The Pebbles Collection from Caesarstone

Earlier this year, Caesarstone (the inventor of quartz surfacing celebrating its 35th anniversary this year in 2022!), unveiled their new nature inspired Pebbles Collection that features five designs celebrating the never-ending transformation of wind and water over stone.


Their press release says, "The new Pebbles Collection embodies the bigger essence of small stones. A palette of warm, dynamic monochromes is laced with softer hues and enriched by distinctive textures that are inspired by the everlasting path of the pebble, bringing the blessings of sunlight and rain into the heart of the home."

1001 Riverlet: A gentle off-white touched by honied amber capillaries that flow softly across the surface, with Honed finish for a tinge of freshness that reflects more light in the kitchen. Available in honed finish.


1002 Wyndigo: Warm earthy gradients wash over a soft greige surface veined with foamy greys, capturing a pebble’s two-toned mottled patina. Available in honed finish.


1003 Raindream: Two layers of slate greys are accentuated by soft dark grey strokes contoured in neutral highlights with a finish that makes the surface look like a wet river stone. Available in polished finish.


1004 Stoneburst: Two shades of sage grey with soft mineral undertones and subtle grey veining that complements this calm complexion. Available in honed finish.


1006 Agger Grey: A rich two-toned base of warm smoky greys with delicate clay undertones and white veins that create a two-toned surface. Available in honed and polished finish.


These look to be perfect choices for many different types of kitchens.

Happy designing!

A Princess Bathroom by Fiorito Interior Design

When a large family renovated a home nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz mountains, all bathrooms received dazzling upgrades, but none more so than this sweet and beautiful bathroom for their nine year-old daughter who is crazy for every Disney heroine or Princess.

We laid down a herringbone floor of sparkly white Thassos marble edged with an exquisite mother of pearl mosaic. Every space can use something shiny and the mirrored vanity, gleaming and curvaceous chrome fixtures, and glittering crystal light fixtures bring a sense of glamour. And light lavender walls are a gorgeous contrast to a Thassos and intricate mother of pearl floral mosaic on the shower wall. This is one lucky little Princess!
