My latest marble counters went in the other day
I've been running on this job for the last couple of months and the marble counters went in earlier this week. This is Carrera marble with a honed end and it's turned out virtually properly. I even have to mention that I've by no means seen Carrera this beautiful so kudos the Rick and the Gang at Custom Marble in Tampa for locating the slabs this counter was crafted from. This Carrera has veins of a taupe colour in it and it rings a bell in my memory of its sister stone, Statuary marble. To come up with an idea of the dimensions of this counter, the peninsula within the foreground is crafted from a unmarried, whole slab. That's a pretty massive counter.
I think it is all beautiful and my home owner's ecstatic approximately her preservation. There's a chunky chrome steel shelf taking place the wall to the left of the hood, in order that nook won't be as out of kilter as it seems now whilst it's completely executed. The contractor's goal is to be out of there via Christmas, so if the celebs align for him I'll have some images of the completed room subsequent week.
The cabinetry is a non-beaded inset door with an uncovered, black very last hinge. I used cherry with a clearly dark stain called coffee. The cabinetry got here from Medallion's Platinum line and if you visit their internet site, the door style is referred to as Craftsman.
Here's the door in a light-stained oak so you can see the details of it. I loved using this traditional door in a nontraditional and clean way. All around, I'm pretty keen on this room and it's as close to something I'd want for myself as I've worked on in ages. But man! I wish I would have found out about those Bocci 22s in September when this whole thing started.
