    Synopsis

    Natural stone is one of the most expressive materials on earth. No two slabs are alike, yet every piece is unrivaled for warmth, strength, and resilience. Today, natural stone is the hottest trend for interiors—whether as a stylish tiled floor, a dramatic fireplace surround, or a kitchen counter that will last a lifetime.Hundreds of photographs provide inspiration for the myriad ways to use this oldest of building materials, be it granite, marble, limestone, slate, or travertine. And the wide variety of designs featured in Stone prove that it is easy to use it anywhere in your own home, even on a tight budget. Stone is a comprehensive and easy-to-use guide to bringing natural stone into the home. Color charts reveal the wide range of tones available. A buyer's guide matches rooms and lifestyles with the right stone. Other tips help with budgeting and finding the right installer—or doing it yourself.

    December 20, 2003: In a nutshell, if you want to create a gorgeous, one of a kind interior that will endure the life of your home, buy this book. The photos are amazing, and very do-able for the average homeowner taking on a remodel as well as the person building their dream home. I found the 'do it yourself' stone installation section extremely helpful, as I am planning to lay my own tiles. If you plan to use natural stone in your kitchen, bathroom, on the floor, or anywhere in your home, get this book first and read it cover to cover!

    November 23, 2003: I received this book as a gift and am so glad I did. It is so much more than one might think just by the title and cover. It is an in-depth study of creative uses of stone in custom residential architecture. Loaded with fabulous color photos--the bath, kitchen and flooring ideas just set my mind to racing. The back of the book has a nice color index of various types of stone products available--quite helpful. Lots of tips on how to choose the right product for the right application. The example of mosaics and floor designs would be a nice reference for those who do concrete acid stain or mosaics no matter what the medium. You're not gonna be happy with sheetrock once you see this book!!!!
