I know you were probably wondering where @XtrodinaryPilot was all day today.

NO NO NO,

I was out on a #photography assignment for my company 3Doppelgangers. I was doing a Google 360 Virtual Tour for The Shade Store in Houston, TX. The Shade Store is located inside of the premier Decorative Center of Houston. DCH offers, "...traditional and contemporary residential furnishings, fabrics, architectural products, flooring, wall coverings, lighting, kitchen and bath products, and accessories. With more than 550,000 square feet and 40 plus showrooms that display and sell over 1,200 manufacturers lines DCH offers interior designers, architects, facility managers, decorators, dealers, and design enthusiasts a one stop shopping experience." As much as I would love to show you the virtual tour today, I can't until my client approves it. I did however make my way over to Aria Stone Gallery which is also a client of mine and is right across the hall. It would only be fair for me to show my steemit homies how we get down.

Aria Stone Gallery

According to curator and Showroom Manager, John Schuler, Aria Stone Gallery curates a showroom of some of the most exotic stones. These slabs of are extracted from some of the world's most exclusive quarries. John made it very clear whether I wanted to buy as a homeowner or a builder that the prices on the tags are the same for everyone. Simply put, the pricing is transparent. The slabs are actually purchased in large sections in order to retain the natural flow of color and design. #Nature within itself is so beautiful and these photos will prove that...

Nature is the Best Artist

Heavy Lifting

Beauty is in the Wallet of the Beholder

as you can see, the below photos are practical applications of the exotics stones in design. The samples on the floor serve as a means to get would be customers to "think outside of the box". It doesn't take a genius to see that this type of design requires a deep wallet or purse.
