With a very neutral color theme, the floors feature Mexican travertine supplied by Alkusari Stone in Austin, TX. “There is a lot of taupe and gray in the stone itself, which gives a good variety of color,†said installer Darren Cameron of Baystone Tile in Horseshoe Bay, TX. “The color scheme dictated the stone we used. If the house had a darker look, we probably would have gone with a different kind of stone, but we wanted to really open up the space.â€
Mexican travertine is a very practical stone for homes like this. “We've used thousands and thousands of feet of this stuff within the last few years,†said Cameron. “Its one of the best products - it's relatively easy to maintain, it has a good texture to it and it has a wonderful look.
