We built a bed frame with integrated nightstands, headboard and TV lift. Stephen was an exciting designer to work with, not only because ideas but also how well planned and thoroughly thought out his ideas were from the beginning. Stephen had a good understanding of the process, which is something that I wish I can say about more interior designers. I have no doubt that Stephen will be a big name in the design community. ## Selected projects - [Newburyport](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newburyport-pj-vj~7430273) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: School house conversation to townhome.

What would be more suitable for master bath : granite or marble counter tops? Someone mentioned that marble is too absorbing and not for bathroom. Thanks. A: Hi, thanks for your question! There’s no right or wrong answer to your question, it’s all a matter of preference. And I am not a stone expert to speak to how granite vs. marble will last over time. I have heard that marble is more porous, which can lead to staining. But if it’s sealed properly, and you don’t leave messes sitting on the counters for long periods of time, it should last for years to come! Marble is a very common material used in bathrooms for countertops and tile, and I’ve personally never had an issue. Consult your stone slab professional for specifics and care instructions. Best, Stephen **Q: The spirit of the Houzz community is sharing ideas and information.** *(in Photo Questions)* The designer is not interested in sharing information regarding products used, etc. Specifically, they are not answering questions regarding the vanity. I find that contrary to the spirit of the Houzz community. They should be banned from posting photos if they are simply looking to advertise services. A: Thank you for showing interest in our work!
