A homeowner came into ROCKin’teriors, located in Raleigh, NC, to discuss a residential remodeling project of an 8,627 - square - foot home in Cary, NC. While they and ROCKin’teriors’ owner, Laura Grandlienard, were discussing the homeowner’s options, as part of the design process, the owner fell in love with the conference table, which has a thickness of 6 cm. “At the same time, we had just brought in another 5-cm honed Calacatta [marble] for another project,” said Grandlienard. “The owner of the new 5-cm honed Calacatta provided this client with a testimonial, stating that she had no regrets for having a special order submitted for their family home. Customer referrals like this really drive our business, as does recognition as a top-quality stone service provider in the area.”
The 8,627-square-foot home was built in 1997, and the homeowner decided to have the entire kitchen frame gutted so that ROCKin’teriors could give the space a much more open concept, with unique countertop and cabinet designs. The kitchen features two seamless 10-foot-long double islands. “This project is unique in that it was a special order straight from Italy’s Calacatta marble quarry,” said Grandlienard. “We offered the client the option to go to Italy, but being a busy family, they chose to select the block based on our recommendations and from the quarry’s pictures.”
