They cost more than most granites. I think it would kill me more than tearing out granite!

I'm not sure I would do it, but if I did, I'd feel less guilty about changing them in 10 years than I would changing out granite.

You have to see these color samples in real life, they are the colors you'd find in a box of Popsicles. Really.

I'm glad to hear you guys have a CPA. Explain to the yahoos who did your counters that you are filing a complaint and then start writing. The delays and lack of communication were bad enough, but to have done a lousy job on top of it is too much.

I just checked -- yep, we have a consumer protection agency here. We'll have to submit a written complaint to the business before we can file a complaint with the CPA.

I'm just so completely disgusted with these morons -- the guy who promised that he'd call me today never did. Not that I'm surprised, that's pretty much what I expected.

I do love the purple Silestone :-) I'm also really diggin' the green and blue ones :-)

Needless to day, the purple one reminded me of you Kelly. Oh, and I've been working on an e-mail response to you and Brian regarding your own granite mess. I have never heard of the kind of run around you're getting with your counters. It's beyond the pale, really. Does Ontario have anything like a Consumer Protection Agency?

YES, I would use those for counters in my home!! I...

YES, I would use those for counters in my home!! I love bright colours -- they're so cheery and fun to look at :-)

Plus I bet the Silestone people are better to work with than the granite yahoos we're dealing with *GROAN*

I can see that color more readily on a wall than I can a counter. Although if I think about it long and hard I'm sure that I could put together a room that could handle it.

Funny you should bring this up. I sat back last night to watch TLC channel, the show where Kate answers your most compelling questions about the show, the kids, the drama. I always watch shows and wind up critiquing the sets, the staging and so forth.

I actually admired the use of the color that looks like "Dream" as the paint color on her Q & A set. They used a white slip covered love seat with that punch of tangerine glow as the back drop color on the wall behind her and it looked great.

That's the exact thought I had. This palette was r...

That's the exact thought I had. This palette was rolled out in early summer and it was at the low point of the housing market here and probably the rest of the country too. Bravo to Silestone for taking a risk and attempting to turn the tide.

Thanks for stopping by!

In a negative economy I think it's a sign of our hope that we are drawn to cheerful splashes of color. These would be fun for a bath vanity, especially for kids; office or craft room; a bold kitchen backsplash! Thanks Paul! Good to know.
