Fireplace Tile - What kind of tile is this - natural stone, ceramic or porcelain. Also, who manufactures it. I want this tile for our fireplace - beautiful! »
What a beautiful use of materials. SpecCeramic carries so many brands, do you have any idea which tile they used on the fireplace surround? It is exactly what we have been looking for, but we can't seem to find it on the SpecCeramic website. Thank you so much. »
Flex tables. Here, the designer placed a stylish vintage kids' table in front of a fireplace. By day, it’s perfect for art projects. By night, swap the markers for hors d’oeuvres. Your guests will never know they’re cocktailing in the playroom.
They created a play space in the main living area with a kid-sized table and chairs. The table was purchased at Maison Reve, a story in Mill Valley; owner Yasmine Mcgrane had found it in Avignon, France. Triggs explains with a laugh that the arrangement of the markers in this photo is not for the purpose of staging — it's actually always set up like that. The floor is oak, and they played around to create a custom finish in a matte medium gray-brown that would complement the home's furnishings and the reclaimed wood of the ceiling beams. The fireplace facade is ceramic tiles from SpecCeramics that are rough cut for an undulating texture and are designed for an easy locking installation.
Accents like this stone fireplace surround bring organic elements indoors. Meanwhile, architectural choices like barn doors on a track add a primitive vibe; painting them white keeps things fresh.
Older children need a place of their own too. This larger table (with colorful markers as a centerpiece) fits right in with the room's decor and makes the perfect space for homework and drawing.
Having been painted white the crisp, clean look of the sliding barn door alongside the modern fireplace works well and looks great; however, IMO the vintage kids table with modern chairs doesn't have the same appeal and puts a damper in the room's flow.
