Diane Collins – Design ConsultantPersonal Style: Traditional with a pinch of spice Everyday Necessity: My Starbucks Coffee Holiday Traditions: Shopping in the city followed by dinner at Harry Caray’s (yum) Current Crush: Via Lattea Honed Granite! Have you seen these slabs? The contrast between the rich black and white veining makes these slabs stunning. Who says kitchens have to be white on white? Make a bold statement with a dark countertop or backsplash. Nothing screams drama better than that. Remember you can always balance the dark countertops with light flooring or cabinetry. |
Monika Tomaszkiewicz – Design ConsultantPersonal Style: Chic & Modern Everyday Necessity: My daily Target visits Holiday Traditions: Spending time with my family during the holidays while enjoying the 12 traditional Polish dishes! Of Course, followed by midnight mass and Christmas carols. Current Crush: Currently I am loving the vibrant colors found in Michelangelo Quartzite! It’s the perfect stone to use if you want to add pizzazz to any space. Mother Nature created some rare treats! Making the stone the focal point can influence the overall tone of any space. |

Both a neutral and a statement, it’s the perfect complement to any space. |

Emily Van Tassel – Architectural Sales RepPersonal Style: I love classic clean look Everyday Necessity: Usually coffee, but lately green tea Holiday Traditions: Every year we bake Christmas cookies, it takes 3 days to complete, 8 different recipes passed down from generations. It’s by far my favorite time of year, spending time with family creating memories! Current Crush: Lincoln Gold Vein, I love the delicate veining of this marble, and yet it feels a little more modern day compared to the Italian marbles we all know and love. And it happens to be quarried in the US! The Calacatta family may have a new competitor, Lincoln Gold Vein is stunning! We love the gentle gold and gray veins found in this milky white marble.
