So today I honor my good friend, white marble in all its glory and all the magnificent ways it graces our homes. Used in countless bathrooms, kitchens and throughout other areas of the home, white marble is the ultimate in luxury, beauty and understated elegance. Some of the skeptics say it is not practical....personally I do not agree, in Europe its used everywhere!
I lived with it for almost 8 years in my old kitchen and can say that with the exception of a few things that you have to be aware of (not putting lemon or red wine directly on it) and using common sense as you would with any surface, it proved to be very practical, durable and more than anything so beautiful. Every time I walked into my kitchen, it gave me such an incredible feeling.....I never tired to being in my kitchen and the white marble played a big part in that. Sealing marble is key and it is recommended you do this once a year, which I was pretty vigilant about. So here is the white marble parade......and if this doesn't make you a white marble convert, I would venture to say nothing will... I personally am and a big one at that! Let me know if you have a favorite..........
This is what I would call a "statement floor"...its the Coco Chanel suite..of course!

Hello Dear Tina!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post in every single way! Every image chosen was taking my breath away! I'm also obsessed with "white" marbles. Obsessed!
This post didn't help much with my obsessions, actually! It made me love it even more! :-)
Have a great day, sweetie!

Wow this is sensation overload! I love white marble and this comes at a good time becuase we just decided to give our 12 year old kitchen a makeover and I really would like to go with white marble. These pictures are a m a z i n g!
ReplyDeleteI cant believe how much eye candy there is in one post. Excellent post and really helping me visualize.
I absolutely adore white and gray marble. I have it in my kitchen in one home and I'm redoing the master bath in our Hamptons home with white marble. It is timeless, chic and always lends itself to a sophisticated space. Also, that laundry "room" half way down the page is off the charts!
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures as always, but I am afraid I still find it hard to like marble. Maybe it's because I am from Europe, because, as you say, it is mostly everywhere here and more often that not it has not been taken care of. I guess this is why marble always make me think of dirty hotelrooms that have seen better days and forgotten stairwells...
ReplyDeleteI do agree that is is beautiful though... it's just that it gives me bad associations.
I'm obsessed with white marble in kitchens and baths. My favorite for the kitchen is a white honed carrara marble...so warm and classic!! Gorgeous inspiration to start my day, Tina
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I sent several photos to my files for future reference. You are the best....
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh, what a way to start a day! Marblelicous!
ReplyDeleteMy response to your question:"What do you think about the mix of porcelain and marble?" I don't like it. I think it looks like they ran out of marble or money. I think a herringbone pattern made out of marble subways would have been better, in my opinion.
You and I are on the same page once again. I love white marble, we have it all over our house. I especially love the subtle colors and markings in a beautiful slab of Calcutta Gold!
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy Wednesday!
Jeanne
I was thinking about calcutta gold marble throughout house on floors in LR/DR/Family Room...... Is that too much???? You say you have it all over - can you send pictures of floors?
DeleteSuch a remarkable selection there really weren't any rooms or uses I wouldn't love looking at everyday. The immense slab in the bathroom is very effective, and the black dots also stands out. An amazing collection Tina, very (very!) appealing.
ReplyDeleteMay you enjoy a stellar Wednesday,
tp
Amazing interiors, marble baths and kitchens are always elegant. The key is to take care of it so it keeps that wondrous sheen.
ReplyDeleteWOuld you mind if I copied a few of these images for my personal files?
Good Wednesday to you,
Mimi
Oh yes im obsessed with marble it soooo beautiful and it is very practical :))) I have it my bathroom and next time I will built a kichen I should have it there as well,
ReplyDeleteLovely inspiration, love tria giovan-because the door out to the garden :)) have a lovely day /Marie
What a fabulous round up!!! I also love white marble - I had honed carrera - a beautiful not too gray variety) in my old kitchen as well - just adored it. I also love that "sink loving" shot - one of my favorites. And just wanted to point out the in #7 Tria Giovan is actually the photographer - she is wonderful and I am doing a photo shoot with her tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?! I can't get enough of gorgeous marble! I have it in my kitchen and love it so much. I don't think I'd use any other surface for countertops ever again!
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with white marble in ALL it's glory and stunning appearances in kitchen's and bathrooms. So Tina you're not alone. Seeing all these beautiful images, my pulse rate increases, and I can visualize myself being in all of these spaces anytime on any day.
Love it in herringbone, checked, mosaic, inlay, subway tiles, basketweave, solid, and mixed with shades of white, off white, creamy beige, alabaster, dove gray, deep gray, gunmetal gray, and walnut browns, ebony and of course black.
Marble transforms a space as well as a space softens marble despite it's solid feel it has a masculine and feminine side. I love it and it affects me emotionally
in beautiful design. I'm so excited that your using it in your new home and I love
the floor choice for your son's bathroom.
Marble is, for me, is exciting in a home and in hotels, it's classy, and jaw dropping, chic, and timeless in seduction. I agree that common sense care makes it's allure that much stronger. I wish I could wear it...LOL!

