Why Engineered Stone Might Be The Countertop For You

engineered stone island created by Normandy Designer Stephanie BryantEngineered stone countertops, which are man-made countertops composed of crushed stone held together by a resin, are becoming more and more popular among homeowners.  The reason for their popularity?  In addition to their extremely low maintenance appeal, the ability to mimic natural stone has been making leaps and bounds.  It’s truly a great option for those who love the look of natural stone, but aren’t fans of the regular maintenance required, such as sealing it.

Using Pops Of Color In Bathrooms To Make A Statement

“Bathroom lighting is becoming more of a concern than it has in the past, so we went with two pendant lights hung at different heights to go with the contemporary style of the bathroom,” says Ann.  “We also incorporated recessed lighting in key points throughout the bathroom.”
