How Preciou(stone)!

Precioustone Collection:

With over 20 colors to choose from, our slabs are supplied by the renowned Antolini Luigi and handcrafted in Italy. Gemstones that have historically been used for jewelry including amethyst, quartz, tiger eye, agate and jasper have now become the focal point of masterpieces in architectural designs for countertops, desks, tub surrounds and any other elegant space in which you desire to make a bold statement. Each slab of these specially selected specimens has been painstakingly laid out and hand assembled by experienced craftspeople.

Backlit-The Precioustone Collection’s beauty is spectacular in any application, but part of its opulent charm is that many of these materials can also be backlit to offer a more unique and striking look.

Applications-Precioustone is meant to have that “wow” factor! Make fantasy a reality with any space. Precioustone can be found in the home as countertops for the kitchen or bathroom or can even be used as art pieces. Commercial applications, such as bars, would definitely make a statement with this collection. Wherever you can envision Precioustone, is where it is meant to be!

Always Make a Grand First Impression!

First impressions are lasting impressions. It only takes one-tenth of a second for someone to paint an image of who you are or how you live. They aren’t always accurate, and can be misleading at times. We are all very critical of one another, especially each other’s homes. If this very second, someone were to walk through your front door, what would your entryway say about you?

Remember the entryway sets the tone for the rest of your home. Work with the space you have. Determine whether you want to make a comfy and inviting entryway or a bold and daring one. There is no wrong or right way when it comes to decorating your entryway, it’s more of a sample taste of what your visitors will get when they enter your home.

A great entryway doesn’t always have to be over the top; pick and choose what you want your focal point to be. Check out this amazing Feathered Oyster Quartzite installation that T&M supplied. This practical home chose to enhance and focus on the flooring, while keeping the walls neutral and furniture minimal. (This is definitely not your ordinary entryway, but we love it!)

Feathered Oyster Quartzite

Below is actually the entryway to our wheeling location. Being a terrazzo & stone company, we decided to make the flooring part of the main attraction. It is a beautiful blend of Terrazzo, Marble and Limestone.

We are speechless, check out this 160 sqft epoxy terrazzo rug in the entryway of this private residence. Create the illusion of a rug by using terrazzo or natural stone. This method will not only outlast the life of a rug, but the home itself!

You don’t always have to concentrate on the flooring. You can engage visitors immediately by displaying family photos or art in the entryway. You can make your entryway super girly or macho manly. Remember it’s your entryway and it’s a vision of your personality.

The most important rule to follow is to make your entryway inviting.

White Marble = Classic Beauty

That gorgeous classic white marble with gray veining has been used around the world for years now. Discovered before the first century, white marble has proven that it can stand the test of time. Some of the most beautiful and historic artwork is composed of white marble. The Taj Mahal, the Statue of David and the Jefferson Memorial are just a few. White is anything but boring.

White marble comes in a variety of finishes including honed, polished and tumbled and is available in both tile and slab. It is recommended for both residential and commercial projects, including flooring, countertops, and backsplash. It can brighten any room, creating the illusion of a larger space. It’s a rich material that adds beauty to any space. As you notice style fads constantly changing, a gorgeous Calacatta Gold countertop or that amazing Statuario White backsplash will always be in style.

Of course, one of the most common places to see marble is the bathroom.
