Thassos White Marble Waterjet Mosaic and Floor Tiles Thassos white marble has become prominent in modern interior revamping. It’s unique on the surface and pleasing to the eye in whichever area it carpets. Thasos also has quite a number of advantages to it which make it the ideal option when installing or replacing floor tiles in your home or office. Its white hue gives it a contemporary look which is fits in any kind of floor renovation arrangement. For quite some time now Thassos white marble waterjet mosaic tile has been used to accentuate other tile colors, especially the Carrara range, or can also be used as the main tile which then gets tweaks from glass mosaics or vinyl. The white color may also vary with some tiles have a creamy white look while others will have a snowy white surface. What is consistent in all Thassos stone tiles is the spotless look when shipped from their origin, Thassos Island in Greece. With technology advancing, today we can add a little bit of texture on Thassos marble or just give it a bit of polishing to give it a smooth look. The polishing style can be honed or thoroughly polished; when honed the stone surface gets mild polishing so it doesn’t reflect light on any floor it is used. On the other hand, heavily polished Thassos white marble has a slick shimmery look which makes it perfect for areas you want light illuminated. This makes the stone marble perfect for bathroom floor tiles where a bit of water accentuates the shine. Being in the range of natural stone, Thassos white marble also comes with the same advantages we find in all stone tiles. The surface is non porous which means water cannot seep through no matter how much splashing is made on the floor. Stone tiles are quite tough in nature as well which makes them. Marble is resistant to corrosive material like harsh chemical cleaners, bleaches or acidic drinks like Soda. This makes them ideal for use as kitchen floor tiles or industrial flooring. So the next time you are thinking of remodeling, Thassos white marble can be the best decision you make. Yes the tile is not expensive comparing to others; in fact the entire range of stone marble doesn’t come cheap. But if we look on the brighter side, Thassos floor tiles is a onetime investment that will last for years. Moreover, Thassos marble is exquisite and it brings up the value of any houses it is used in; even an old looking shack! http://AllMarbletiles.com

Family room - rustic open concept dark wood floor family room idea in Houston with a standard fireplace and a stone fireplace

  Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This client was referred to us from a past client. They are a busy 2-career household with young children and enjoy entertaining friends and family in their home. They have a beautiful open concept home but unfortunately the kitchen was not fitting for the rest of the home. They were not quite sure what to do with the space. We talked about trying to refresh it or do more of a minor remodel, but in the end they decided a full gut would get them to where they wanted to be. One problem was there was no place for guests to hang out other than the large and awkward banquette area. The brick wall and tiled hood area were feeling a bit dated and tired. The space was just not functional for their lifestyle. There was no prep space near the cooktop and no landing area for items coming out of the ovens or refrigerator, plus a big dead zone in the center of the room. Banquettes, like the one they previously had in the space, are great for small spaces, but when they get really large like this one, it makes getting in and out of the seating area awkward and uncomfortable. Plus, there was room for a large table, so we eliminated the awkward built in. We started by removing the faux brick wall between the kitchen and back entry. We relocated the entry to the garage over a couple feet in order to get every last inch out of the new kitchen. We also made the decision to close up the primary window that faced the pretty ho hum brick wall of the neighbor’s house. There was plenty of light coming in from the seating area, so we just didn’t feel the window was adding much to the room. Construction went smoothy. There was a bit of rework with electrical, flooring and HVAC, but in the end, we think it was well worth it. The clients really wanted a sleek contemporary look, and we originally had planned for a full height slab backsplash, but due to it’s size, it was a budget buster. Instead, we got creative and settled on large format porcelain tiles that have a similar feel but were a fraction of the cost. We made sure the wall was plumb and level so that the fit and finish would mimic that of slab material. The final space was quite a change. A large prep sink sits directly across from the new pro-style range with plenty additional prep space on the large island. The refrigerator and ovens now have miles of landing space, and a nice tight work triangle makes cooking a breeze. Since we wanted a more contemporary feel, not many wall cabinets were included. Instead, we outfitted some of the drawers for dish storage with a peg system. Two large pantries flanking the refrigerator hold baking supplies and small appliances. Large drawers by the cooktop hold pots and pans, and an appliance garage tucked away to the left of the range hides away miscellaneous items. The large island also houses a microwave drawer and tons of storage, most of which is drawers offering maximum convenience. The island now seats 5-6 people comfortably along with the new table in the seating area which can seat up to 8. Entertaining will be a breeze in this space. With such a clean backdrop, we knew we would need some drama with the lighting, so we chose two sets of staggered pendants, which we adjusted for the right visual balance above the island. We also included a small coffee station to the right of the main kitchen, which helps keep the coffee clutter out of the kitchen proper. Two tones of complimentary gray are featured in this kitchen. The perimeter is a light gray that reads almost white. The island is a gray stain that adds some depth and interest with the visible wood texture. The countertops are clean white quartz, and the hardware, barstools and light fixtures add warm brass tones. I see lots of cooking and entertaining with family and friends in the near future in this bright and airy new space.
