Greener Pastures...

Oh Green ... How I love thee
In honor of Saint Patricks Day why not celebrate the color green in
 all its saturations. Green in some tones is now considered a new
 neutral all though many of the scenes below are a lime or citron which touch
 on the brighter side of color.
How fabulous is this bedroom space. Dividing the sleep area from the
work area using lrhe printed curtains. Using the floor to ceiling window as
almost a piece of artwork. And that great pea green accented
with unexpected deep orange accessories.
How incredibly sheik are these floating vanitys in espresso
with lime green sculpted glass tops? What a striking an
complimentary combination.
Green bubble tile. Need I say more? Contemporary, fun, colorful,
a perfect accent to these medium maple slab door cabinets
with modern brushed nickel hardware.
Slate blue and Citron have such a harmonious feel in the boudoir.
This bedroom is breezy, cozy, and contemporary.
Give me a sage green kitchen and I will love you forever. This kitchen
 with all its green molding and trim pieces is a work of art. An eclectic
cottage style kitchen with all the fixings of a masterpiece.

Kitchen Reno: Traditional w/ a Twist

Modern Meets Classic....
The glass and marble mini mosaic really ties together
all the color elements that the main tile, accent
 tile, granite, and cabinets bring to the table. The sleek
stainless hood is a moderntouch to help tie our
two contrasting styles together.
Roping details and cherry stain add to the traditional roots
 of this kitchen as well as add warmth. Copper accents play
up the cherry tones through out the space.
The Garden Window is a great element in this kitchen,
bringing in natural light and personality. The pendant light
above the sink is an unexpected detail that again ties
 into the copper and cherry colors present in the space.

Make A Splash!...

                            Looking to Amp up the cool factor in your kitchen, had a
little color or shine with a glass backsplash. The large lime glass tile used below
echo the lemon paint color and modern cabinet door style. Adding
a fun and young look to this already contemporary kitchen.
 The Light and Clean kitchen below has both traditional and
contemporary details that compliment one another. The stone
backsplash here is an assortmant of random horizontal marble tiles. The
 stainless steel shelving plays off the horizontal theme and helps make
the space look wider and more open.
The last backsplash is done using recycled multi colored glass.
 Recycled glass is usually less expensive then other thicker glass
 tile because of its imperfections. The warm tones in this glass mosaic help tie
 the cabinets and countertop together making this a cohesive ensemble.
One of my favorite places to find great tile is none other than
 my alma matter The Tile Shop. They have great displays and
 sales people that can help you create a tile masterpiece.
