Spec House 1

What a delicious home!!!

This is actually the Spec House 1 on the same golf course as Spec House 2. Sorry they are out of order, but I think this one deserves Special Attention.

Spacious gourmet kitchen has a wonderful open work area. Large island for prep or entertaining. We installed Tumbled Botticino Marble 4"x4" tile set on a 45. Using 4"x4" pewter "frames" with aged bronze "bursts" inserts add dimension. The 12" Vineyard Plate in a nickel finish adds a focal point above the stove.

A Bathroom we only DREAM of.......

This fabulous bathroom is truly a retreat. The tile colors chosen were subtle earth tones for functionality, tone and contrast to the other finishes in the room.
Though it hard to see in these pictures, the quarter-turned decos and decorative molding around the tub surround are actually cast stone roses. When paired with the sliced river rocks in the floor and decorative accent in the shower, it converts that "girly" feel into "romantically masculine."

Patterns and Textures

Multiple textures and colors

add a dramatically elegant look.

We used a combination of 4"x4" white, 6"x6" white, and 6"x6" blue tile to create this pattern. Then added the copper "liner bars" and "pillows" to finish the look.

The idea:

A picture with this pattern,on a larger scale, was presented for concept. Once the concept was accepted, we made the pattern scale-appropriate for our area. I think we achieved our goal.

Simple Elegance.

Real deal or compromise

Slate or Fake?

This client wanted the look of natural slate without the maintance. So we found a porcelain tile that mimicked the look of natural slate. (Plus it was less expensive!)

They did use a 2"x2" natural slate mosaic for the accent strip, as well as the shower floor.

Wow, what a fabulous look!!

Comfortable Contrast

Warm rich Brazilian Cherry, please meet natural Maple Stainless Steel!

An ultra modern kitchen, with its sleek slab front Maple cabinets, Black Granite countertops, Stainless Steel appliances gets a warm and inviting touch with the Brazilian Cherry floor.

Stainless Steel Modern

Stainless Steel tile backsplash for a modern touch to any kitchen.

This customer wanted a modern kitchen, without going contemporary. Stainless appliances help balance the feeling in this kitchen. The Black granite countertops have silver/grey flakes to aid the coordination, and help ground the room with the natural maple cabinets. Even though there are modern, sleek touches at every turn in this room, it is very welcoming and comfortable.
