M Squared Design - Architecture Koa

Annie Thornton When choosing to use a stone fireplace surround, you actually are left with a number of material options. You really need to think about the look that you are going for, the amount of money that you want to spend, and how durable you hope the stone to be, in order to make your decision.

For a more rustic look, consider fieldstone or river rocks. Sturdy, and also a more affordable option.

For a more traditional, or modern, look, granite, limestone, and marble all work well. I would consider their durability and price, to be reflective on how they are treated as kitchen countertop material options.
