Really tired of 'travertine tile' and 'granite counter-tops.'

[gumby]

Travertine tile and granite counter-tops have jumped the shark.

What a bunch of pretentious, obnoxiously overt consumption products.

Just saying.

1. I like granite counter-tops.

I don't know what travertine tile is though.

2. I love granite counter tops

..but, I don't get the travertine all over the place. Just a fad, I guess.

3. At first glance, I thought your message was a dupe of mine.

But it turns out I wasn't a spaz after all.

4. Ha-ha!

Yeah, I looked back and got a chuckle out of that! :hi:

5. Both products are lovely.

But when I tune into the "Home" channels as a respite from Bushworld, it's all travertine and granite all the time.

Enough all ready. Concrete is a slow second. It's all just so homogenized, even if it is pretty.

6. While granite countertops are practical, beautiful, and durable...

...I honestly believe that 'Travertine tile' has become
popular mostly because designers like saying "travertine".

It's a popular buzzword like 'paradigm'; a word intellectually
lazy people toss around in the belief that it makes them appear
intelligent.

I'll bet that:
4 out of five designers who RECOMMEND travertine
tile to their clients who use tile...
have no idea what "travertine" means.

It just sounds cool.

intensive.
