To ensure that the stairs ended (or began!) at just the right point at the edge of the patio, Archadeck of Central CT began building the stairs at the bottom and worked our way up. This is a reversal of the usual process, and it worked out just right. The new stairs meet the patio at a place called the "soldier course," which is the contrasting rim of brick around the patio edge. We installed Fortress LED lighting on the stair risers for safety after dark. Photos courtesy Archadeck of Central CT.

This 1980’s condo on the East Bank, was ready for some updates to personalize their master bedroom/bath. Inspired by a recent trip to Asia, the clients were eager for a solid shower floor. After much searching, Azul blue Brazilian granite was selected with a custom Schluter drain system. To complement the gray and blue tones, gray travertine was selected for the floors and walls with a blue recycled glass accent. To carry the modern custom look onto the vanity wall, two stacked floating vanities were designed. The Azul granite was installed, modern faucet and basin, as well as the blue glass tile to the ceilings. Custom lighting finishes off the space. The homeowners couldn’t be happier and are thoroughly enjoying their custom master bath. Photography: Lisa Brunnel

Feng shui tip: Your feelings of comfort with your home or office space can be affected by two major factors: 1.) Your gut feeling towards that space. 2.) Your effort into that space. You can start out with a place of good feng shui and then put further effort into it. You can also start out with just a positive feeling towards a place and make it into a warm, fuzzy feng shui-filled abode. The order doesn't matter. But you must have both good feelings and active effort to make a place as powerful as you hope it to be. The personal effort that goes into a space's safety, comfort, and beauty will be rewarded. So go ahead and pat yourself on the back for buying those little bamboo reeds.

The distinguishing trait of the I Naturali series is soil. A substance which on the one hand recalls all things primordial and on the other the possibility of being plied. As a result, the slab made from the ceramic lends unique value to the settings it clads.
