We stopped by the new materials bbq at Fox Marble last week and visited all the new deliveries from all over the world. We saw some lovely new soft colored, sparkling marble counters that would look perfect in a bathroom, kitchen and laundry space. We also spied some crocodile stamped material that we would couldn't in good conscience recommend in any application. We like the idea of the backlit agate stone in a bar or accent installation; but were left wondering if they would end up as an over-used trend soon to be regretted.
