Good morning Flamingo...
First I will do a slight Hijack...sorry admin, but Flamingo, the saying at the bottom of your posts is so NICE!!
Granite...We had Black Galaxy in our last home and it was beautiful, but required wiping off a LOT, several times a day, because it showed every water spot and glass ring and palm print because it was so shiny.
I have heard a lot about whether granite can be kept as sterile as other surfaces but I always chop and prepare food on those tempured glass chopping surfaces that go in the dishwasher anyway.
We are getting a multicolor sand color in the house we are building. I have been told it doesn't show every water speck.
All granite is of course is a big shined up rock. I always collected "pretty rocks" when I was a kid. I have seen both Corian and quartz that I have just loved from a design perspective. There is a quartz with sparkling stuff embedded in it and it can be quite dramatic.
Pick just what you love and enjoy it. This is YOUR lily pad.
