Inspiration for a transitional family room remodel in Orange County

This one covered the whole house, or close to it. A kitchen and the bathrooms all done in Fantasy Brown dolomite with a leathered finish, out near Orangeburg. The photos catch it mid-install with Lowe's floor protection still down, so you can see the tops going in before the space gets dressed up. There's an island, a farmhouse apron sink, some open shelving, and undermount bowls in the baths. It's the kind of job we like, where one stone carries through the whole home and ties everything together. Fantasy Brown is a dolomite, and that matters. People see the soft browns and grays and the flowing veins and assume it's a marble, but dolomite sits a step harder and holds up better in a working kitchen. The movement in it runs long and watery, brown and taupe drifting through a lighter background. No two slabs are the same, so a big part of the job is laying out the material and deciding which piece goes where. On the island we want the veining to feel like it belongs, and across a corner we do our best to keep the flow moving instead of stopping cold at the seam. The farmhouse apron sink is where the extra work shows. That kind of sink needs the front edge of the stone cut just right, and the reveal has to be even the whole way across. The undermount bowls in the bathrooms get polished on the inside edge so there's nothing rough to catch on. We template tight, cut to the template, and set the seams where they're least likely to bother you. An eased edge keeps it simple and easy to wipe down, which fits a house that's actually lived in. Dolomite likes to be sealed and it likes to be wiped up after acidic things like lemon or wine, but treated with a little sense it wears beautifully for years. It takes heat better than a lot of people expect, though we still say use a trivet. In a kitchen and baths that get daily use, it's a stone that looks high-end without being fussy to the point of stress. Orangeburg's a bit of a drive for us, but we go where the work is, and this was a repeat customer we think a lot of. Running the same dolomite through the kitchen and the bathrooms gave the whole place one voice. That's the payoff on a job like this, one material, careful layout, and a finish that reads the same room to room.

This custom steam shower features exotic Calacatta Gold marble slabs, expertly book-matched to create a continuous vein flow across every wall. Designed and fabricated in-house by Power Marble & Granite, this project demonstrates our specialization in large-format marble and porcelain slab installations, advanced CAD planning, and precise CNC fabrication. The space includes a fully contoured custom marble bench, wrapped with seamless transitions and detailed mosaic work. Gold luxury fixtures enhance the stone’s warm tones, while recessed niches and overhead lighting emphasize the depth and movement of the marble. Every slab was laser-templated, CAD-mapped, and cut on CNC equipment to ensure flawless symmetry and alignment. Our team handled all substrate preparation, leveling, waterproofing, slab installation, and finishing—delivering a true spa-like retreat with museum-level craftsmanship.

This custom breezeway was shaped and hand bound to follow the contours of the space. The woven wool wilton that was chosen compliments the existing interior perfectly.

This Chapin kitchen centers on Blue Dunes granite, a stone that earns its name honestly. It carries soft gray and blue-gray tones that shift with the light, moving from almost silver near the window to deeper charcoal in the shadowed corners. It's the kind of granite that reads calm and cool without going cold, which makes it a natural fit for a kitchen built around a farmhouse sink and a lot of white or painted cabinetry. Granite like this comes out of the quarry with real movement in it, so templating and slab selection matter more than people think. We lay out the pattern before we ever cut, matching the veining so it doesn't feel choppy from one run of countertop to the next. Once it's templated, we fabricate the top with an eased edge, which keeps the line clean and lets the stone's natural pattern do the talking instead of a fussy profile competing with it. The farmhouse sink is the centerpiece here. Setting an apron-front sink means cutting the countertop to expose the front face of the sink cleanly, with tight, straight lines on both sides and a level reveal so it sits right against the cabinet face. That's a step you don't get a second try on. The single-hole faucet keeps the deck simple and lets the sink itself be the statement, which is exactly how a lot of homeowners want a working kitchen sink to feel. Day to day, granite like Blue Dunes holds up to everything a real kitchen throws at it. It's heat resistant enough to set a hot pan on without worry, it resists scratching under normal knife work, and with a good sealer it shrugs off water and food acids for years without staining. It's low maintenance stone that still looks like it took real craft to install, which is the whole point of choosing granite for a hardworking kitchen. Chapin kitchens tend to mix classic cabinetry with stone that has some personality, and Blue Dunes splits that difference well. It's calm enough to live with every day but has enough movement in the surface to keep it from feeling flat. Once the backsplash and surrounding finish work are done, this one's going to read as a clean, well-built kitchen anchored by a stone that was picked to last.

This kitchen in Elgin came together in engineered quartz, Calacatta Viraldi, and it's the kind of stone that does a lot of the work in a room without shouting about it. The white background stays clean and bright, and the veining moves through it in soft grays and golds. For a kitchen that gets used every day, that's the whole point. Quartz is engineered stone, ground quartz mixed with resin under pressure, so it comes out of the plant with a consistent pattern from slab to slab. That consistency matters when you're templating a kitchen. We can match the veining across a seam or carry it around a corner without hunting for the right spot on the slab, because the pattern's already built in that way. Calacatta Viraldi reads soft and bright in a kitchen, which is exactly why it gets picked for spaces where people actually cook. Getting a countertop like this in is still a craft even with a manufactured material. We template the kitchen precisely, cut the slabs to fit the cabinets and the sink cutout, and dress the edges by hand. Here we kept the edge eased, a clean, simple detail that lets the stone itself stay the focus instead of the profile. Seams get set tight and leveled so your eye reads the counter as one continuous surface, not pieced-together sections. Day to day, this is a low-maintenance surface. Quartz doesn't need sealing, since the resin already closes it off from stains, and it resists scratches and everyday acids from cooking better than a lot of other surfaces. It handles the daily bumps of a real kitchen without much fuss. Heat's the one thing to watch, a hot pan straight off the stove can shock the resin, so a trivet's a smart habit, but that's a small price for a counter that otherwise shrugs off wine, coffee, and citrus without a second thought. It's a good look for Elgin and for the kind of Midlands kitchens we build these for, bright, durable, and built to actually get used instead of just looked at.

Fixed solar screens, ordered via templates were installed in the irregular shaped panes of the ceiling of this Conservatory to give the protection from the sun but to still retain the view to the sky and the integrity of the Conservatory. This photo shows the panels in the midst of installation, where some panels have yet to be installed. The difference in glare is visible apparent.
