"The stones we chose were white and black, which set the tone for the house, but the house has a very comfortable feeling," said Holly Stachyra. "The walls are taupe and the woodwork is stained cherry, so there is a warm-looking feel to it, as well as a clean styling."
About 4,000 square feet of the combined stone, supplied by Stone-Tec of Garland, TX, was selected for the 5,100-square-foot, 41/2-bathroom house. Kashmir White was predominantly used for flooring and bathrooms; Volcano Black was chosen for focal points such as the entry foyer and kitchen countertops; and Galaxy Black was used for the study, wet bars and the living room fireplace.
