Classical focus

Natural stone is an investment that is repaid many times over by its lustrous appearance and durability. However, the enormous variety of colors and grades available today can overwhelm homeowners trying to make the right choice.

All counters and backsplashes in the home are made of natural granite, specially selected by A Touch of Stone to complement the classical architectural style.

"Clients can rely on our knowledge and experience to help them choose the appropriate stone for their decor and for the application," says founder Marylene Briere. "We also cut, fabricate, and install the stone, and enhance its appearance by making sure all the veins match."

In the rooms pictured on these pages, granites were chosen for their strong visual characteristics. The kitchen features a verde jewel granite, while a bamboo yellow stone is used in the wine cellar. Accent stones in the wet bar and powder room were selected to set off the decor and furnishings.
