Stoneyard Visit with Natalie King | Choosing Stone for a Luxury Boston Kitchen | Sleeping Dog

Join us inside a South End renovation as we explore the process of selecting timeless countertop stone for a luxury kitchen. Designer Natalie King walks through the differences between marble, quartzite, quartz, and bluestone, sharing how each material can shape the feeling, durability, and personality of a home. We also visit Cumar, just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, where Natalie meets with Carlotta to source natural stone, review slabs in person, and talk through what makes a piece of marble truly special. From full-height backsplashes to honed versus polished finishes, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how designers choose stone that feels elegant, personal, and lasting. 00:00 - Intro 00:29 - Inside Natalie's Office 06:07 - Job Site Check-In 07:07 - Cumar Site Visit 08:30 - Inside the Stoneyard 10:27 - Potential Kitchen Stone 19:11 - Stone Fabrication 22:07 - Outro Looking to learn more about Sleeping Dog Properties?
