Coffee, Tea or Tumbled Travertine?

 

 

 

Tumbled Travertine

This photo is of a corner in my kitchen.  When we remodeled and used solid surface (Corian), of course, I knew I wanted some visual texture to keep the monochromatic coloring from screaming "boring"!.  Enter tumbled travertine.  It is much too porus as a countertop but adds a delightful old world feel with none of the hassles of maintenance. The perfect marriage of practical and pretty.

oui,oui!

I just found this in my archives.  A Top En-counter made this for the Kitchen Encounter Showroom a number of  years ago.  What is notable about it other than its charm is the blue Corian moulding on the edge.  It is an egg and dart design which is centuries old and very classic.  Another company actually made the moulding itself which was then married with the rest of the top to create something very special.
