Yes... it is the place I mentioned with the pure white marble floors from Thassos Greece! It's the same house they used for Barbie's 50th B-day Party too. <BR/>Your post is excellent!! I like ALL the different stones you've shown. I absolutely LOVE the one you choose for your kitchen! I can't wait to see how the whole kitchen turned out. It looks fabulous! :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675560255622233368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-7534037888063123872009-04-03T21:59:00.000-04:002009-04-03T21:59:00.000-04:00Great post Victoria.

Have been looking at the stone yards -- oh my those big slabs are inspiring. I like the Crema the best -- I laughed when I saw that you chose it for your kitchen.<BR/>I love soapstone -- even love the smell of it! My mother's laundry sink was soapstone. But -- too much maintenance for me. Thanks for a great read.<BR/>CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-84410139179090745332009-04-03T14:36:00.000-04:002009-04-03T14:36:00.000-04:00Great post!!

I love granite, but alas, it did not fit our budget as this was an "emergency" remodel lol. Love all the choices that you showed us, and that marble bathroom is stunning.

Most of the houses have natural stone floors. When the laminated wood flooring became so cheap people started to buy it, but it never replaced stone. I guess it comes from all those roman empire roots :)qerathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749203820088469885noreply@blogger.com
