In case your missed it, 2Stone’s coffee table was shown in the Calgary Herald a few Saturdays ago. It was one of the tables from our “Board and Block” collection seen here. Aly Velji has a new column in the Herald in which he will show case the things he loves each week, a big thanks to Aly for the mention.

2Stone’s work was shown in the Calgary Herald’s “Inside- The Art of Indoor Living” Magazine last week. The magazine was delivered along with the Calgary Herald to homes everywhere.
2Stone was lucky enough to have a good friend and fan notice our trademark signature and tip us off. On Page 40 of the 2012 Spring Edition you will find a photo of our sink as well as a close up of our signature.
Although we were not directly named in the article, and I quote “A main-floor bathroom has the personal stamp on the Porters and the Calgary concrete artists who created the sink…”, we here at 2stone still think its worth a post on our site and a pat on the back. A big thanks to Alison for letting us know, we are so pleased to hear that our 2Stone signature has become so recognizable out there!

Ever wondered what we do when were not playing with concrete. Well Carly (me, writing in the third person) plays with a different type of mud….clay. Check out her website at www.CarlySlade.com to see some of the wacky art that adds to 2Stone’s signature look.

We’ve been at it for about a month now, using every spare minute to work on the renovation of our NEW SHOWROOM!
For those of you who have been to our studio, I’m sure that the old vinyl yellow wallpaper didn’t instill much confidence in our design advice. Thankfully the wallpaper has been replaced by fresh white walls, the old flood tiles pulled up, the drop ceiling is gone, and what was once 2 tiny rooms is now one large-ish open space.
BEFORE
IT BEGAN…
All that was left of the wall was a missing strip in the floor tiles
Justin painting out the ceiling, I think it took 4 coats in the end?!
Starting to drywall over the ugly yellow vinyl and cinderblock
Lise setting up her temporary office space
We are now hard at work furnishing the space with our own designs. These include a curtain wall, chalk board surround, design table, and custom desk, as well as display areas for our new line of furniture.

“THE WALL!” as we have been calling her at the shop, was installed a few weeks ago at a house in the Marda Loop area. This was such a fun and stimulating project for 2Stone. Just goes to show you, concrete is the solution to every design challenge. I hope to swing by the house again before the snow flies to take some final photos and will post them ASAP.
The Before: A handsome house with a disappointing front deck supporting wall
The Plan
Install in action
