The next best thing after the wedding of the year feel is to be hands on with the construction of our dream home – this one thing that is far from being the Barbie’s house that could be anything makeshift. This is the real thing, and the first one that my husband and I will be calling ours. I cannot get enough of the thought of our bedroom, our baby room preparations (and all the hand painting and stuff!), the receiving area’s look and feel and the kitchen that will be the heart of the home I will be tending to.

Being new in Tampa Bay after our wedding was one of the worst fears I had – I was going to be far away from my parents for the very first time. But everything has a beginning and this should be it. Overlooking the house construction will keep me busy anyway. Not everything turned out easy, especially with choosing first grade materials. Being a construction engineer myself, I am more than acquainted with international standards of construction materials. Yet this Tampa Bay granite and marble supplier paved for the first easy steps in what was expected as a grueling phase.

Excell Granite and Marble has the biggest warehouse I have visited amongst other Tampa Bay granite suppliers in the area. Best of all, they were quick to fabricate and install, and we finished with the stone finishing faster than expected. At least there is one really reliable supplier who can paint a better picture of home creation in this part of the world.
