The pace is picking up at our Menlo Park Idea House. Tile in the bathrooms is going up fast (stay tuned for a sneak peek later this week!). In the family room, the fireplace facade is almost finished. We used a stacked stone veneer from Eldorado Stone.  It looks fabulous and, seeing how quick and easy it went up, is a great DIY project. We left off the mantle and let the stone take center stage. We're having the mason come back and stack the vertical pieces horizontally for a more cohesive look. The sunny wall color is Benjamin Moore's Safari AF-335 from their eco-friendly Aura line.
