jnkfirst Can you please comment on the fireplace surround stone? Who is the manufacturer? Thanks!

Garret Cord Werner This is a custom cut travertine stone, hand selected for this project. If you are interested in a similar design for your home or project, we would be more than happy to do that for you. Please contact our office directly if you would like to move forward on that.

Eutree Wide Plank Flooring It could also be Maple T&G paneling/flooring. Most walls like that will have a T&G between the planks. joel@eutree.com

Buechel Stone Corp Fond du Lac ledgestone might be an option? What do you think?

tallbritster Real stone doesn't carry the real thin stack in any of the good colors anymore. Discontinued gray, bluish gray, greenish gray and charcoal. They do have shadowstone but each stone face is thicker and bulkier looking.

magarita this room looks dull. put artificial plants or whatever you like on both walls ( side by side) the fireplace. maybe you like to change the sofa or the carpet >> colours . unfortunately , i can't upload this pic. and bring it to my drawing board and post the new looks of this area to you for free of charge. you ever went to room's hotel? they are small space but the arrangement are awesome. just put one basket of artifical flowers and artificial fruits on the small table there. how? another thing, please discard the aluminium bottle(bottle?) to somewhere else.

i suggest you change the spotlight with something like this...pls see the attachment.

ksho "this room looks dull"?!!! A little presumptuous of you to speak for the majority of us who find this room rather nice (and to tell the designer how to 'fix' it).

FYI, "artificial flowers and/or fruit" are tacky and would cheapen this chic, modern space (since we're giving advice without being asked).

nicjmurray Chandani & all - I'm interested to know what kind of stone you used for your project? I've been tirelessly searching for something like the stone in this pic or similar to the Sinatra house in Palm Springs. I'd be VERY grateful for any advice!

Chandani Hi- I didn't want a lot of texture but did want the linear effect. I searched in my area of a vein cut limestone/travertine that in a cool light tone without a yellow tone. This turned out to be more difficult than I had anticipated and I wanted to keep the project on schedule, so I found a hone limestone with onyx. See image 1 for what I went with (I've changed the rug) and am quite happy with the decision. I think the material in the pics above might be angel stone. Here is something to get you started:

Susan Mills Design You can have upholstered pieces that resemble linen, in all shades and colours, that are stainproof, fadeproof and can be washed and or bleached if needed. As a mom of four as well as numerous pets over the years, from dogs to baby ducks (long story!) I know what can happen to a sofa, these fabrics handle it all.

Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. Consider Nanotex or Sunbrella fabrics for upholstered pieces. Leather is a great option for dining chairs in the kitchen. Install hardwood floors or travertine for flooring. Use wool rugs for softening these areas.
Create areas either built in or moveable for kids to put their toys away. I am not of the opinion that kids should be able to take over rooms with their toys, I think there should be a holding place so things can be put away. I have three kids and a lab. I have two giant drawers underneath a built in bench for them to put toys away. If they have more things than can fit in the drawers, then its time to give the excess away. Consider a no shoes policy in the house to keep furniture and rugs clean.
Keep club soda in your pantry, it's great for cleaning up spills.
Hope that helps. Charmean Neithart

aZura Stoneworks I can not say exactly what stone is on the fireplace, but it has the feel of Azurastone's Grigio Vanadeco.

jnkfirst I too am hoping to find out the fireplace surround tile. Thanks!!
