This stately European style home stands proudly amongst beautiful landscaping and grand architectural details. When arriving, you are greeted by a grand entrance featuring wrought iron doors and a stone cladded archway. The creamy stucco siding is perfectly balanced by the depth and texture of natural stone.

Cooking Things up with Natural Thin Stone from New England

Colonial New England is no stranger to the use of stone in design and construction, including in kitchens. Choosing a natural stone veneer that is native to these grounds for your kitchen design just makes sense. The timeless atmosphere it creates is sure to stir up creativity in design, as well as cooking.

All of our New England Stone Veneer consists of both quarried and weathered natural stones. These stones have been hand picked and cut into a material that is thin enough to be installed on any interior surface, yet durable enough to stand up to even the harshest New England weather.

    Below are just a few of the many different ways you can incorporate stone into your kitchen remodel or new construction design. To view even more great inspirational photos for your kitchen design and more, visit the Stoneyard.com searchable photo gallery.

Belmont Country Club Combines Brick & Natural Stone from Stoneyard.com on Vimeo.

What a great combination. More and more we are seeing different types of building materials used together in design. The Belmont Country Club utilized brick, stone, wood, and metal in a way that is both modern and sophisticated. To balance the color palate, white brick was used instead of the traditional red. This is picked up by the subtle white striping present in the natural stone columns, foundation, entrance, and siding facade details. Staying with this theme, a blue/gray color was used for the trim to complement the primary tones in the stone. Metal accents and deep wooden doors and ceiling panels complete the design.

The natural stone veneer chosen for the Belmont Country Club was Greenwich Gray Ledgestone Thin Veneer. This material is 100% real stone that has been cut thin for ease of installation. This light, yet durable stone adds texture and depth to any commercial or residential construction project. The use of authentic stone in any space provides a solid foundation to build a beautiful and well rounded design.

Using the natural stone Boston Blend Round

When designing your new home, there are many aspects of construction and design to consider. Consistency in design throughout the project is one of them. This beautiful home has some great architectural details that really make it unique. Copper accents were used above the porch and garage. A walk out second story balcony is the perfect evening retreat. Large granite steps were used at 3 different entrance points. Lastly, the quintessential New England stone, Boston Blend Round, was used throughout the project as siding, chimney stone, columns, and archways.

This New England style design was echoed throughout the interior including a grand fireplace in the living room. The neutral tones of tan, gray, brown, and white are carried through the color scheme of the room. Pops of red and green in accent pieces give you added color without overpowering the space.
