The story
What we did.
This one came from a builder we’ve worked with for years, in the middle of a big renovation of Kim’s oceanfront home on Long Beach Island. Other trades had already tiled the lower part of the fireplace wall. For the wall above it, Kim wanted something calm and serene that wouldn’t compete with the ocean views, in as few pieces as possible.
We chose Chianca Di Ostuni, a soft cream porcelain slab with quiet veining, and covered the whole upper wall in just two pieces. That’s as close to seamless as a wall this size gets, so it reads as one solid piece of stone.
The hard part was the height. With a 14-foot ceiling, lifting and setting full-size slabs that high took careful planning and a lot of hands, and our crew got it done.
