Natural Stone Flooring – The Beauty of Mother Nature

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

No two stones are alike – that’s the beauty of natural stone!  When using natural stone on your floors or walls, it’s important to remember it is a product of nature and comes from deep within the earth.  It has been through years and years of metamorphosis thereby resulting in varying patterns, hues, and veining. 

That’s the inherent aesthetic appeal of using natural stone in and around your home.  Natural stone has moved from a predominately outdoor application to almost any interior application – floors, tub surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, etc.

If you’re building a new home or redesigning your current home, take a look at natural stone.  Whether you choose marble, granite, travertine, or any other natural stone, you will be bringing the timeless beauty of Mother Nature into your surroundings.

Lighting Solutions for Your Bathroom

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Spending time in front of your bathroom mirror is a daily task for most everyone, whether for shaving or applying make up. So how do you provide adequate light that also has style?

A common trend these days is to choose a stylish light fixture that can be placed above the mirror in your vanity area. When making your choice, it’s important to choose a fixture that is the appropriate size for the mirror. Generally providing 100 watts per 18 inches of mirror width will do the trick and give you efficient amounts of light for your grooming tasks.

Another great idea for an exceptional comfort level in the bathroom is to install a dimmer on the vanity light. A dimming control will allow for bright light when you need it and will provide the option for softer lighting the majority of the time.

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Remodeling your home can be less stressful by taking a few preliminary steps. Here are just a few examples of ways you can increase the value of your home.

  1. Make a plan. By sorting and prioritizing projects that need to be done and projects you want to do, you can save a lot of time and money.
  1. If you are looking to sell your home, generally, you want to start with the kitchen and bathroom areas since they are high traffic areas or areas in constant use.
  1. After you have established your plan and budget, consider the materials and style you want to use. Contemporary or a simplistic style rather than fads with neutral colors is the best way to invite buyers to make a solid offer.
