    Default TRAVERTINE - can competitively priced stone look good?

    1289914703844.jpg1289914659751.jpg1289914676695.jpg Although it's just a small cloakroom, by cutting the 600x400mm Travertine into decor panels - framed by chrome inlays - this job had a bit of a 'punch' and I think worked quite well.
    The client didn't want 7 years bad luck so the mirror is the only original feature in the room, from when the house was built 5 years ago - so the job was designed around it!!!!!
    You can see some of the lighter filling in the stone pieces, but including the floor there was very little waste from 45 tiles.
