At Home Furnishings
“I went to At Home Furnishings looking for a new rug, couch, and lamps for our new house. From the time I walked in the store until the day my couch arrived at my house, the design team at At Home Furnishings far exceeded my expectations. My designer was knowledgeable about the products they had to offer, and if she didn’t know an answer to my question, she found it for me. There was no rush, as I was treated as if I was the only customer at the store throughout the process. It was a pleasurable experience, and there is truly something for everyone at At Home Furnishings. I even left with a pair of earrings and a candle as well!” — a satisfied customer.

Birmingham Marbleworks
When a customer comes into our showroom the first thing we do is get details about their project. We find out if they have something in mind, or if they would like more information on our available products so they can make an informed decision of what best suits their lifestyle. Once we decide what products will work best for the homeowner, we begin selecting colors and designs. We can advise on all color selections including paint, cabinet colors, tile selections, and design ideas. Once these items are determined, we then ask the homeowner to provide drawings of the proposed areas and begin our quoting process. After all of these decisions are finalized, and we have made templates at the jobsite, we begin laying out the stone for fabrication. We allow our clients to be involved with this process to insure they are informed and completely satisfied with their selections before they are installed. Birmingham MarbleWorks has been in business for 15 years
