Default The Increased Popularity of Granite Kitchen Countertops

The Increased Popularity of Granite Kitchen Countertops
The popularity of granite kitchen countertops has increased
dramatically in recent years, with the media focus on kitchen
remodeling and personal incomes rising. Originally the choice for
granite countertops was limited to wealthy individuals. Today,
homeowners of moderate means choose granite countertops for their
durability as well as beauty. In addition to their utility and
longevity, granite kitchen countertops are one of the few home
improvements that maintain their value. Typically, any appliances,
flooring or cabinetry decisions will only add about twenty-five

Another housing fad that proves the American public is infatuated with
ugly things...the new houses are ugly, the DINKS drive ugly SUV's, men
wear sloppy open collared shirts, sport three day stubble, women do
their hair with eggbeaters and grease, even basketball players wear
uniforns three sizes too large. It's hard to understand why anyone
would want a 1/2 ton countertop thet has to be babied with lotions and
sealers. Even plumbing fixtures are aping some of the absolutley most

cemetary where it can be at peace with it's neighbors and not be
totally out of place in 30 years. My nickels's worth...after
