As the ultimate know-nothing beginner, Lee Wallender's first experience with home renovation was remodeling a 100 year-old house.

I challenge you.  From now on, whenever you watch an old movie--1960 or earlier--that displays a kitchen, pay attention to the counters.  Chances are good that the counter is made of ceramic or porcelain tile.

In the absence of today s favored countertops--quartz, solid surface, or slab granite--homeowners choices would have been limited to laminate counters, metal, wood, or nothing .

Today s style of long, continuous counters atop base cabinets really only took hold in middle-class residential kitchens after WWII.

All of that amounts to one thing:  4 tiles on the countertop make a kitchen look retro.  You may not like the functionality (all those seams!), but you will appreciate the vintage look.
