Tile Design - Use The Same Tile to Cut Cost

A cost effective way to get a great look and still have detail - use all the same tile in different sizes and patterns. Here we used a 10 x 10 tile in Landscape Beach floors, shower walls and tub surround. Tile on floors was put on a diagonal and a 4 inch border along wall edges. Then using the 3 x 3s along tub surround for " accent piece" which continues into the shower. This accent is then repeated a second time at shoulder height and on shower floor. Shower was then finished with a 4 inch border. This is a great idea if you may be thinking about selling your home in the near future. Using a neutral tile gives you and any future home owner a wide range of color schemes to use.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal Q&A


Q: Will removing my popcorn ceilings make a difference in how my house feels?

A: Most homeowners have a negative feeling when talking about popcorn ceilings. Popcorn ceilings can make a beautiful house feel dated and dirty. With the removal of popcorn ceilings, many homeowners feel like they have a new house. Others note that their smooth ceilings make the rooms feel higher and look larger. With the popcorn removed, you can also do other modifications like painting trim to create architectural interest. The small change of removing the popcorn ceiling will make you see your home in a totally different way.

Enhanced Living Area
" Popcorn ceilings, bland builder fixtures and boring paint throught this ranch did not fit the new homeowner's style. Husband-and wife team John and Jaimie Jones of Home Revision, LLC had the solution: The popcorn texture was cleanly removed and the room was finished off with decorator colors, a new ceiling fan and textured carpet, all in tones of gold-wheat neutrals that transformed the space from bleak to inviting."

Traditional Bathroom

This classic bathroom has all the finishing touches. Natural stone accents are inset in a brick pattern layout on walls for shower and tub surround. Along with bronze metals helps bring this timeless look together. We added a little "jewlery" over the bath tub with a beautiful little chandelier.
