More on the beach tract project.....

The fossil stone has been added for the counter tops.  It's a gorgeous lime stone.  Yes, the client is comfortable with a soft stone on the counter top.  We'll seal it to protect the pores surface.  The Europeans use this type of stone or a marble in their kitchens all the time, the patina is gorgeous with use.  Don't be afraid of it! I've used it in two of my kitchens and plan on using it again in our current kitchen, when we are able to renovate it.
Doors have been installed on the cabinets.  The splash of slate, limestone and glass mosaic tiles bring in a touch of color of aquas, teals, turquoise and a variation of grey tones.  The Jenn Air counter top range has a self filtering down draft system.
