I don't like granite. I like butcher block, which no one else likes anymore. I do like stainless, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a feeling that butcher block was going to come back any minute, but that's probably based on one episode of an HGTV show.

I've been joining Facebook groups that relate to growing up in the Pennsylvania county I was born in. Lord, the memories that are being brought up. Is this a sign of a midlife crisis, being pulled back to your youth?

I don't like granite. I like butcher block, which no one else likes anymore.
I feel very much this way.

I like butcher's block. The cabin I stayed in this past June had it, and it was very nice (and recently built, I think, so maybe on trend?). I don't remember what the appliances were like for sure - oh, wait, there are pictures online [link] looks like stainless.

What I wish I could get are kitchen counters that gently slope into the sink so the drips from drying dishes don't just puddle there. Sinks all seem to be slightly raised above the counters now and it drives me nuts whenever I wipe down a counter and hit that lip of sink. I'd blame it on whoever renovated my kitchen, but I've run into it too many places.

The thing I don't like about my granite countertops is they are black with sparkly flecks, and that makes it very hard to see if it's clean.
I don't dislike non-stainless appliances (and agree that HGTV people who are all "NO CANNOT HAVE THIS HOUSE WITH NO STAINLESS!" are ridic), but don't think there's a different thing I like better? I find the ones where everything including the fridge is disguised as a wood cabinet weird, and almond or white or black ones seem old, but colors seem like they'd go out of style quickly, so...yeah. Bronze! Bronze should be the new stainless!

I would love butcher block. In the condo marketplace there's really nothing at all but the granite and stainless.

Our wings are not tired.
I like granite but not stainless, and yet I have both in the house I am renovating for sale because that is what it needs to be. The Ice stuff looks interesting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My sister has granite and I always feel like I'm going to break stuff on it.
It's pretty though.
