It could be horsehair plaster. Plaster used to be re-inforced with horsehair, but it looks more like fibreglass strands. Horsehair matched the period of the original home, whereas fibreglass doesn't. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

Hi 1991_kid, though this image may be a render, the stone tops do represent an actual material. You may like to look at the Natural Stone type called Quartzite. Quartzite comes in smaller slab sized that Granite and Man Made Quartz Reconstituted stone slabs and it is very hard (unlike marble) and comes in a variety of different colours. Quartzite stone slabs do come in various types of Grey and does come in a type that has a formation which looks similar to your image. Perhaps something like the Atlantic Stone Quartzite or the Taj Mahal Quartzite or the Grey Cristallo Extra Quartzite. Hope this is of help, Malcolm

We've got a gatic style pit lid on our exposed aggregate driveway. You can fill these pit lids with a material like exposed aggregate/concrete and sand etc. to make the pits blend a bit better with the driveway. A couple of driveway people have said that using exposed agg there just doesn't work well due to the inability to get exposed agg even and looking good on the pit lid. Other people have said it looks bad if you don't fill it with exposed agg because that would be different to the driveway. Just wondering if anyone has done this in the past and what they went with? We would've thought exposed agg for the continuity of things but now we aren't sure. Thanks in advance!

We have recently done a shaker style kitchen makeover for a client, it‘s in the album „Kitchen Renovations“ and from what i understand they are mostly solid wood for the cabinets.
