It’s time when I need help. Since I’m new at this re-doing a house thing, I need to hear about your experience.
The Kitchen. This is where we need to do the most work. We are going to replace most of the appliances now (cooktop, oven, dishwasher) but I have no idea where to look to get the best deals, what brands are the best and good deals. Also we are hoping to replace the counter tops and flooring. Thankfully we don’t have that much of either of those (we have more of cabinets than counter tops and I’m happy about that). So what I’m asking is….where do you find the best deals on appliances and what brands do you like?
As for the countertops, we are thinking about doing tile. We like to be different than other people and not many people we know have tile so it wouldn’t be like we are doing what everyone else is doing. Does anyone have tile countertops or has experience with them. I know one down fall would be you would need a flat service to rollout any type of dough, but I’m ok with that. For the flooring, we are throwing around the idea of concert stones. I have seen pictures of these and it’s really neat how they look like cremate tile. Like the countertops, it’s different. Any thoughts on this?

I do not recommend tile countertops. We have them and food/flour/etc stick in the grout (very hard to clean), the grout starts to crumble with moisture, etc. and I don't have flat surfaces for rolling dough. I will never have tile again. :)
I hope y'all have fun with the remodeling! It sounds like you are off to a great start.
You might want to look into concrete countertops. It would be like tile but all one piece and cheaper than granite. You can do it yourself for the price of concrete, stain and a few tool rentals but you might want to price a pro as well.
