1 One long slab of marble sits on top of both credenzas, one in the dining room and one in the living room area, to protect the surface and add some glamour.
2 For the bedroom, I added marble tops to the nightstands for the same reasons. But many readers have asked where it came from.
3 The crew at Westchester Granite and Marble (marbleandgraniteworks.com) found me the exact slab of black marble.
4 Once found, the head machinist took it out for inspection.
5 It was amazing to watch.
6 Quite the feat.
7 There's the nice side.
8 First, it was polished.
9 To perfection.
10 Then I taped it out so that the marble cutter would know exactly which part of the slab to cut.
11 Bedside table top.
12 One of the credenzas.
13 I chose the areas with prefect veins and deep color.
14 Love it.
15 Here is the slab, marked up for both tables and credenzas.
Many readers have wondered about the marble that sits on top of the two hanging wall units, one in the dining room and one in the living room, as well as my two bedroom nightstands. I added slabs of black marble in order to protect the surfaces and add a touch a glamor.
In the dining and living rooms, it's all about entertaining. The marble here helps protect the furniture from stains (water, wine, champagne, etc.) In the bedroom, I tend to keep a vase of flowers and a carafe of water by my bedside.
All of the furniture is from BoConcept (boconceptus.com). The black marble is from Westchester Granite and Marble (marbleandgraniteworks.com).
