Handycrafted: Obsession of the day: Butcher Block ...

There's no denying my love affair with the country chic look which probably explains why I love butcher block so much. It adds an element of natural, rustic charm that is at once elegant and casual. Butcher block is way less expensive than any other counter top treatment and is available in a wide array of colors and wood species. It is beautiful when used on a kitchen island, table or even on a strategic work area within your marble/granite counter top.
