These clients had recently moved to Texas and really needed to remodel a few spaces in the home - the kitchen was number 1 priority! Wanting a clean and modern update, while keeping the room warm and inviting, we think we hit the mark. Cabinets are from Ultracraft. The perimeter is their Metropolis Door in Melamine - Silver Elm vertical grain. The island we contrasted with the Acrilux II Lux door in Pure White (gloss). Cabinet hardware from from Atlas Homewares, the IT pull in brushed nickel. Counters we were able to pull two different materials together. The perimeter counter material was Pure White from Caesarstone - very simple. Brought in some pattern with Quartzmaster Calcutta Borghini on the backsplash, and on the island. The mitered waterfall edge gives it an extra "oomph" that we just love. For fixtures, we kept things fairly simple. A Blanco super single bowl sink, and California Faucets Corsano Pull down at the island. We paired with a matching soap dispenser and air switch. The appliances were also important, so we took some time mixing and matching what was needed and what worked well within the budget. From Wolf we have a gas cooktop, Double oven and Microwave. We opted for a Best Vent Hood and blower, Electrolux Refrigerator ad Bosch Dishwasher to round out the selections.

After. With the walls gone, the remodeled space looks completely different and provides better functionality for the family’s lifestyle. It also complements, not competes with, the beautiful high ceilings in the space. This view of the island gives a good look at the “Rift” pulls in “Matte Black” from Amerock.

By removing a wall and peninsula we opened up this adorable white kitchen and had the space to put an island that seats 4. The island is a soft gray color with the linen white perimeter all topped with Caesaerstone Calacatta Nuvo. The wood floating shelves balance the windows and appear less bulky than wall cabinets. The rustic barn wood flooring and school house lights add character to the kitchen.

For the master bathroom, Grigio Cielo Large Herringbone was used on the floor which creates beautiful movement and directs the eye to the gorgeous free-standing tub. The natural veining in the marble compliments the soft grey tones used throughout the space. The 48×96 Marvel XL Calacatta Extra Polished was selected for two walls of the enclosed shower in this master bathroom. These large format porcelain tiles have limited grout joints and are perfect for creating a seamless look. To create an accent, 12×24 Marvel Calacatta Extra Polished was used in a classic stacked look and brought onto the ceiling to complete the enclosure. With the incredible look of real marble and the resilience and hard-wearing nature of porcelain, Marvel is the perfect alternative to marble. To compliment the bathroom floor, the Grigio Cielo 1” Hexagon was chosen for the shower floor. Photography by Megan Lawrence

With its artsy design & contemporary finishes, this kitchen defines ‘non-traditional’. Working with this family of 4 was a delight as free reign was given; as long as it was functional modern and ‘cool’. The custom walnut door with horizontal grain offers a refined detail, and the ‘Burnt Ember’ island colour by Benjamin Moore ties in the Caesarstone Piatra Gray countertops. The large mitered island is the core of the kitchen, and Caesarstone’s gorgeous Calacatta Nuvo design wisps effortlessly across and down each waterfall end. With few uppers, efficiency is important. From Super Susans and spice pullouts, to peg board drawer liners and utensil dividers, everything has its place so that each family member can help out easily. The 60” Miele fridge, steam oven and matching dishwashers with applied panels, are all built-in for a fully integrated look. A slight extension on the sink wall offers extra working space, and creates a perfect homework zone for the kids. Lighting is difficult without upper cabinets, so the 2” floating shelf which emerges from the stacked lift-up cabinets has a recessed LED puck to light up the sink area. This kitchen’s fresh materials & bold design choices perfectly complement the client’s lifestyle.

Achieve a Royalty Look with Calacatta Gold Tiles We all have that dream home we want to have. Better yet, some of us dream of a fantastic renovation of our homes; transforms them into glossy nests we can always be glad to perch in. For those of us who are already on the way to the dream house, you probably are shopping for material to use. So how about we introduce you to the good old Calacatta Gold marble? If you are asking what that is, we can say it’s a unique way of inspiring royalty to your home using tiles. Calacatta Gold is a special stone tile mined in the hearts of Italy, on the Appian Mountains. Ever since it was discovered, it has been heavily used as a floor tile as well as wall tile, creating remarkable artistic visuals with a touch of natural gold in it. Calacatta gold tile also has one unique trait you won’t notice in most tiles; you can easily mix it with other slab colors, specifically gold extra, Calacatta Borghini, Crema and Super Extra. Calacatta gold is also one of the few tiles with a unique pencil vein detail centering the white hue background and grey veins on the tile as well. This is the perfect choice for artistic walls and floors but be sure to use the right slab colors if you want to bring in more colors; if the slab and tile don’t match in color tones then it may affect the overall look of your walls/floors. There are plenty of places in the house you can experiment with the pristine Calacatta gold tile. How about the living room wall that is a background for your TV and home theater system? Calacatta wall tile will create a covetable golden hue that will always shine before you. Moreover, you will definitely fall in love with your walls in the morning, when a streak of sunlight illuminates the golden yellows. Installing the beautiful Calacatta gold tile is a pretty easy job as well. However you just need to be careful to use white thinset instead of grey. White thinsets will absorb the trowel lines whereas grey may leave behind ugly marks which may taint the exquisite nature of the tiles. If you also want your Calacatta floor tile or wall tile to last longer make sure it is properly sealed with grout. You still have that dream home in mind? We already have you covered on the best tiles to you use. Just think Calacatta gold tile all the way, all your friends will definitely take selfies beside your shiny golden walls. http://AllMarbleTiles.com
