## About

### Houzz Badges

- 500 Ideabook Saves

I am an instructional designer that married a licensed contractor. His company focuses on custom home building and remodeling in Florida. When we met however, I had no idea that my professional life would be impacted as much as my personal life.  I believe this is because he has given me the opportunity to witness the transformation of so many homes. It is amazing to watch a new design transform the entire feel of a room. After years of sharing advice with friends, family, and clients,  we knew it was time to “build a home” on the web so we can share these designs and experiences with everyone. Please visit our Home Improvement website with remodel, styling, decor and design Ideas to fix up every room in your house.

## Community Q&A

**Q: how to decorate around the tv?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Thoughts about doing ship lap from floor to ceiling just behind the fireplace and tv.

A: I just found a photo that shows both sides of the TV for you! I hope this helps. I think it would look great with stone or shiplap as well. One side has the kitchen and the other side has a bay window.  Still needed more decorating but it shows the idea!

**Q: clueless on what to do with fireplace** *(in Home Decorating)*

My house is under complete renovation. I have this wall with TV and fireplace but have no clue with how to go about designing it. It’s an open floor plan and this is the family room going into kitchen. My kitchen colors are black, gold and white.

A: Will you be keeping the tv in this space or moving it?

**Q: New Bathroom - Major Help** *(in Flooring)*

Hi all,

We are gutting a small existing bathroom and re-doing the tile because the tile is very outdated as well as has an old tub that will be replaced with a simple shower. I want to do either a black and white bathroom with gold accents or white, black and gold theme. The tile I'm using for the floor and shower is a 12x24 polished porcelain carrara. (attached) 

I really have no clue how to incorporate the accent pieces in to the bathroom. Maybe a whole wall in the shower? Or maybe a thick vertical strip going up and down in the shower? Any thoughts? These are some of the accent pieces i have in mind.

SUCK at designing and need major help. 

Thanks!

A: The gold mirrors we used here would look great with that accent tile you like! Good Luck - the finishes are gorgeous

**Q: Anyone Have any Feedback on "Happy Floor" Tiles?** *(in Bathrooms)*

So my husband is in love with a Happy Floor porcelain tile with texture--more or less the texture of a smoothed stone you'd get from the ocean--it's called "Utah" and has a matte look.  I can see where it would help prevent slipping, but has anyone used these?  Do they need to be sealed, and are they easy to clean?Utah Glacier

All comments and advice appreciated.

Laura

A: We have used Happy Floor tiles in most of our recent projects and have had great results and feedback !
