The island is also sized and positioned
so that friends and family can watch Anthony
cook — with seating for five at the island
itself and room to mingle at the perime-
ter. The kitchen flows into the new family
room, which is anchored by a fireplace and
sofa, “so the girls could hang out right here,”
says Watson. Materials and surface finishes
create that Old World-meets-modern look
that Anthony and Patricia, both from large
Italian families, prefer. Appliances are
stainless steel, island and countertops are
travertine marble, cabinetry is gray-stained
maple, the floor is stained oak.

Cumar's Basaltina column and floor
tiles were chosen by Patrick Planeta
and Meredith Basque of Planeta-Basque Design and by Architect Kelly
Monnahan as part of a minimalist
palette to create this extraordinary
master bath.
To emphasize the rooms round shape,
Cumar custom produced the hollow
stone column to synchronize with the
concentric circles that radiate from
the tub.
Discerning homeowners and design
professionals have always respected
the time-honored family tradition of
European stone craftsmanship which
thrives at Cumar.
