This client had experienced water damage and had to replace the carpeting and most of the sheet rock 2 feet up from the carpet in the master bed room as well as the bath room. They decided that they would, at the same time, do away with their older travertine that was placed as a surround on the master bed room firebox as well as add a decorative surround in the master tub area. Currently there was nothing there.

We used a Limestone that is called Rivera Beige that is quarried out of central Mexico. It was designed to pick up some of the intricate wood designs in their bed room furniture including the spiral wood cuts. These were used for the corbels in the master fireplace and the keystone design on the tub fireplace was from the dresser. The general contractor repaired the walls well enough so that we could attach the stone after he removed the travertine tiles. The gas key was relocated and the built in niches were closed over with more sheet rock giving us more lateral clearances for the large fireplace.
