Question: “We’re re-doing our kitchen. How do you feel about granite countertops?”

Hermanity Answer: (Yawn) Been there, done that. They are SO over did. Give concrete or recycled glass a try. More eco & budget friendly!

Recycled glass is the new Granite

Watch me enumerate with my trademark sass & sagacity the reasons why this viewer should skip granite counter tops!

  • Bad for mother earth
  • Requires too many Benjamins
  • Honey, that ship has sailed. Next!

What do you think? Are granite counter tops here to stay? Or have you discovered some great alternatives? Please share!
