  1. My dad who's an architect is a great fan of French architecture. In fact, in his major home improvement project he was able to use French
    Limestone in the living room. Moreover, with its muted color pallet of rusts, creams, tans and grays, and its smooth, yet rustic finish, French limestone can work in a number of settings.
