We love a well-kept home, both indoor and out. Making sure your kitchen, bathroom, and living room stay fresh into the winter months is tough, as each room will receive much more use and much more wear, but it’s the outside you really need to focus on.

Some of you may think we’re merely domestic specialists. Not true. We often venture outside the comfortable confines of the home to ring our gorgeous granite, glass, and mosaic to more heavily trafficked and public spaces.

Getting into the shower can draw a variety of emotions from a person. It can mean a break in slumber and an entrance into a new, busy, work-filled day. It can be relaxation after an intense workout. It can also be a time when the last thing you want to do is stay in the shower because it’s so gross. I can personally attest to finding myself feeling closer to the latter on occasion, and when a tub or shower is gross, grimy, and stained it is hard to find any enjoyment at all. Porcelain surfaces don’t always get the job done, and cheaply manufactured, textured surfaces can be hard to clean. This is why we try to bring people the best mix of easy to clean surfaces with stylish design. Kiss your soap scummy walls goodbye.

Now that summer is drawing to a rapid, sweltering, and hurricane-filled close, we thought we’d be the first to shift our design focus towards the ethereal images of autumn. Summer calls for lighter colors, more open designs, and a lighter touch – not one aimed towards coziness, but more towards free-flowing, airy fixtures and open-windowed freshness. Though as hurricane season bears down on us coastal dwellers, turning the breezy summer air into close-those-shudders wind that will knock a shingle or two off, we have to begin to plan for a gentle ascension into fall. Here are eight great tips for transforming your home into an autumn wonderland.

Autumn is upon us.

Sometimes we have to sit back and remember that when people remodel they want the finished product to reflect their own interests, their own personality. The design, or re-design, of a home is something that takes creativity and imagination. Building a kitchen or bathroom should be something that is enjoyable, something that brings the owner great joy beyond the functional benefit. This is why when we see something of creative integrity, rife with originality, we want to commend it. In this case the design is less than functional, so to speak, but eye catching regardless.
