Other than diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, granite is the hardest natural stone. Granite is the preferred stone for exterior or interior as it is known for its strength and resistance to the elements.

This small bathroom was updated to provide better functionality - more storage, ease of access with roll-out drawers, safety and comfort features such as grab bar, thermostatic valve for shower/bath, comfort height toilet, night lighting, timer ventilation fan, non-slip flooring. Repetition of mosaic marble/glass backsplash on tub face and wall behind toilet and vanity adds interest to otherwise neutral fixed elements of marble floor and white quartz countertop, and bevilled white large format subway tile in tub/shower enclosure. Patterned floral wallpaper on single wall adds impact.
