re: I'm trying to choose granite ... do you know what yours is? (update on page 4)

I like funky / mis-matched colors and textures to an extent, just as a general philosophy across different design platforms - home decor, clothing, vehicles, graphic design. If done right there are endless combinations of design styles that can make a kitchen (or anything) all at once visually appealing, functional, personal and unique. I shy away from generic muted finishings from the Home Depot sales aisle that are ubiquitous across suburbia.
