This fireplace surround was created using natural limestone plaster applied to standard drywall and carved into a stone block pattern. The primary reasons for using this technique are its lower cost compared to quarried stone, lower weight, and the ability to choose any color and pattern that is desired. Scott Nelson

Old Lyme, CT. Prime property for good reason, beach homes beckon you outside by appealing to the senses. The lulling sounds of rolling waves, the beauty of a seemingly eternal body of water, the salty smell of evening breezes, and the tickle of changing terrain underfoot all make waterside setups particularly peaceful. So with sand and sea bumping up to their backyard, these Connecticut homeowners were ready to max out their space for maximum outdoor living. To take on the transformation, they hired designer Michael Gotowala, president of Preferred Properties Landscaping & Masonry. Multiple terraces of stone and granite patios feature a breakfast nook, seating under a sail-inspired cloth shade, fire pit, and hot tub installed in stone. The outdoor kitchen’s design is especially distinct for two reasons: One, this section is built out and fully finished with stone and granite, and two, the space is sunken into the landscape to block the wind and protect from the elements. Outfitted with all the appliances needed for gourmet grilling in the great outdoors, additional amenities such as the gas fireplace for warmth and ambiance as well as a granite surround for seating complete this Connecticut cookery for optimum outdoor living.

1/4 minus gravel is is same path material used in Seattle Parks. Here we have set Montana Ironstone on the 1/4 minus gravel to great utility. The reason I prefer this grade is the ability to pack tight like concrete so that it will set the stone steady and does not grow weeds as readily as a more coarse gravel might. The other reason I like this is that is does not "contaminate" the surrounding beds like a larger particle might. Gil Schieber

The kitchen is a part of the home in which you likely spend a reasonable amount of time. When shopping around for a new home, the kitchen is generally a room that stands out. A home with an outdated kitchen will sell for less than a home with a renovated, updated kitchen. For reasons such as this (and of course comfort), it is important to keep your kitchen updated and in great shape.

This bathroom design has been made according to customer's design project. One of the greatest things about integrated sinks is that they are practical because they allow you to wipe up any countertop mess right into the sink, making it easy to clean. Choosing a glass integrated sink is even better for many more reasons. One main reason is the fact that glass, as the sink material, is non-porous, durable, and hygienic. There is nothing better than easy clean-up, especially in a bathroom. Water spills, makeup dust, hair, etc. are all things that you deal with when cleaning your bathroom. Having your entire sink and countertop as one, non-porous material, makes it extremely easy to clean and maintain. Our mirrors can be used in the bathroom as in any other room in the house. The beauty of our glass mirrors is that the whole mirror, including the frame, is made out of decorative glass. It is up to you to customize the shape and choose the most appropriate size for your mirror, whether it is a large wall mirror, a small mirror on top of your bathroom sink, or a framed mirror for a dressing room. CBD Glass will make sure your mirror is one of a kind, unique, and serves its purpose while highlighting the rest of your interior.

One of the reasons we recommend Lutron shades is that they allow customers to choose their own custom designs and fabrics, so we worked with the client to create the perfect motorized blineds for living room and his entire apartment. Another reason we like working with Lutron is their shades’ dependability; the company provides an eight-year warranty, but we’ve never had a client who needed to use it.

Even though Aly and her husband were comfortable enough for a DIY project, she wasn’t quite sure how to make her kitchen design come alive. She had researched examples of kitchen designs on HOUZZ but needed professional design services. She explains: “The installation was an obstacle because we had to figure a lot of it out ourselves as there weren’t any direct installation instructions. We just looked at the layout pictures and tried to figure it out from there!” She continues: “We wanted to use IKD for several reasons. The main reason is we have a corner flat front/45-degree angled sink and IKEA didn’t have a base cabinet option for that. So, we needed IKD’s help to figure that situation out.” “Also the filler IKEA pieces were a nightmare to cut,” she adds. IKEA cabinetry provided the perfect solution and helped create an efficient workflow in the U-shaped space. The black KUNGSBACKA cabinetry also blends nicely with the white quartz countertops and Pergo flooring, adding warmth to a sleek, minimalistic IKEA kitchen. And working with IKD also provided another pragmatic solution. “We live four hours from the nearest IKEA, so the fact that we were able to have help planning our kitchen and ordering it, and having it all delivered to our house was a huge help!”Aly concludes.
