The Cool Tone Granite Kitchen

Natural Stone Source continues to import it's slab stock bundles at a time from over the ocean, and currently we are carrying such a wide variety of slabs, it's almost overwhelming! Where does one begin with such an array of colors?

A good place to start is to decide the tone of your future kitchen. Today we will focus on cool tones that includes whites, grays, and blues.

Cool toned kitchens are very much in style, and go well with stainless steel appliances, as seen below from this Houzz project posted by Judy Cook Interiors, LLC. A hot selling granite color for cool-toned kitchen is the Alaska White granite slab.

Another popular slab for cool toned kitchen is the classic and iridescent Blue Pearl granite slab. Blue Pearl is a bit darker, so it goes best with a lighter backsplash and light cabinets.

This stylish kitchen combines Blue Pearl with a light grey marble and an inventive argoyle backsplash behind the stove.

One of our very favorite slabs now carried in bulk by Natural Stone Source is the brazilian Lake Placid quarzite. Lake Placid is a calm jade green with very little movement. This stone is a little more rare than the others, so we do not have any projects showcasing it in our pictures, and the internet does not yet have a single kitchen of the Lake Placid quartzite. So we invite you to make this soothing stone into the next cool tone kitchen, and we will display it here on our blog, on facebook, and our main website, www.nssgranite.com!

Slabs From Around the World!

Here at Natural Stone Source, new bundles of slabs are starting to arrive over the seven seas. We often marvel at the places and distances these slabs have traveled from! We are so excited about these new arrivals, we decided to share some of the most intriguing.

The most common country of origin that our slabs arrive from is Brazil.

The popular opalescent Blue Pearl slab is seen and sold in many showrooms, including ours, but were you aware that is comes to our showroom from the cold northern country of Norway?

 But where does a wild slab such as Onice Verde, the sumptuous green onyx, hail from? The answer may stun you: Pakistan!

Another prismatic stone, Labradorite, which is acutally classified as a quartzite, ships across the waters from the exotic land of Madagascar. Our source for this stone likes to tell us the story of her visit to the Madagascar quarry on a donkey!

And finally, in this installation of worldly stone slabs, a favorite of many, the Baltic Brown slab immigrates to America from the distant country of... Finland!
