Granite Counter tops...are they the 'only' acceptable surface now?

Good one!

Jeff on "Flipping Out" declared travertine "over" a year or two ago. I'm sure slate was out before that and tumbled marble...well....

I live in a subdivision where there are multi-million dollar 5,000 to 12,000 sf homes. Most of them have granite and they are gorgeous and sell well. I've seen lovely kitchens with counters from quartz composite, butcher block, even laminate - whatever you love - that is what you should have. I like all you guys, but I really don't care what kind of counter tops you have and find it pretty amusing that people can become so angry over such a subjective choice.

Is your post any better? You are truly passing hate filled judgement on me. I got offended with people pushing the product and saying things that I know aren't true. So what?

I love living here in Southern California. Too bad we can't post and speak our minds without being so condemned by somebody like you.
