There are lighter colors of granite and I like to break the rules.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Just because one likes to cook up a great meal or decorate their home doesn't mean they have to do it with granite counter tops and duck a l'orange.
The thing I like most in my kitchen is my marble counters. Everybody said not to use marble because it's fragile, it stains, it cracks, and it doesn't remain beautiful. But I love marble.
I love dishes that feature the various shades of a single colour, making you stop to check what's in there.
I looked along the San Juan Islands and the coast of California, but I couldn't find the palette of green, granite, and dark blue that you can only find in Maine.
Color is a big part of what I do. It's like music. There are only so many notes in the scale, but there are endless permutations; there's no limit to the number. Color on the walls or furniture can reflect back and distort the reality of the true colors of lipsticks and eye shadow.
I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.
The rocks, to a great extent, look swept clean. It's a much cleaner surface than what we had a right to hope for.
As with other phases of nature, I have probably loved the rocks more than I have studied them.
Hell is paved with great granite blocks hewn from the hearts of those who said, I can do no other.
England is not a country of granite and marble, but of chalk, marl, and clay.
