> I’m so glad I found Ava James Design. Kristie is professional & passionate, and so much fun to work with. Design is difficult for me, and Kristie made it easy. She listened to what I needed & added her own ideas, which I never would have thought of. I will definitely be contacting Kristie & Ava James Design for all of my design needs.

  - Description: Farmhouse guest bedroom. Milk glass lamps, white quilt, old refinished cabinet with glass doors, refinished 60-70's side tables, metal framed bed. Love the way the shiplap highlights the black accents. The floral wallpaper solidifies the farmhouse vibe in this cozy and functional guest room. The guest bath in this project was a simple black and white design with beveled subway tile and ceramic patterned tile on the floor. Bringing the tile up the wall and to the ceiling in the shower adds depth…

## Community Q&A

**Q: name of floor tile?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Would like to know name of floor tile and also where you found this cabinet with sink? Looking forward a 36 inch just like this one

A: Hi there!  Tile is from Houzz - Art Porcelain Floor/Wall Tile, White, 9.75". It was purchased in 2019 so I'm not sure if is still available.  The vanity is from pottery barn. Please let me know if I can source anything for you or if you have any further questions! - Kristie
