What could possibly add more beauty to your home than a gorgeous new countertops? Try houseplants! Lush houseplants bring the outdoors inside and instantly improve and relax the environment, and they’re especially striking in homes that employ lots of other natural materials. Of course, plants can stain or warp many surfaces, especially wood. Luckily, there is a beautiful, all-natural surface that’s impervious to the wear and tear of household plants: natural stone! Granite, quartz, and marble can all withstand the damage that comes with houseplants, allowing you to total freedom to bring the flowers and greenery indoors!

Romantic Gestures

Nothing can brighten up a room (or someone’s day) quite like a beautiful bouquet. The smell will fill the room, the colors will pop, and every time that special someone sees their blossoms they’ll smile. But if you’re sick of ringed watermarks on your wooden surface from the vase, or wish you could easily brush away the fallen petals or leaves, try putting your flowers on stone!

Nothing beats an herb garden right inside your kitchen! You can spice up any meal with ease, not to mention that the wonderful aromas that will fill the room.
