THE KITCHEN: PART ONE -  Not just an area for meal preparation anymore.

What does your kitchen mean to you?

• Aesthetically pleasing and functional
• An organised area - storage haven

Exclusive to Caesarstone - "New colours unveiled"

In 2013, Caesarstone Australia introduced some show stopping colours... Sparking the interest of those working within the building sector and for potential clientele (who are currently in the market to renovate or build).

From a stonemason perspective (www.graniteplanet.com.au), our new favourites have been from the Supernatural range:

1. Vanilla Noir 5100 - described to be with its "rich black base and light veins", and
2. Alpine Mist 5110 - described to be with its "white cool grey background and wide white veins".

 

Caesarstone's Supernatural "...designs boast the aesthetic of natural marble while maintaining the superior stain and scratch resistant qualities of Caesarstone’s quartz surfaces": http://www.caesarstone.com.au/News/News-Announcements/News/392/Caesarstone-creates-Marble-Inspired-Vanilla-Noir-Range-Rover.aspx

Other popular colours from the Caesarstone collection are as follows:

1. 5000 London Grey

2. 4600 Organic White

3. 1141 Pure White

4. 4230 Shitake &

5. 2141 Snow.

And now, the most exciting news in 2014, is that we will be welcoming the most anticipated trend setting colours into the Ceasarstone mix; Calacatta Classic 5131 and Raw Concrete 4003 - for residential, corporate and commercial interiors!

There is definitely an abundance of colours on offer, which is successfully aimed at meeting the growing needs of a diverse and designer savvy market.

Stay tuned, further updates to come.

Chat soon,
Tam.

Street smarthandbook - "Developing our future through helping young people..."

School has started for the year 2014. The school system is set-up to educate children into adulthood and requires valuable tools for our youth to grow and follow opportunity. Recently Granite Planet featured an ad in the 'street smarthandbook' that was put together on behalf of the Victorian Police. As a family business, whose employees include many parents, this book is a great resource.

If you have any children, we recommend requesting a copy. The manual covers numerous topics from driving, banking, bullying, a healthy mind and body and even, moving out of home!

Personally, I wish I had such a resource when I was growing up. As the book really explores the questions many teenagers and young adults require answers for... or even guidance. Granite Planet, are proud to endorse and be affiliated with this publication, which will contribute to the growth and development of our society.
