There is something to be said for going ahead and putting in "permanent" features if they fit in the budget when building your home. But what's a girl to do when that permanent feature is granite counter tops in her kitchen on top of cabinets that are dated...Do people actually purchase used granite? Although I do like my Dakota Mahogany granite, I wouldn't be opposed to a change. And I am aware that if we remove it to use it on new cabinets, there is a chance we break it. Our house was built in 1996 and my pink pickled oak cabinets are out dated and I also need to replace a Jenn air gas range cooktop that is in an island. Sink and faucet also need to be replaced!
