[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Granite is definitely dated. As I said in the other thread, it screams 2002.[/quote]

And as several of us said in the other thread, you are a moron![/quote]

+1, the other counters people want are silstone or quartz which do their best to look like granite but are less maintenance. concrete or glass are fads that will die out soon.[/quote]

Granite is a fad and done.

I realize DC tends to lag behind in trends and tastes, but come ON.[/quote]

Um, those links don't really support the point.  The first one is a "prediction" that concludes, "don't rule out laminates."  Really, you're going to follow that advice?

The second one comes from someone who also thinks that walk-in tubs were a trend, based on what he sees in late-night infomercials.  Really?  Walk in tubs are in vogue for the olds who also need chair lifts.  Personally I'm not taking design advice from this guy:  [img]http://0.tqn.com/d/g/20780.jpg[/img].

The third one just links to the guy recommending laminates and to an article that says, "I just got granite countertops in my kitchen this year and while other more trendy countertop choices may become even more popular than granite, I sure don’t see these being ripped out anytime soon from homes all over the country.  I’m thoroughly enjoying my granite and feel quite blessed to have it."

So if you're so insecure that any suggestion that you might be out of style makes you run out and follow the next trend, by all means go for it -- I hear crushed glass is the next big trend in crib materials.  [/quote]

Whatevs. Enjoy you outdated granite countertops. It's ok. You can always swap it out when you list your house.[/quote]
