Over the past month we’ve had the opportunity to custom-fit the marble holy water font at the altar of Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral Raleigh. This high-profile project enabled us to host famous Italian stone consultant Roberto Pagliari in our studio! Roberto was commissioned to select the gorgeous stone throughout the Cathedral to bring to life architect James O’Brien’s vision.
ROCKin’teriors once again served as a training site for area design professionals in June. The National Kitchen & Bath Association Eastern Carolina Chapter held its continuing education course on marble use in kitchens at ROCKin’teriors, with instruction by our friend Rob Bacon of Daltile. With numerous training workshops held in our space in recent months, ROCKin’teriors University is now in session! We’re delighted to help our friends in architecture and interior design and encourage you to stop to see what’s happening in our workshop and design studio.
Recently Rockin’teriors participated in the “Walls of Honor” project with the Gary Sinise Foundation and The Natural Stone Institute to honor USMC Sergeant Michael Frazier and his wife Monica. We’re participating in this project to build a home for Sgt. Frazier, who was wounded overseas while helping to preserve our freedom.
RALEIGH, N.C. – ROCKin’teriors, the region’s only woman-owned stone fabricator, recently earned the coveted designation of “Accredited Natural Stone Fabricator” by the Marble Institute of America (MIA) and Building Stone Institute (BSI).

You’ve probably asked yourself the question, “why do I like natural stone?” Well, The Natural Stone Institute’s blog, UseNaturalStone.com, offers the answers! The website is a portal for educational resource and real-life stories on the impact stone has on individuals. Like this one we shared on Facebook about the healing abilities of natural stone, and more recently, how natural stone helped bring a wedding to life during a hurricane.
We’re honored to have this story of our client shared with the world. We love the beauty of Mother Nature and speaking to the opportunities and love natural stone can bring. Thanks to The Natural Stone Institute for sharing our story!
