While styles and product choices may come and go, one aspect of residential design that remains constant is that kitchen and bath spaces rank high among homeowners. Meticulous thought and planning are taken to design just the right space that satisfies both functional needs and aesthetic appeal. And many homeowners are favoring stone and tile to create the kitchen and bath design of their dreams.

It is safe to say that the kitchen is the star of a home. Typically the central location of a residence, the kitchen has evolved into much more than a room for preparing meals. It has become a gathering space of sorts — a place for everything from cooking and entertaining to children doing their homework. As a result, large center islands and top-quality stone and tile products have become popular choices among homeowners.
