Floor Tile - Would you happen to remember the name of the floor tile here? I have been looking all over for slate (or porcelain that looks like slate) in that color, and I cannot find a good shade anywhere. Thank you.

It is a natural slate which has been sealed. Colorway is called Autumn Mist. Most stone yards and also tile showrooms will have it.

The door was supplied by the builder before we were involved in the project. Most building supply companies, like Deterings or McCoys Lumber, will offer similar doors and stain.

How does the slate hold up in a high traffic area? Does it chip? Does the sealing prevent the chipping? - How does the slate hold up in a high traffic area? Does it chip? Does the sealing prevent the chipping?

3. The custom-built wall unit in this mudroom in Houston includes a cubby for the cat box. Designer Peggy Hull of Creative Touch Interiors says the cabinet was built based on the size of the homeowner’s litter box.“The cabinet door was built to allow the cat to go into the ‘mouse hole’ to use the box and then come back out again,” says Hull, who adds that the opening itself allows for ventilation. She says they liked the clean look of the cabinet so decided not to put a knob on it.
