Artisan Group’s Stone Collection Featured on DiY Network’s Run My Renovation
Posted by: | CommentsIf you’ve been checking out the DiY Network, you have probably come across Run My Renovation. In the show, homeowners give up all control over a renovation as every choice is made by online voters. While it sounds risky, the lucky homeowners in the episode “Rekindling the Kitchen Love,” struck it rich with surfaces from the Artisan Group. These high quality stone countertops are available at Construction Resources, and were chosen by a landslide of online votes for the most important part of the kitchen.
In fact, over sixty percent of the voters chose Artisan Group’s Golden Crystal stone counter surface for the episode’s kitchen renovation. The episode explores a complete renovation, with the homeowners involved in every way, from hands-on demolishing their own kitchen to applying the paint Read More→
There’s certainly a happy customer in Philadelphia, who is enjoying a Saratoga Soapstone counter surface in his “MLB mancave” courtesy of DIY network House Crashers. The show turned the home’s plain jane family room into a shrine to everything baseball. You can see a great overview of the show above, and it is still airing as part of the show’s fifth season. If you prefer not to watch on air, the episode will be available for purchase on iTunes soon.
The renovation started by destroying the family room. The crew demolished a brick wall to make room for the many improvements, which spanned into the outdoors. The man cave began with a wet bar of Artisan Group Mineral Black Saratoga Soapstone with eight taps, fueled by a refrigerated set of kegs situated in the basement. The basement is accessible from a specially crafted elevator dubbed the “kegavator,” to ferry kegs and people to keep the eight taps running for thirsty Phanatics. A custom made bar top of signed baseballs in resin forms the bar on the opposite side of the taps with Philadelphia Phillies bar stools. Couches form a secondary viewing area with jerseys and huge photo posters of Citizens Bank Park.
Outside in a redone patio area is the primary viewing area with a huge HDTV screen, authentic stadium seats, state-of-the-art grill, and landscaping Read More→

Think about all of the important moments that happen at your conference table. When you have a new client or vendor come in to your office, what impression does your conference table leave: power and importance, or neglect?
Construction Resources can provide you with a conference table that makes a statement. Do you need an elegant table, with clean lines and lasting design? You may want to consider marble, like the table in the photograph. This table was installed at KPMG’s SunTrust Plaza office and is made of Calcutta Borghini marble.
Do you want your conference table to make a louder statement? Consider a bold color of Cambria quartz, like the red used in the entry of Museum of Design Atlanta. Read More→
Atlanta Kitchen Lights Up Atlanta with Corian
Posted by: | Comments
Atlanta Kitchen recently contributed to beautifying Atlanta in well-trafficked areas. In conjunction with C.H. Briggs, Atlanta Kitchen fabricated and installed art made of DuPont Corian in a local MARTA station. The project was done as a part of “Light Up Atlanta Installation.”
The artwork, the Seed Bench at Peachtree Center, was designed by Kellen Minor.
“Corian is often thought of as simply a countertop surface,” said Mitch Hires, co-owner of Construction Resources. “The Light Up Atlanta installations show the true versatility of Corian as well as the talent of the Atlanta design community.” Read More→
Construction Resources Helps Rehab 160-Year-Old Newnan Home
Posted by: | Comments
For the last 160 years or so, the Moss Home has stood resolute in historical Newnan, Ga. What this home has seen in its time far surpasses the things humans get to see in a normal lifespan. This home stood through the a civil war, the turn of two centuries, the Great Depression, two world wars, rock and roll’s birth, decades of crazy hair and even the dawn of our own digital age.
The home has passed through a variety of hands in its lifetime as well. Originally located in the country, it was picked up and moved closer into historical Newnan. Passing from one owner to the next over the course of many years, it was even owned by the Newnan-Coweta Historical Society. Read More→
Delicatus Granite Beautiful Inside and Outside the Home
Posted by: | Comments
One of the latest trends to sweep the granite market is the use of Delicatus granite in homes and kitchens. What makes Delicatus such a great material to incorporate in kitchens and outdoor cooking areas is the fact that it comes in white but is accented by a large variety of shades and colors ranging from gold, peach and caramel to black tones.
Delicatus granite is commonly used in kitchens as countertops and backsplashes. With summer beginning to heat up, designers have been seen using Delicatus granite outside for outdoor cooking and grilling areas. And with Father’s Day coming up soon, this might be the perfect present to get the family together outside and get Dad grilling out on summer nights!
In addition to the wide selection of colors that Delicatus granite shows, every slab is individually unique and colors tend to vary across multiple slabs of the same stone. Due to this incredible natural variety in its selection, it is especially important that homeowners, remodelers and builders themselves pick out the exact slabs of granite that will be used in the project!

Construction Resources Helps Add Style to Museum of Design Atlanta
Posted by: | Comments
The Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) recently moved into a new home on Peachtree Street across from the High Museum of Art, a strategic step-up from its hiding place downtown.
The space is striking, with red hues taking the lead. The countertops in the photograph were fabricated and installed by Construction Resources. Do you want this look in your own space? The tops featured in the photo are Cambria quartz in Cardigan Red and White Hall.
Why choose a quartz surface over a granite? Quartz is natural, doesn’t emit VOCs since it doesn’t require sealing and its nonporous, making it acceptable for use in commercial food preparation areas. Cambria quartz is manufactured in the United States, not China like many other products. Using a proprietary blend of pigment and resin, Cambria produces colors and textures that mimic other surfaces such as granite and marble, making it a very versatile choice. Read More→
