Travertine -with kids - filled or unfilled
Comments (14)Lindy, I understand about not wanting to share photos with dust everywhere. :op The wait has been well worth it. he, he Thanks for the stone source. I forgot you were on the west coast. Our new house is in N. AL. Yes, maybe "neighbor" Allison will share her source. For the price of the suppliers stores that I was in, you'd think they'd have had the chiseled travertine. Maybe they did and didn't realize I'd be interested in it. There was so much to choose from, I think my eyes were glazed over before I even got there. Anyway, I'm glad you shared, because I definitely love that worn-edge look. It's perfect for our "worn" feel we are striving to achieve in the new house. Yah! Feel free to share photos when you get it all "prettied up". I can't wait to see more photos of your house!...See MoreTravertine for kitchen: honed & filled, tumbled...?
Comments (6)LOVE my honed and filled and sealed floors. I don't really have any scratches or etch marks but lots of dirt from shoes and drops. It sort of blends in but I do have to wash them occasionally. JUSt make sure you have the correct subfloor support for the floors or they will crack. THAT is very important esp in a redo. I will say that I could imagine the holes to get very dark compared to the lighter travertine if you went without honed. Not very pretty after a while as you could not get the dirt out and each wash would make it darker....See MoreAnyone have travertine w/ grout filled holes and color enhancer?
Comments (3)We used what Lowes/HD called tumbled marble but its surface is similar to tavertine and after grouting we used an enhancing sealer. It darkened the stone and left the grout color alone. I would recommend you try on a sample first because I was concerned also, didn't have any extra tiles and took a chance and liked the outcome. Some enhancers and grout colors could yield different results....See MoreTravertine Paver Holes
Comments (5)My folks are from Indiana but I live now in San Diego. Your decking is gorgeous! The natural look is very rustic as it exists right now. I would ask decking pros in Indiana what they would recommend, since this product is from Florida and who knows what an Indiana winter will do to it. Indiana has limestone. Found this interesting article which compares the 2 substances: http://www.travertinemart.com/travertine-tiles/what-is-the-difference-between-travertine-tiles-and-limestone...See MoreOnePlan
