crema delicato: coming soon

Crema delicato; lovely in all its varities. below is one of the slabs that will be going in my kitchen.

although quartz is the most practical choice, we decided we are sick of practical and are going to start living for beauty. they misquoted us significantly on the slab, but our new motto in demopolis is plan on getting hosed.

we also decided to go with marble because we live in an historic town, and marble has that timeless flair to it that man-made products don't have. hopefully it will help with the resell.

a couple of tips for those putting marble in their kitchen: GET IT HONED. lemon, ketchup, salad dressing, and other acidic things will eat the shine on your marble; we tried it for ourselves on a spare marble tile.

another note: while shopping for bar stools in tuscaloosa we came across this table for $98. it was perhaps the first good deal we've gotten in 6 months. the best part: it fit in our van, yeah quest.

sits 10-12 with the leafs. not quite our style but the price was right.

Great table. I can imagine all the fun meals taking place with family and friends...unless you are planning on 10-12 of your own:)

Your house is BEAUTIFUL. I've been stalking/reading and am amazed (though not surprised) by all of the hard work you guys are putting into it. Well, I was just thinking of y'all and thought I'd say hi and great job!!!
