Expert stone masons Derek Stearns and Dean Marsico revitalize a lackluster tile kitchen floor with a heavy dose of thin — 1/2-inch thick — multicolored flagstone. The beautiful quartzite flagstone comes with a mesh backing, which makes it as easy to install as tile. It may not be the first thing to think of for kitchen floors, but with a remarkably simple installation process and the benefits of natural stone, this irregular shaped flagging makes for a stunning — and affordable — kitchen upgrade.
