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.

My sister has granite and I always feel like I'm going to break stuff on it.

It's pretty though.

Debet,

2 surfboards (and a body of water)

What are the circumstances for this?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

One surfer on each of two surfboards, holding connected tin can telephones. Bonus points for style.

I'm very happy with all-black appliances—they barely show any smudges! But if owning rather than renting I'd probably want some kind of stone countertops rather than the speckled formica I currently have. (It's pretty enough, but I cracked the bathroom sink countertop by leaning on it too hard and it makes me leery of the sturdiness/heat resistance of the kitchen surfaces.)

Stone tile in the shower definitely makes this the best bathroom I've had in terms of appearance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I could probably hook you up with a minister, depending.

In other news, Angela Lansbury has finally talked me into becoming a monthly PBS supporter. I realized that I've been watching a lot more Nova and Nature lately, and even though I don't watch Downton Abbey it's the kind of Merchant Ivory-esque programming I think public television should expose people to.

She's a seductive one, that Angela Lansbury.
