Beautiful Backsplash!

The world of buying Carrara Marble has changed a lot. Carrara Marble from Tuscany Italy 'C' Grade. Is Carrara Marble from Tuscany Italy 'C' Grade. It is a commodity, like Gas. You would not go to a Gas Station and Pay $40.00 a Gallon when you could buy it for $3.00 a Gallon across the street.

For decades the way Carrara has been imported has been one of the most inefficient processes at the expense of the consumer.

We have changed that explaining in more detail how here. Prices valid thru 2016 (but these were also the same prices in 2015)


1x2" Brick Italian Carrara for $10.95 a Square Foot available in Polished and Honed. The Builder Depot stocks over 3 million square feet of Bianco Carrara in the USA. The largest importer of Carrara mosaics in the US and the only Google Trusted Store to sell it.

Buying marble does offer significant saving but it is not for everyone. We have created a guide of Houzz.com to try and help navigate this new world of buying Italian Marble online. More Info.

Exposed beam ceiling - Please tell me about the ceiling in the kitchen. Did you simply open up/remove the old plaster and paint the exposed beams? I'm considering the same application in my historic farmhouse - we have half the ceiling exposed. How did you tackle the light fixtures?

Houzz at a GlanceWho lives here: Ellen Allen and her dogs, Mr. Peabody and ClementineLocation: Woodbury, ConnecticutSize: 3,000 square feet (279 square meters), 4 bedrooms, 2½ bathroomsYear built: 1745The original house was built in 1745 by the Judsons, a prominent local family. That part of the house is now the kitchen, and above it sits the master bedroom. “There are several houses that belonged to the Judson family in my town,” Allen says. “It was a dairy farm in the 19th century. My friend Phil Roosevelt researched the house for me as a present. He found that it was owned by a farmer, who also kept a ship in Stamford, Connecticut. However, Mr. Judson ended his days as a lighthouse keeper — which I find intriguing and mysterious.” The built-in cabinet to the left of the sink holds turkey and pheasant plates that were Allen’s grandmother’s prized possessions. “My mother gave them to me when I bought the house. The blue and white willow ware was my mother’s also, as well as the silly Elizabeth II coronation teacup and saucer. I don’t like to be completely serious, and I have little visual jokes throughout the house,” Allen says.
