I guess that's why we love it so much. The kitchen...not so much. Good call on the redo and the soapstone. I must admit I have always hated granite so I'm happy to see it moving on.

Is it just an effect of the picture, or is everything really monochromatic? Soapstone would be nice--softer than granite both in appearance an on dishes, and it has an old-fashioned look appropriate for the country.<br /><br />I am so happy to see the beginnings of fall color, and the waterfall is intensely beautiful. That barn also is a real winner--so many interesting angles and surfaces.<br />--Road to ParnassusParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-14156260218528445102012-09-26T09:10:58.426-04:002012-09-26T09:10:58.426-04:00I love granite--I went to a granite and marble yar...I love granite--I went to a granite and marble yard once and went crazy. I was just stunned at how many gorgeous granites there are. And it's indestructible. I do think soapstone is the new granite, which is sort of annoying. One of the reasons I am considering it is there a very local soapstone business.

Soapstone has perhaps an even more organic feel,(although I still love dark green granite we installed in our kitchen when we moved up here), earthier, more natural.
