The Stayton At Museum Way

PROJECT OF THE MONTH: 

     The Stayton At Museum Way. 

The Stayton at Museum Way, is the newest resort-style retirement community in Fort Worth, Tx, This new concept of high luxury in the heart of a new urban village was carefully planned in every detail for the convenience of seniors.

Accordingly, The Stayton is designed to accommodate the lifestyle needs of active seniors who move in as independent residents, offering a range of luxurious amenities such as swimming pools, libraries, onsite eateries and bars, as well as chef-cooked meals, served in a stately dining room. 

So obviously, a first class, premier Lounge & Bar was a MUST with luxury finishes & touches. 

Designed by nationally-recognized architect David Dillard & D2 Architecture firm, Soapstone was used as one of the main focal point for this Lounge & Bar area. 

  

This inviting room has fantastic sunlight so the Black Soapstone on the fireplace & bar made a masculine and dramatic yet inviting material to use which compliments its breath taking upper views of Fort Worth's West 7th World-Class Cultural district.

The Granite Gurus: Designer's Kitchen: Soapstone Island with Carrara

We Just love working with the Interior Designers at Alice Lane. They are so fun & Talented, plus they do such beautiful work. The jobs we do with them are always some of our favorites. When Interior designer Suzanne said she was redoing her own kitchen BJ was happy to help her with the countertops. 

We got lucky and had a really pretty remnant of Soapstone in our yard that worked perfectly for the Island. For the perimeter countertops Suzanne selected the Carrara marble from our stock with a honed finish.

Soapstone + Carrara = One of my favorite combos.

She did a Mitered edge detail on the Carrara because it was 2 cm.

On the island the edge detail is a 1 1/4" Square Polish.

Check out her island, isn't it a beautiful piece?
