If you're interested in remodeling your kitchen or other areas of your home, most folks focus on appliances, cabinets, and flooring. While those are important aspects of any remodel, countertops are often overlooked. That's unfortunate because counters are among the most important features of your home. They're the focal point of your kitchen, after all.
Maybe that's why homeowners with well-designed, quality countertops tend to sell their homes for more money than those with basic counters. It stands to reason, then, that the counters in your kitchen and bathrooms aren't just good-looking and functional – they're an investment that can provide ROI.
Regardless of the type of home or kitchen you have, chances are there's a style and material that you'll love – from granite countertops in Brewster, MA to quartz and just about everything in between.

Granite Countertops in Brewster, MA: The Natural Choice for Durability and Versatility
Granite is one of the most popular natural stones in the market. As an igneous rock, the granite you're considering was once molten. It was formed as it cooled inside the earth. It is quarried from the mountains of Italy, the U.S., India, Brazil, China, and dozens of other countries around the world. Here at Granite World, we are passionate about this high-quality natural stone and recommend it for a variety of installation purposes, such as kitchen countertops, floors, and other surfaces that undergo heavy usage.
Minerals within the granite look like flecks and are what give it the classic "salt and pepper" look. Other types have veining similar to marble. Generally speaking, granite is a dense-grained, hard stone that can be highly polished or finished in a variety of ways depending on your family's needs. A broad spectrum of colors is available to match the color palette and feel of your home.
What Makes Granite Counters So Popular?
Granite is a highly durable and attractive option for kitchen countertops, floors, table tops, and exterior applications like cladding and curbing. It is available in a range of colors and has been rated as the best overall performer among kitchen countertop materials by a leading consumer magazine.
Unlike synthetic surfaces, granite is incredibly resistant to scratches and heat damage. It is also highly resistant to bacteria and does not get affected by substances like citric acid, coffee, tea, alcohol, or wine. Even with regular use, granite does not stain easily and is almost impossible to scratch. If you want to enhance your granite's resistance to staining, our team can provide you with more information about sealants available on the market.
Granite World Pro Tip
When it comes to granite countertops, high-end options often equate to unique patterns and enhanced durability. However, a higher price doesn't always guarantee better quality. At Granite World Inc., we provide raw materials from the top distributors available. Visit our showroom in Harwich, Massachusetts, and consult with one of our associates to find a granite that fits your needs and budget.
3 Timeless Ways to Complement Your Granite Countertops in Brewster, MA
If you are looking to add a touch of elegance to your kitchen, granite countertops can be a great option. With their intricate patterns and wide range of colors, they can transform a bland cooking space into a bright and merry room. However, since granite counters often steal the proverbial show, it can be tricky to design your kitchen around them.
Keep these easy design tips from the Granite World team in mind once you settle on the color and application of your granite counters:
1. Granite Countertop Decor
Keeping your kitchen looking tidy and organized requires avoiding cluttering your countertops with too many items and decorations. However, you can still enhance the look of your kitchen by adding a few carefully selected decorative items. If your granite countertops have specks of bright colors like green or purple, you can try using appliances, flowers, or decorations in those colors to make the specks in your countertops stand out. This will add a pop of color to your kitchen and elevate its overall appearance.
2. Cabinet Color
Brown, tan, and gray hues are all very popular color choices for granite kitchen countertops. As such, it's wise to choose a cabinet color that complements the natural tones of your countertops. That way, you can avoid creating an overwhelming look in your space. A warm white or a deep, moody color can be used to highlight the beauty of the countertops. If you prefer stained cabinets, pick a shade that matches the colors of your countertops.
3. Floor Pattern
Having a bold pattern on both your countertops and your floors can make your kitchen look cluttered and overwhelming. If you have granite kitchen countertops, it's a good idea to opt for a simple floor design. Choosing a plain tile or wood floor is usually a safe and practical choice.
Quartz Countertops: Elegant Design and Easy Maintenance
Quartz is a type of igneous rock that is made up of oxygen and silicon atoms in a continuous structure of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra (SiO4). It is one of the most abundant minerals on the planet and has been used in the production of kitchen and bathroom countertops for many years. Much like granite countertops in Brewster, MA quartz is an excellent option as it is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance.
Why Do Homeowners in Massachusetts Love Quartz Kitchen Counters?
When it comes to stone choices for your kitchen countertops, quartz ranks among the best choices available. But why? Let's find out.
Beauty
Quartz countertops have become increasingly popular in kitchens, and for good reason. They are designed to imitate the everlasting beauty of natural stone, providing a wide range of captivating colors and patterns. Whether you prefer the sophistication of marble or the simplicity of solid colors, quartz offers endless options to match your preferences. With professional installation services from Granite World Inc., quartz kitchen countertops can effortlessly enhance the visual appeal of any room.
Durability
As a homeowner, you're probably aware of how quickly kitchen countertops can get worn out. Luckily, quartz is a material that can withstand the daily rigors of wear and tear – even if you have kids. That's because quartz is a unique blend of natural quartz crystals, resins, and pigments, making it a highly durable surface. With quartz countertops, you don't have to worry endlessly about scratches or stains ruining the beauty of your kitchen. It is a highly resistant material, making it an ideal choice for busy kitchens and bathrooms that see a lot of activity. In fact, its scratch, stain, and heat-resistant properties make it perfect for everyday use.
Easy Maintenance
It can be frustrating to spend your weekends cleaning and maintaining your countertops. However, by choosing quartz countertops, you can eliminate one task from your to-do list. Quartz surfaces are non-absorbent, meaning that liquids won't seep in, and bacteria won't be able to breed. If there are spills, cleaning them up is as easy as wiping the surface down with a mild detergent and water. There's no need to spend hours scrubbing, buffing, or polishing. As an added bonus, you won't have to worry about sealing your countertops regularly, as you would with granite or marble.
Granite World Pro Tip: Is quartz tough? Yes. Is it indestructible? Unfortunately, it is not. Quartz is a surface that can be damaged permanently by exposure to strong chemicals and solvents that can weaken its physical properties. You should avoid using products that contain trichloroethane or methylene chloride, such as paint removers or strippers. Also, stay away from any highly aggressive cleaning agents like oven or grill cleaners that have high alkaline and PH levels.

