Top Kitchens and Baths of 2010, Impala Black granite kitchen and Christmas decor!

I'm a sucker for end-of-the-year lists. I don't know why, but I really like summing up the past year every December.
So of course I'm loving all the articles on Houzz lately.
Check out the Top Kitchens of 2010 on Houzz.

Small & Chic in C-ville is one of my favorite blogs.  She just did Impala Black granite in her kitchen.  She has great Before and After pictures of her kitchen here.

I have the weekly Whiteout Wednesday feature here on our blog because White Kitchens are definitely all the rage.  Which makes this Houzz article even more interesting to me for some reason...18 Inspiring Not-All-White Kitchens.

In the Christmas spirit?  This is not stone related, but Studio Ten 25 has been doing a really fun Christmas Open House on her blog the past week.  It's always fun to see inside other people's homes....I say that in the least creepy way possible.
