Saratoga Soapstone on This Old House this Week
Posted by: | Comments
A shot from the set of Saratoga Soapstone being installed at the newest This Old House Project!
This week, you can catch part eight of This Old House’s Barrington Beach House remodeling project. The team is turning a forlorn beach house into a wonderful family home with Saratoga Soapstone kitchen countertops. In addition, the master bath tub deck is Venetian Gold granite, another Artisan Group surface we carry.
Part eight will also include a retractable awning, the crew’s light fixture selections and how an electric floor warming system works and is installed. The This Old House website has all the rest of the project to this point, so you can see the home’s full transformation from eyesore to gorgeous beach home.
It’s an inspiring story, and the Artisan surfaces both stand out and complete the home’s kitchen and master bath. Read More→
