salvaged stone – Antique Limestone by Ancient Surfaces.

I still remember the first time I stepped into that villa, hidden away in the embrace of rolling hills. It wasn’t just the beauty of the place that took my breath away, but the stories it seemed to hold within its walls. Every stone, every tile, whispered tales of yesteryears, thanks to the artisans of Ancient Surfaces.

The moment my feet touched the villa’s flooring, a cool, gentle sensation enveloped them. Each limestone slab beneath me felt like a page from an old diary, recounting tales of sunlit Mediterranean afternoons and moonlit serenades. As the day wore on, the play of light and shadow on the floor seemed to change its narrative, making me a part of its ever-evolving story.

The living room, with its heartwarming fireplace, became our favorite gathering spot. The antique limestone mantle, with its intricate carvings and age-old marks, seemed to have been a silent witness to countless moments – from boisterous family tales to hushed late-night confessions. Every time the fire crackled, I felt as if the limestone fireplace was sharing its own stories, warming not just the room but our souls.

The bathroom, oh, what a masterpiece! It was like stepping into a regal chamber from a bygone era. The limestone cladding and the floor mosaics, an exact replica of an ancient roman floor all sang praises of the timeless beauty of limestone.
