WOW! Take a pic of a piece for us to see the color!
Kim
The color is 'Boulevard Light' .. almost 'marbleish'. We wanted a very light color that will stay relatively cooler in the AZ heat. Here's a piece for color comparison

Thanks for the tip. I will go through the pallets and their labels.
Looks to be an awesome setup! Almost exactly what I am looking to build at our new house in Gilbert. I sent you a PM with specific questions since we are in the same neighborhood. Looking forward to more updates!
Your travertine is going to be exquisite!!! What a beautiful color - you're right - more like a marble. Gorgeous. Tell the paver guys to please, please hurry! Suz wants to see it. Ha ha!
It's quite slow going. They haven't yet started near the pool..but have put down the travertine in other areas - this is in a courtyard. Here's a sample. There are some variations to the almost marble texture, but it looks nice overall.
Oh, that IS exquisite!!! I want the variation, otherwise, it would look very flat. The variations give it depth and interest! Absolutely beautiful!!
It's slow going here, too, with the travertine. Watching them makes it easy to understand why. All the slope engineering, etc is amazing. These guys really have to know their trade. Of course, I'll know for sure how well they've done after our first big gully washer!
Keep the pictures coming - they're wonderful!

Travertine work last couple of days... and the 'wall' is being built.
Pink Floyd will be proud!

I noticed last night on Patrick's West Texas build you mentioned wanting some sort of screen for your pergola. I'm not sure what you had in mind, but here is a picture of one I liked for my 'someday' pergola.

Thanks, Suz! I did see them before and they run around $22 / sqft. But we are putting a fan under. So I will need something in the top.
Thinking of rolling out a "window" screen mesh on top.

Ouch! Do you sew at all? It looks like a a pretty straight forward curtain installation. I wanted Roman blinds for a couple of traverse windows in my house. When I priced them, I decided it was time to learn how to make Roman Blinds. I don't ever want to make roman blinds again, but I saved hundreds of dollars.
I almost forgot to say the Travertine looks amazing. This was the last straw for me, I am going to have to look into using Travertine in New England, and color options. It is so pretty!
Looked into travertine. Even though the select is rated for freeze/thaw climates, every quality stone installer strongly suggested I select something else.
In colder climates, you can use travertine with no problems. In fact, the roman colosseum is built using it . Only issue with freeze/thaw cycles is to prevent moisture from getting into the stone with effective sealing. With good sealing, travertine will not have problems in cold areas.

Travertine on the deck + pergola areas are next. The 'wall' is waiting for the glass tile and stuck stone crew.
The travertine is really nice! Seems to glow in the strong AZ sun!
Another view..

Getting closer! Are they as white as they look? That is going to be pretty when it is done!

Wow, that's looking so good! The travertine is beautiful, and you know I can't wait to see the glass tile!!!
Tell them to hurry please!
Suz.

Yes, most of them are like marble white. Some have a variation and a few are dark.
This seems to give it a "depth".. Have to see how they turn up in the end after everything is done.
We are putting in approx 1400 sqft of travertine.

The glass tile goes in on Monday.
. BTW, I am following your build and it is spectacular! Those lightstream glass tiles are mind boggling!
