Re: Prediction 2010: Granite Countertops Are So Last Decade

OMG...love this take on granite. I have been saying this same thing for years. What really creeps me out about granite is the surface. I know, it's very porous, which helps prevent bacteria build up.. But I HATE the way the water pools on it. Reminds me of a public restroom.

I predict another thing hopefully on it's way out - center of the house kitchens. Ugh...so boring..no windows...no charm. Tons of cabinets. I predict we will go back to isolated kitchens with tons of light with an actual kitchen table in the middle. We are going to build a house with this look - the only thing that I can't figure out is how to incorporate an island since I love to cook like a chef and still retain the centered kitchen table.