Cape Cod restaurant news: Here's what's opening in the former Kate's Seafood in Brewster

This week’s Cape Cod restaurant news brings some new names and some familiar faces to the table, as well as a Bloody Mary cocktail contest in Hyannis.
And in case you missed last week’s Tidbits column, we visited the Loafy Lark in East Wareham, on the Buzzards Bay line, and found a world of flavors, including dishes from Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam, Korea, Cuba and the Mediterranean.
Back here on Cape Cod, there is news this week that Baleine Wine Bar will open in Dennis, Pete’s Point Restaurant & Tavern in South Dennis is reopening, and The Cape House in Brewster will open in the spot where Kate’s Seafood stood for 39 years.
Bloody Mary mix-off in Hyannis
Embargo hosts its 9th annual Aston’s Bloody Mary Mix Off from 1 to 4 p.m. April 27. Tickets, available through Eventbrite, are $40 for general admission and $60 for VIP, which starts an hour earlier. Tickets include unlimited Bloody Mary samples from 20 restaurants, made with sponsor Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and a passed brunch sponsored by Embargo. Not a fan of Bloody Marys? Embargo will be selling wine, spirits, beer and mimosas, with all proceeds of the event supporting Early Intervention and its work on the Cape and Islands. A raffle, silent and live auctions will also take place throughout the day.
The Pheasant restaurant owners add a wine bar
Erica Dunn reports that she and her husband, Adam, plan to open a wine bar called Baleine next month, in the Dennis space formerly occupied by Harvest Gallery Wine Bar.
“It’s just a two-minute drive from The Pheasant, so it’ll create a fun little circuit for people spending time in the area, before or after dinner. We plan to open early for a post beach cocktail and stay open a bit later for after dinner drinks and dessert,” Erica Dunn emailed.
Target date to open Baleine is mid-May.
“Baleine will offer a focused but dynamic wine list (all wines available at Dunn & Sons), along with beer, cocktails, and music with vinyl DJs,” Dunn wrote, mentioning the couple’s wine store on Route 6A in Yarmouth Port.
The new venture is named Baliene after the French word for whale.
“It was the perfect bridge between our love for French wine and the maritime character of the Cape. The word felt coastal, elegant, and just a little unexpected. It had the right sound, the right spirit — the right vibe,” Erica Dunn responded when asked about the name.
Pete’s Point Restaurant & Tavern, 430 Route 134, South Dennis, 508-258-0118
Speaking of what’s in a name, original owners Peter and Elizabeth Skordas are back at Pete’s Point Restaurant & Tavern. The plan was to reopen April 15.
“Old favorites, new specials, and a refreshed new look. With Pete back at the helm, it’s time to Get Back To The Point!!” said the restaurant’s Facebook page.
Pete’s Point’s sister restaurant, Olympia Seafood, also heralded the reopening.
Pete’s owners posted on Facebook a full menu of apps, sandwiches, fried seafood and entrees.
The Cape House opens in May in former Kate’s Fried Seafood & Ice Cream
For 39 years, Kathy and John Ohman ran the popular eatery, Kate’s Seafood, at 284 Paine's Creek Road in Brewster.
Now, after the Ohmans spent last summer working with new owners Robert and Izabelle Crisanti, the restaurant is set to re-open in May as The Cape House.
“We knew we were going to buy it. It made the most sense to spend a summer working there to get their knowledge from the past 40 years,” Robert Crisanti said in an interview last week.
Crisanti said customers won’t see a lot of changes in the first year.
“The main menu will be primarily fried seafood and scooped ice cream. Izabelle is trying to add fish tacos. We’re thinking about adding a fried chicken sandwich,” Robert Crisanti said.
