This custom mural wrapped around a good portion of the kitchen and we managed to fit it in all the nooks and crannies! Love the contrast between the granite countertops and the dark wood cabinets.

The light from South Arch side window is focused upon the North wall where there is a large granite fossil. A smaller version of these swimming creatures appears above. Next to these is a cave-like opening where a thyme plant meanders down the rock wall. Other interesting artifacts are included in the design. Photo credits: Dan Drobnick

Thassos White Marble Waterjet Mosaic and Floor Tiles Thassos white marble has become prominent in modern interior revamping. It’s unique on the surface and pleasing to the eye in whichever area it carpets. Thasos also has quite a number of advantages to it which make it the ideal option when installing or replacing floor tiles in your home or office. Its white hue gives it a contemporary look which is fits in any kind of floor renovation arrangement. For quite some time now Thassos white marble waterjet mosaic tile has been used to accentuate other tile colors, especially the Carrara range, or can also be used as the main tile which then gets tweaks from glass mosaics or vinyl. The white color may also vary with some tiles have a creamy white look while others will have a snowy white surface. What is consistent in all Thassos stone tiles is the spotless look when shipped from their origin, Thassos Island in Greece. With technology advancing, today we can add a little bit of texture on Thassos marble or just give it a bit of polishing to give it a smooth look. The polishing style can be honed or thoroughly polished; when honed the stone surface gets mild polishing so it doesn’t reflect light on any floor it is used. On the other hand, heavily polished Thassos white marble has a slick shimmery look which makes it perfect for areas you want light illuminated. This makes the stone marble perfect for bathroom floor tiles where a bit of water accentuates the shine. Being in the range of natural stone, Thassos white marble also comes with the same advantages we find in all stone tiles. The surface is non porous which means water cannot seep through no matter how much splashing is made on the floor. Stone tiles are quite tough in nature as well which makes them. Marble is resistant to corrosive material like harsh chemical cleaners, bleaches or acidic drinks like Soda. This makes them ideal for use as kitchen floor tiles or industrial flooring. So the next time you are thinking of remodeling, Thassos white marble can be the best decision you make. Yes the tile is not expensive comparing to others; in fact the entire range of stone marble doesn’t come cheap. But if we look on the brighter side, Thassos floor tiles is a onetime investment that will last for years. Moreover, Thassos marble is exquisite and it brings up the value of any houses it is used in; even an old looking shack! http://AllMarbletiles.com
