Tile Design Tips

When designing the interior of a home, tile choice is a crucial decision. Tile can't be changed out easily so it's best to start with a neutral back ground and add pops of color for visual interest. In this bathroom you will notice the use of a warm gray limestone on the floor mixed with other neutral colors around the room. To add a splash of color, we used an aqua colored glass that has some texture to it. This helps draw your eye to tub and shower without making it into an aqua bathroom. It helps create that spa like feel that so many clients are looking for. Using a soft color sparingly has created a bathroom that will stand the test of time and won't feel dated in a few years.

Who hasn't heard that regular trips to the dentist can prevent the spread of tooth decay? Even though sitting in that chair isn't the most enjoyable way to spend time, most of us know that a dentist has the knowledge and expertise to check all aspects of our oral health. Similarly, residential designers (architects, interior designers and others) bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to make sure all aspects of remodeling and custom home projects go as smoothly as possible.

The Ins and Outs of Recyclable Building Materials

by: Jon Nunan

A few decades ago, people looking to build or remodel might not have worried too much about sustainability. Today, on the other hand, there is increasing interest among folks looking at a construction project concerning where their materials come from and where they are liable to go in the future. Green building is a growing trend, and using recycled materials (as well as materials that can be recycled) is something that homeowners and service providers alike are becoming more aware of.

Testimonial

“Working with Scott and Richard during the complete remodel of our home was an absolute joy. Their individual strengths complemented each other beautifully, resulting in a client-oriented team dedicated to aesthetics, quality, timeliness and budget. They listened carefully to our ideas and concerns, were responsive to our requests and thought 'out of the box' when unusual issues popped up in the remodel. They are backed by a fantastic team in the back office and some of the best and most professional subcontractors in the state, which made the entire process feel seamless. It's worth highlighting that their responsiveness extended to the punch list, which is often where projects stop abruptly. We are currently pondering the idea of building a 2 bedroom guesthouse and would not consider any other architects or builders to help us realize our vision.”
