She is Excellent. **Comment from Laura Bolen, Sales Associate at OHM International:** > Thank you Andrew! You are one of the best here in Nashville and I love how you "pre-educate" your clients even before they get here so they are eager vs. apprehensive. You're knowledge base helps make my job easier and give your customers an easy transition from one area of interior design to another.

I recommend Laura without hesitation for all of your marble, granite and quartz needs. **★★★★★ — tbaird3, July 2014** > Laura is absolutely wonderful! I started looking for Bianco Carrera at the beginning of this year. I went to several other places here in Nashville before deciding to go with Laura/OHM. I was on the hunt for just the right "white" Bianco Carrera, which was difficult to find. Laura kept me in the loop on delivery times of their shipment of Carrera from Italy, and even called me on my cell phone when an unexpected shipment of Bianco Carrera arrived at their warehouse! She is excellent, pays strict attention to detail, and will answer every question you have with complete patience. I can't say enough great things about Laura & OHM. Will definitely return here anytime I need stone in the future. Thank you! **Comment from Laura Bolen, Sales Associate at OHM International:** > Thank you so much for this review - it is very much appreciated.

This can also be done on countertops in kitchens but the larger the area, the better.

Who knew? A: I'm not going to sit here and argue with you on Houzz, this is not what this thread is for. Anyone that wants to know what Concetto is can go to their website and see what it is for themselves or go to a distributor to see the slabs in person. www.concettous.com **Q: Countertops in kitchen** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hello, I am updating my kitchen and would like to put a leathered negresco granite on the perimeter cabinets and white and grey polished marble on the island, can I mix the leathered with the polished? Also, painting the cabinets, should they be satin or semi gloss finished? Thank you. A: It may help if you take some cabinet/paint samples with you to the warehouse and see all of your options all together so you can get a better sense of what works well as a whole "ensemble". **Q: Aurea Stone** *(in Kitchens)* Hello! Longtime lurker to this board. I stumbled across this new amazing quartz today and it must be very new because I'm not finding a lot about it. The brand only makes slabs to mimic marble and it has depth that other quartz slabs lack. Anyone have it or have any photos of it? I'm particularly interested in the Lincoln or Pandora color. A: No problems with it, just tariffs. **Q: Island** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of this island? A: That Island is fantastic! **Q: Help me figure out what kind of countertop stone this is** *(in Design Dilemma)* I saw this at a remnant yard after hours, with mostly other granite surrounding it. I'm not even sure if it's granite, but would like to know what kind of stone/the name of the color if anyone recognizes it. Thank you for any help! A: Hi, I'd like to comment if you don't mind. I have been in the stone business for 5 years and know quite a bit about soapstone. It's a very unique stone and most people that purchase it either grew up with it or have had it before. It's naturally anti-bacterial. It's primarily made of talc which is why it's a softer stone and tends to scratch. You don't seal this stone like granite or marble, you either apply food grade mineral oil or you apply a Saratoga Wax. Some people have old farm houses and won't apply anything to it allowing it to take on it's own patina over time giving that "old world" look. Now if you do oil or wax it, when you do scratch it, you can take a very fine grit sandpaper, softly sand the scratch out and reapply the oil or wax but most people just deal with it because they knew the stone was going to do that in the beginning. Now if you guys want this look but without the headaches of maintenance, there are a couple of granites that look a lot like Soapstone but no maintenance. One of them is Negresco in either a Honed or Leathered finish which is what we carry here at OHM Int'l. The other is called Virginia Mist and is a bit more expensive. I've attached a photo for those that would like to see what it looks like. Hope this all help. If you have any more questions, I'll be more than happy to help you. OHM Int'l has 9 locations going from NJ down to Orlando so if you have one near you, you're welcome to stop by and see in person. Thank you! : D **Q: Do you think we got it "right"?** *(in Before & After)* "Before & After" -- Our client wanted their old bathroom remodeled to look somewhat like what you might have found in 1926 when their house was built. Do you think we got it “right”? A: Wow! I'm shock right now! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