I'll be looking at it for three bathrooms and kitchen counters also when it's the time for our renovation.
Ravenna. Ravenna. Ravenna. What do "they" suggest . . . when you say a word three times, it becomes yours. I know "they" mean the word, but I sure do have the wants for that wall you pictured above! Marble is just a classic, timeless material, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous post! I adore marble and have used it my master bath and my kitchen.When I remodeled Brambly's kitchen I had the picture of the kitchen designed by Tria Giovan in my ideabook. I used honed white carerra marble on the countertops and a combination of white marble and black granite on the floor.I've loved the look of black & white floors since I was a young girl, so I know I will never tire of it.Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteAnn-Marie
Beautiful photos. Everything looks so crisp and clean and fresh and creamy!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your give away announcement in a few days! Fingers crossed here!
STUNNING SOPHISTICATED PLACES! Keep up the great work, and positives vibes. (-:
ReplyDeleteCheers!
You have given me some great ideas! I love the marble against black. I love the chevron floor, the mantles, and the bathtub especially!
ReplyDeleteJust a gorgeous post!
Have a great evening, Tina.

xoxo
Teresa....you beat me to it!! This was such a great post! I'm totally in love with every picture! I hate my house now and HAVE to re-build!!! It's not fair to put up so many glorious pics for those of us that truly love good, true design!! Of course I'm being a wee bit dramatic! I love my home and I do want to change some things....these are wonderful ideas!!! Each bathroom, each kitchen, each floor, the tub, the mantle, the glorious marble in each picture was truly breathtaking!!! It made my night as I'm walking out the door to my son's basketball banquet!! Now I know what I can be thinking on as I listen to the coaches go on...and on...and on!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...great post today! Loved it!
These are gorgeous photos. Love the Calcutta,carrera and especially the Marmara in that bathroom. I have used two of them in bathrooms but I am definitely hitting artistic tile for the marmara next.. I saved most of the photos for my files THANKS
ReplyDeleteI love white marble. I used it on all bathroom countertops and part of the kitchen. I let everyone scare me out of putting it on my island. I have not had any staining and I absolutely love it. My regrets....not putting it on the island and not using 3cm
ReplyDeleteAngela
Wow! You went all out on this post. I LOVED looking all of these beautiful pictures. White marble is so beautiful to me. I hope it will stick around for a while.
ReplyDeleteLOVE white marble. And your images are lovely as always!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap this post has everything! I gonna have to come back and study each pic, so much inspiration here!!
ReplyDeleteI love the mosaic marble floors in the bathrooms they're fabulous. We're using marble in our master bath when we renovate. I was afraid of marble for our kitchen so went another direction. Shame too since it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the clean white marble - also, I'm a sucker for the black & white marble floors...timeless. I like a touch of marble - countertops, a floor, not so sure I like it top to bottom everywhere. Marble in the laundry room...hmm...Remains of The Day. House next to mine - an old mansion, has marble in the butlers pantry, fireplaces, molding in entryway, all bathrooms - old marble. I don't think the new (very young) owners appreciate what they have!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful marble bathrooms! The epitome of luxury. Love this post. I feel like I've been to a spa.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Those tubs look stunning! Have a gorgeous day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI don't care for the striped marble or the use of marble with porcelain. Love the herringbone pattern though (for marble or wood floors). All other images are breathtaking & I'll visit this post again and again! Btw, the Amy Howard bathroom is even more beautiful than pictured!
ReplyDeleteOne of the primary reasons why granite top is one of the most popular choices for a kitchen countertops is its durability. The stone itself has a very hard and durable composition
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I have been looking at Marble Countertops for my kitchen and am debating on which type I should get.
ReplyDeleteReally, this one is very nice and excellent information of the professional printing service. This one is very excellent and classic printing service. This one printing service growth the business.

The marble about ultimate information watch for really wonderful. Here through many concern news gather from here! I have like it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and important information. It is really beneficial for us. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely. We are thinking of marble in the foyer hallway and powder room. There are no pets and it is not a high traffic area.We are looking for something that is low maintenance and beautiful. We have wood everywhere else.Is there a type of marble that you would recommend, one over the other? Thank you
ReplyDeleteit is "calacatta" marble, not calcutta people! Calcutta is a city in India. Calacatta is a region in Italy where the marble comes from. As is Carrara.
ReplyDeleteExquisite work! Bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are pulling out our wood floors that are everywhere on the first floor and re-doing the kitchen and entire first floor (including fireplace) in marble. Thank You for sharing these inspirational pictures....Trumps wood floors any day! We are empty-nesters with no pets.
ReplyDeleteThis house screams luxury. This is almost castle-like. White is said to be a boring color, but the way you designed your home, it doesn’t have even just a speck of boredom at all. Just be careful with those. It is very susceptible to dirt. Marble tiles won't go out of trend. In fact, it even adds value to your home!
ReplyDeleteAlana Geikie
White marbles can really make any house look extravagant. Even a small house would look luxurious with this design option. What is good about marbles is they blend well with various furniture styles. Also, marbles come in many colors. But if you want a style that won’t fade easily, choose white!
ReplyDeletehi there well , i have been in the granite worktops game for a about 10 yrs now , i have made a decision
ReplyDeletemarble bathroom are so stylish and sexy , on a buying trip in Asia once i discovered a material that is so beautiful Vietnam white it is the whitest marble i have seen , and has a crystal type structure
i want to redevelop my website www.granite4less.co.uk so we will now include marble for bathrooms
thanks for the great inspiration
Steve
Marble tiles are also my favorite simply because this type creates a very clean-looking space, pretty much like the effect achieved by these pictures. There is a certain sense of elegance and orderliness created by the use of marble tiles. What I love the most among these photos is the marble bathroom at Hotel Le Meurice in Paris. I’ve been there once, and I was simply amazed with how they were able to make beautiful use of marble tiles.
ReplyDeleteWow, this house design in this blog is such a perfection. It looks amazing, marble completes all the remodeling.
ReplyDeleteI can see in the images, you are truely obessed with the white marble but i want to mention that your choice is really good. White marbles look great in every corner of the house, it makes your home like heaven.Thanks for sharing these wonderful images with us.

ReplyDeleteTo the person above - I am from Europe and marble makes me think of timeless and beautiful architecture, not 'cheap hotel rooms'! Granite, on the other hand, makes me think of cemeteries. Dead stone, dead places. My husband needed persuading when we discussed marble for our kitchen. He now says we will always have it, despite the etches and the chips. (Used to have hard wood. Never again!)
