Not my Dad&#39;s Corian

When I become in excessive school, my Dad renovated our rest room. I am the fifth youngster out of seven creating a circle of relatives of nine. The house where we grew up became large, we had masses of room. But instances were distinctive then, and the nine folks shared a single bathroom. That turned into a few sort of fun, allow me tell you. So Dad's decision to renovate the toilet single-handedly became now not one he undertook gently.

My Dad by no means did whatever 1/2 way, he nevertheless would not. Since this occurred in 1979, he used Corian for not simply the arrogance counter, but for the shower surround as well. I by no means appreciated his labors till I was older (his labors on this bath in addition to his many different labors) however the guy changed into a surprise. Again, because it changed into 1979, my Dad's astounding rest room was a vision in Venaro Peach.

As my appreciation for my Dad's devotion and dedication to his family grew, my esteem for his desire of substances declined. Times changed and tastes changed. Over time, extra materials have become available and Corian fell from prefer because the move-to choice for kitchen and tub surfaces.

I've been referring to it's entire category, solid surface, as dying for years. I think the last time I put it in a kitchen was six or seven years ago, and that was under extreme duress.

Well imagine my shock when I saw the delightful Jamie Goldberg's Gold Notes on Tuesday and I read her column about the "new" Corian. This is not my Dad's Corian and my predictions of its death might have been premature.

Corian has just re-tooled its logo and its palette. Check out these beauties.
