Gala at Holiday House NYC

We are happy to have been a part of last night’s Holiday House NYC’s Gala for Breast Cancer Research.

We had the opportunity to work with our friends at Nash Stone Group to help create the stunning fireplace which is showcased in the master lounge designed by interior designer Vanessa Deleon.

The stone used to create the gorgeous fireplace is ‘Ice Black’, made by Compac Surfaces.

We had a great time supporting a great cause, thank you to everyone involved!

Holiday House, founded in 2008 by interior designer and breast cancer survivor Iris Dankner, is an interior design showhouse that gives the public the opportunity to experience firsthand the talent of renowned interior designers as well as exquisite products from leading home brands.

This Month's Popular Stone: Cambria Ella

We have yet another job that calls for Cambria Ella quartz! This stone features a lattice of lines and intersections embedded in a marbled dove-gray background. 

The tricky part about this stone is that the grain pattern is very broad and noticeable, so if you're choosing it for your home make sure you work with a certified Cambria fabricator like us!

We ensure the stone is cut in the correct direction and that all grains match up accordingly to leave a seamless appearance in your kitchen. 

NY Aquarium Install

Here's some pic from the install at the NY Aquarium!

We had the opportunity to work on this project to remodel the Roof Top Bar and Touch Tank. 
Fish will be added soon!

Solid Marble Carving & Table

This week we had an interesting project carving a cylinder out of a solid block of carrara marble to be used as an end table.

We also created a table made completely out of solid carrara marble! Check out the pics below:

Waterfall Leg Island Counter

New install of a granite waterfall-leg island counter.

Adding a Waterfall leg to your counter creates a finished and polished look for any kitchen. Most counters can have a waterfall leg applied at one of the ends, they aren't only for island counters! Having the stone counter top extend from the top of the counter to the floor instantly creates a very modern appearance.

Calacatta Table Top

Marble and Granite aren't only used for kitchen counter tops!
We also cut and deliver stone to be made into luxury furniture. The piece pictured below is made from Calacatta Marble from Italy and creates an elegant aesthetic to the living space.

Interior Design & Kitchen Remodeling

We work directly with local interior designers in the Brooklyn & NYC area. If you're looking for kitchen and bathroom remodelers, be sure to check out Design Build Brooklyn. 

We work with them by fabricating and installing stone countertops for their kitchen designs. 
Below are some recent projects they've completed for clients using our services.

Before & After - Mitered Edges

Adding a 'mitered edge' is a great way to visually enhance your countertop or table. Mitered edges give the appearance of a thicker piece of stone. In the photos below, you can see that the stone is laid on top of the plywood and then mitered edges are affixed to cover the plywood. This gives the counter the appearance of being a thick & solid single piece of stone.

We polish all the mitered edges to seamlessly come together with the counter top. The edges are cut at 45 degree angles and attached at each corner.

Carrara Grigio Kitchen Counters and Island

This is an up-close look at our current work in progress installation of Carrara Grigio Quartz.
The counter tops were just installed and fit perfectly into space. We'll be installing the backsplash next which will seamlessly match the counters.