Both of the Crisantis are culinary school grads and they plan to try weekly specials to see which entrees are popular.
“We just want to keep in place their successful menu and elevate what they were doing,” he said.
Izabele Crisanti said she also loves to work with local farmers, so the new menu may incorporate salads with roasted vegetables.
The couple is also interested in serving locally made beers and wines. One of the big changes is that the new owners have applied for a seasonal liquor license for the restaurant, which has 75 outside seats. The town has approved, Robert Crisanti said, and the couple are waiting on approval from the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
The Crisantis, currently living outside Philadelphia, have rented a home in Brewster where they will live while running their seasonal restaurant, slated to open May 16, the weekend before Memorial Day.
The couple, who have two young children of their own, are also looking to install some kind of outside activities for families at The Cape House.
The plan is to start by being open six days a week and then switching to seven days for July and August. The Cape House is hiring cooks and counter help. Anyone interested may email thecapehouse284@gmail.com.

Animal rescue workers on Cape Cod reunited a mother raccoon with her babies after they were separated this weekend.
The Cape Wildlife Center responded Sunday to a home in Brewster, Massachusetts, after the babies dropped into the fireplace while the mother remained hidden in the chimney.
The baby raccoons were found to be healthy and well-hydrated, "indicating they have not been separated from mom long," the organization said in a Facebook post.
They were left outside the house in a carrier with "supplemental heat support."

"To encourage mom to leave on her own we suggested the homeowner shine bright lights up into the chimney and play loud music to encourage her to find a new safer spot for her babies," the Cape Wildlife Center wrote.
A trail camera set up to monitor the baby raccoons recorded their mother making two separate trips to relocate them to a new spot.
"This is a very common scenario this time of year with animal moms of all species trying to find locations to use as nests and dens," the organization said. "Using techniques to encourage mom to move her babies on her own is the best way to ensure the family stays together."
The Cape Wildlife Center said it welcomes calls from people who need help humanely removing animals from their homes.
"We are always happy to talk you through how to kindly evict unwanted wild guests so if you find yourself in a similar situation please give us or your local wildlife rehabilitator a call," it said.

A fire at a Brewster Green Resort building resulted in "significant" structural damage, according to Brewster Fire Chief Kevin Varley. No injuries were reported.
Around 1:13 a.m. Tuesday, Brewster Fire Department responded to a fire on Cherrywood Lane, according to a press release. The address was unknown to firefighters when they responded to the call, but upon arrival they identified condos 13, 15, 19 and 21 on Cherrywood Lane.
The two-story building was unoccupied, according to the press release. The fire was finally controlled a little before 3 a.m. but, according to Varley, "there were still smaller fires we had to work on." Firefighters were on scene until about 6 a.m.
Due to the size of the fire, firefighters requested a second alarm, bringing in additional support from fire departments in Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Chatham, Orleans and Eastham.
The State Fire Marshal's Office is currently investigating the cause and origin of the fire, but preliminary causes are not believed to be suspicious, according the press release.
