Tile shapes offer a vast opportunity to play with patterns. Hexagons combined with star tiles form intricate designs as well as optical illusions. This pattern was inspired by ancient geometric Islamic designs. We offer three sizes of star and hexagons in all of our field tile colors.

The desire was to remove the ceiling to expose the original beams. However once accomplished, due to major irreparable staining of the beams, they were thoroughly cleaned and freshly painted white. Exposing a portion of the chimney continued the desired design statement and provides a stunning historic mantel behind the bed. The twin closets on either side of the bed were reconfigured and the hollow core doors replaced with period style board and batten to compliment the rest of the home. Bursting with ancient beauty, original pumpkin pine floor boards were refinished after being smothered by threadbare carpet for decades.

Patio kitchen plans these days require the ability to incorporate high-tech, modern appliances into timeless – even ancient-looking – environments. You can see this juxtaposition pulled off perfectly in this outdoor kitchen by Outdoor Homescapes of Houston. “A smart patio kitchen plan requires not only a balance of the new and old,” says Outdoor Homescapes owner Wayne Franks, “but a blending of new elements – like an outdoor kitchen – with the existing home and outdoor living features like a pool, hardscaping or landscaping.” In this case, explains Franks, the existing 25-by-15-foot pool had a craggy edge of moss rock boulders, plus a spa and firepit faced with a rough Scabos splitface travertine. “The overall look was rustic and naturalistic,” says Franks, “so we of course wanted the new outdoor kitchen island to match.” Hence the 14-foot-long outdoor kitchen island with a raised bar, also faced in the Scabos splitface travertine and topped with a Normandy granite countertop. The hardscaping around it is Kool Deck® textured concrete. “People used to shy away from busy textures in outside patio kitchen plans, but now they’re embracing them,” notes Franks. “They’re increasingly attracted to the beautiful imperfections and irregularities of nature – there’s more of an authenticity and character to it.” Now, for the high-tech part: A Traeger wood pellet grill. Traeger grills are becoming increasingly popular for their ability to infuse amazing, rich flavor and for their versatility (they can grill, bake, smoke, slow cook, braise and barbecue). This premier model, the Memphis Pro 304, features 562 square inches of cooking space and a three-in-one cooking system (high-temperature grill, low-and-low smoker and true-convection-oven roasting and baking). It also has an intuitive Intelligent Temperature Control (see the display panel to the left of the grill) that can be set for cooking and internal temperature. A programmable food probe tells you when the internal temperature is reached and drops the grill down to a programmed lower temperature to keep the food warm till serving. The dual-fan convection system, with reliable metal blades, circulates heat evenly for tender, juicy results. Double-walled and sealed construction of 304 stainless steel allows for optimum heat retention and consistent temperatures in all weather conditions. A direct-flame “flavorizer” insert delivers the added flavor of a seared finish. Outdoor Homescapes also added a mount sink with a custom oil-rubbed bronze faucet by Moen and the following RCS stainless steel accessories: a pull-out trash door, a countertop trash chute, dual horizontal grill utensil drawers and a swing-out storage door. “At first, you’d think all this technology and the smooth, modern stainless steel would fight with the rustic look of the rough-faced stone in outdoor patio kitchen plans,” says Franks. “But it actually provides some visual rest from all the rugged textures and busyness.” Serving a similar function is the smooth, polished Scabos travertine tile used for the pool coping and firepit ledge. “It’s a perfect environment for the client to entertain business associates,” says Franks. “He’s very happy with the old-meets-new approach, and so are we.” More patio kitchen plans can be found at Outdoor Homescapes of Houston’s website, at www.outdoorhomescapes.com

Bedroom - mid-sized eclectic dark wood floor bedroom idea in New York with beige walls and no fireplace

This bathroom by Cathers Home features two Boyd Lighting fixtures: the Steampunk Sconce and the Catacaos Ceiling fixture. The Steampunk Sconce is throw-back industrial and modern at the same time. Outfitted with a nostalgia bulb its the perfect low light for restaurants and bars. The oval "bulb" diffuser is available in clear glass or with one side metal leafed to match the finish of the base. If metal leafed, the diffuser can be turned to work as a wall washer. ADA compliant. Available in two metal finish options and three hand-applied gold or aluminum leaf options. The Catacaos is a sophisticated update on the ancient South American handcrafted technique called Filigrana in which small metal pieces are combined to create a large spiral pattern. This flushmount and its pendant cousin won the Best of Year award from Interior Design magazine. Available in light or dark colorway options. Photo by Michael Hefferon
