Re: Prediction 2010: Granite Countertops Are So Last Decade
Ok, everyone rela! Just like there are billions of people in the world with different personality, there are as many choices for counter tops. Before my comment, there were 29 different versions of how good or bad the granite counter top is. And, boy every one had an opinion about it. People make discions about what to use on their counter tops based on their taste, budget and how well their sales person suckers them into buying that material, at that particular time in their lives. So, if we really throw this article out there and get everyone's opinion then you'll see no one is right. The quality of the counter tops depend on the individual use of them. So, we can jump up & down about it and no one is going to be exactly right at the end. I can tell you stories about my counter tops then I have to write a book about it. Remember when you bought that old Chevey of yours and were going around bragging about it? Well it was the best for you at the time, but as you got older then you had to change to Cadillac because you could afford it, so same goes with your counter tops. Of course you need to ask about the cooking habits of those who put the granite down or the ones who condemned the laminated ones then you'll get your answer. Granite, is beautiful, but if you got the eyes for the beauty, and it can be ugly or hard to maintain, if you got no eyes for the beauty and you never clean after yourself in the kitchen.
