I am excited to have Munir Turunc as our guest today.

Munir is the CEO of Marble Systems which was started in 1982.

Marble systems brings the finest natural stone to the design & architectural community specializing in high-end residential, commercial and hospitality projects.

Munir has led Marble Systems for nearly 40 years, transforming it into one of the most respected and design-forward names in the natural stone industry.

Most recently, the company was recognized by Hospitality + Design with the “Best Flooring” award — a testament to its craftsmanship and innovation in luxury design.

Here are some of the questions I asked Munir:

• How did he get started in the natural stone business

We all love a clean home but I don't know anyone who has the time to spend hours cleaning.

The trick is to design your home with easy maintenance in mind, unless of course you love to clean. Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica, joins me in the topic of high design vs low maintenance.

We will give you ideas on what to substitute for the following high maintenance items:

• Crystal and ornate chandeliers
• High maintenance furniture
• Open shelving
• Cabinets not going to the ceiling
• Complex tile patterns
• Difficult to clean plumbing fixtures
• Porous countertop materials
• High gloss cabinetry
• Gas stoves
• Porous, rough-surfaced tiles
