The restoration of an 1899 Queen Anne design, with columns and double gallery added ca. 1910 to update the house in the Colonial Revival style with sweeping front and side porches up and downstairs, and a new carriage house apartment. All the rooms and ceilings are wallpapered, original oak trim is stained, restoration of original light fixtures and replacement of missing ones, short, sheer curtains and roller shades at the windows. The project included a small kitchen addition and master bath, and the attic was converted to a guest bedroom and bath.

Can you tell me the brand and type of tile on this kitchen floor? Or...where I can find it online? »

Volz & Associates, Inc. I'll cut-n-paste our answer from previous similar questions:

We specialize in historic preservation. Every project is unique, and always has unusual features that require custom craftsmen to reproduce and rehabilitate original materials. We cannot answer questions like this because our work is so removed from mainstream interior design and new construction. However, we are grateful you appreciate our work; we post these projects to inspire, and thank you for that.

sikuvitall Globus Cork Flooring has ready-cut cork with this pattern in scrumptious colors. It's in my kitchen, and is much warmer and more forgiving than tile.

Volz & Associates, Inc. We are sorry, but we're not able to answer construction related questions in this forum; it is considered a liability in our firm so we will always recommend that you hire and consult with a professional.

Counter Top - What is the name of the black counter top? It absolutely beautiful »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Volz & Associates, Inc. The countertop is soapstone, which is indeed gorgeous; however, make sure to do your homework before selecting it. It is a soft material and can scratch easily. It gradually darkens as it ages, and is oiled (using only mineral oil) to help it develop an even-looking patina. It is not porous like other stones such as granite or marble, it is impermeable so actually sealing the stone is not required.

triker93 wasn't able to find it a rejuvenation - do you happen to have a item number for it?
13 months ago ·
Volz & Associates, Inc. Sorry, we don't have the item number but they were on sale at the time and have probably been discontinued. They are similar to Restoration Hardware's "Clemson Classic Pendant," but the ones we used had holophane globes: http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1509158&categoryId=cat1701013

Rachel Hortman What are the dimensions of the tiles? 6x6?
5 weeks ago ·
Volz & Associates, Inc. They're handmade, in Europe where they use the metric system: the squares are 106mm x 106mm and the triangles are 104mm x 73mm x 73mm.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Geometric design has definitely enjoyed a revival. The rich colors and design of the flooring here would not have been out of place in the art deco age.
This floor is an Escher-like pattern of diamonds and squares that become 3-D boxes. It has the traditional feel of Middle Eastern design in a wholly modern setting.
