What do you think, would you go with black and white for the color scheme of your kitchen? That's what we at Flooring Creations helped the homeowners of this beautiful kitchen choose! This traditional kitchen is visual proof that adding in some elements of contemporary design does not have to feel cold. The space combines the bold, dark colors of the durable granite counters and the glass & stone mixed mosaic backsplash, with the clean white cabinetry that keeps the kitchen area looking airy and bright, even when the natural lighting doesn't reach the end of the long room. Plus, the different textures of the mosaic backplash gives it extra visual interest making this kitchen anything but boring black and white! It's a timeless makeover that will last for years to come, and if the homeowners want to, it will be easy to incorporate color by the use of accent pieces. They can easily add some colorful dishes, chairs, vases, and other little objects that can be switched out whenever they want to showcase a new color! For example, they can add red and green decorations during Christmas and the holidays, and fun bright colors during spring time!

While we typically focus on high end homes, this small 1980's house in Stafford sold for under $200,000. We did a remodel and make ready for the homeowner prior to listing so they could take advantage of our hot market. This house is proof that good design can make inexpensive material selections look really good, and that you don't have to spend a fortune on a nice remodel.

This Houston, Texas River Oaks home went through a complete remodel of their master bathroom. Originally, it was a bland rectangular space with a misplaced shower in the center of the bathroom; partnered with a built-in tub against the window. We redesigned the new space by completely gutting the old bathroom. We decided to make the space flow more consistently by working with the rectangular layout and then created a master bathroom with free-standing tub inside the shower enclosure. The tub was floated inside the shower by the window. Next, we added a large bench seat with an oversized mosaic glass backdrop by Lunada Bay "Agate Taiko. The 9’ x 9’ shower is fully enclosed with 3/8” seamless glass. The furniture-like vanity was custom built with decorative overlays on the mirror doors to match the shower mosaic tile design. Further, we bleached the hickory wood to get the white wash stain on the cabinets. The floor tile is 12" x 24" Athena Sand with a linear mosaic running the length of the room. This tranquil spa bath has many luxurious amenities such as a Bain Ultra Air Tub, "Evanescence" with Brizo Virage Lavatory faucets and fixtures in a brushed bronze brilliance finish. Overall, this was a drastic, yet much needed change for my client.

The original doorway to the living room was taken out - leaving the kitchen accessible only from the dining room and allowing for more cabinet space. A breakfast bar/homework area was designed into the space. This area boasts an integrated cork board, flush with the blue-green linear mosaic backsplash. A tall pantry with pull-out shelving allows for easy access to larger appliances and food storage.
