Yes, it is a solid oak counter top. The oils we recommend using are "Osmo" and we tend to use a flat matt. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for your interest

Hi, I would steer away from white. I am in similar situation like you and am an interior designer. There are lots of options but the one I'm more inclining to (in your case) is light grey like Farrow & Ball Pavilion Gray for example. It's pale but has a hint of grey tone in it which would create a really nice contrast between the warmth of the cherry wood. Also if you are using the top a lot, I'm using mine all the time, have you perhaps considered having a glass top? My top got really badly damaged by a oven cleaner gel when I put the tray on it and the whole surface just peeled off. In my case I want to protect it with glass. Just a thought... If you need a more detailed direction, I give lots of free advice on social media and my blog. Or you can just contact me with more info about your dilemma. Karolina

The description from the original source says:- Cabinetry from Premier Custom Built rift cut white oak with tincture www.premiercb.com I I presume therefore, that they have used solid oak and given it a finish which would be durable in a kitchen. You would need to contact them to find out more.

Thank you everyone for your comments so far, some really good ideas! I'm definitely feeling the tuxedo trend at the moment (and colourhappy's picture about looks like it might go with the counters) but would the Range then look out of place? Unfortunately, because of the temperature of the room, we've had to put a rug on the floor just to give us a little softness underfoot - so it doesn't really feature in our scheme plan. love all your mock ups celerygirl, really helpful! I really like all the variations on green, but the husband isn't so keen, but I'll show him all the others to see if that sparks anything. All the doors have weird latches on instead of handles, so next it'll be deciding on what to replace them with! thanks all

tadelakt plaster and concrete counters

I’ve got tadelakt walls and a concrete basin. i can’t recommend other finishes but you need to be wary of staining both and just use water for cleaning the tadelakt and a PH neutral cleaner for the concrete. I was also advised to wipe the walls down after showering which is a faff. I dont know whether it was just the guys i used but they said i couldn’t test colours which was a worry working off a colour chart! The first coat that went on was a clean peach (meant to be a dirty pink), I was adamant the colour was wrong and it transpired there was a colour code mix up at the supplier, thankfully, otherwise I’d have picked up the cost to correct. I think the counters are just made in moulds and then they’re cured for x period, obviously check the sealing too. I would just be aware of how heavy they are, our basin is only 60cm wide and weighed an absolute ton and is fixed to a solid wall. Ours arrived with a chip on arrival due to the courier mishandling but thankfully the company made a replacement asap. When the tadelakt was done they warned me if there were any issues then it cant be touched up, the whole wall needs to be redone. Very recently I discovered I must have a roof leak as the tadelakt is starting to stain with mould in a couple of places...(I’m currently in denial and thankfully my husband hasn’t questioned my next steps yet!). The tadelakt also needs periodical resealing which is labour intensive and only works if you have more than one bathroom. I really love the texture and look but wouldn‘t do it again tbh
