on for months. No doubt I'm probably trying to influence you in my favour, lol, but if you were viewing a house, which would you prefer to see, which do you think might add more value if the choice were between one or the other?

I've never started a poll before :T in fact I very rarely start threads (you wouldn't believe that with this post count, I know!) Someone had better vote :rotfl:
