Floor Tile

There are many options for your floor; wood, vinyl, tile.  Once you make a decision on what type of flooring, you have to make more decisions of color, style, etc.  

The entire process can be overwhelming.  Choosing what type of floor is important and you want to make sure you "Get It Right".

Tile flooring seems to have endless possibilities on size, color, texture, style.  In the last few years, ceramic tile that resembles wood has been very popular.  You have the wood "look" with the durability of tile.  The early versions seemed to be a more of a painted on wood grain.  As always, new technology prevails and some of today's wood line ceramic tile is beautiful, realistic with the durability of tile.  Olympia Tile has a line Charmwood.  This tile comes in 6" x 36" lengths and has a rustic look to it.  When you see it, you almost have to feel it to confirm that is it in fact Tile.   

Some do not like tile because it is cold.  An easy fix is to have a custom underfloor heating mat (prices do vary depending on room layout, but should not break the bank).  Any tile store can price out and it is an easy installation for a tile installer or the experienced homeowner.

This is just one example of many for floor tile.  Visit a tile store in your area and be prepared to be overwhelmed but enjoy the journey of updating your home.

Bathroom Remodel

EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SMALLER BATHROOM, WE WERE ABLE TO PUT SOME NICE FEATURES IN IT. 

OLYMPIA TILE - 12" X 12" MILLE RICHE IN BROWN WAS INSTALLED ON THE FLOORS

THE VANITY IS MERILLAT MASTERPIECE CABINETRY - GALLINA STYLE IN MAPLE WITH MUSHROOM AND COCOA GLAZE FINISH. WE ADDED FEET TO THE BOTTOM TO GIVE IT THE LOOK OF A PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE COUNTER IS CAMBRIA QUARTZ - COLOR BLACKWOOD. USING A SQUARE SINK FROM KOHLER COMPLETES THE LOOK.

IN THE SHOWER, WE USUALLY PUT IN NICHES.  THEY BREAK-UP THE WALL AND ARE CONVENIENT FOR THE HOMEOWNER.

THE WALL TILE IS OLYMPIA TROPICAL GRASS TILE IN 12" X 24" AND 6" X 24" PIECES - COLOR TAUPE. THE SHOWER FLOOR IS ISLAND STONE PEBBLE SERIES.

DELTA LAHARA SERIES SHOWER FIXTURES INSTALLED. 

THE HOMEOWNER HAD A CHANDELIER LIGHT FIXTURE, BUT THE CEILING HEIGHT WAS TOO LOW. WE CUT A OPENING TO RAISE PART OF THE CEILING AND RE-DRYWALLED THE AREA.  CHANGED THE OLD WINDOW TO A PELLA AWNING STYLE WINDOW WITH OBSCURED GLASS.
