Honed down bling with flare. Emerald Pearl Granite

artisticstoneincblog — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:46:14 +0000

The first time I saw honed Emerald Pearl was over several slices of pizza at the Mariott Hotel bar in Washington DC. Since then, I was wondering when we would install it in a kitchen. Finally, we found a savvy couple who happen to enjoy cooking both in lab and in the kitchen.

The counter tops show off honed Emerald Pearl from Norway. We honed the surface at our shop by removing the shine off the surface. The couple complemented this with pearly white 3″x6″ subway tiles.

Happy Cooking!!
