This recently widowed client was a military wife that moved around frequently and had a tough time putting paint on the walls. Now that she was settled in her forever home...she loved the addition of color and we made sure to keep with her comfort level with traditional pieces with a few more eclectic to spice it up a bit. The cabinet was a custom made piece that she enjoyed picking out the specific stain color for and sizing for her needs.

This casual, eclectic family room is welcoming and comfortable for a young family. As the main entry to the house, and the primary spot for hanging out and family movie nights, this room had to be tough. We used kid- and dog-friendly fabrics, rugs, and finishes to withstand wear and tear, but elegant lines and interesting accents in neutral and brass kept the room bright and elegant. Proof that good design is both functional and beautiful!

Concrete can be made to look like any substance. Tile, stone, wood, brick, etc. With unlimited color options, Ky-Kan Coatings can transform any room in your home or business using lightweight, beautiful concrete.

The new space feels light, airy and open exuding a tranquil sophistication. A relaxed, meditative atmosphere is achieved by combining glass tile, white walls, dark cabinets and a porcelain countertop.

Looking through the living area into the kitchen, the eye is drawn to sunny yellow walls, and upwards to the Serena & Lily Lemons wallpaper on the ceiling.

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!

Sustainable landscaping featuring low maintenance plants. The orange blooming plants are Dwarf Firebush shrubs. I paired them with Dwarf Natal Plum and Paspalum Ornamental grass. Dwarf Firebush shrubs sport orange flowers tipped with gold, which set off their beauty. A great nectar source for butterflies and hummingbirds adds to it's appeal.
They are really tough, so tough they are used in commercial locations and on some roadways. This delightful shrub blooms on and off all year - more during warmer weather - and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to its brightly-colored, tubular flowers.
It has a light and airy charm and looks best when it's hand-trimmed to form a natural mounded shape, rather than trying to keep it manicured with hedge trimmers.
Now this is not the native variety, for all you native plant purists out there, though many nurseries sell the dwarf as just "firebush," which can get confusing.
Here's how to tell the difference:
The native grows larger and has slightly "hairy" leaves and deep red to red-orange flowers. It's dwarf "cousin" can be kept smaller and more compact, though with a similar informal look.
The smaller variety has smoother leaves and a touch of yellow to the blossoms...and requires a bit more care.
This shrub is a fast grower that can be kept 3 feet tall and wide, though you can let it grow larger if you prefer.
Though considered evergreen, the plant can lose leaves during a cold winter, though with proper pruning in spring it should sprout new growth and flush out again. A location sheltered from winter winds will help protect it.
These plants prefer full to partial sun, though they'll grow in part shade, where they'll flower less with more open growth.
Landscape uses for dwarf fire bush:
• accent for a mixed bed
• informal hedge
• butterfly garden plant
• lining a walkway or garden path
• along a medium-height or tall fence
• around a poolcage, patio, porch or deck
• understory planting for tall palms
• backdrop planting for smaller plants

Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker):
This frequently bi-colored flower makes a dramatic statement in the garden and is an ideal plant for those who are new to gardening. In fact, this plant is so easy to grow it has been described as “tough to kill.” It is fairly drought-resistant, plus hummingbirds and butterflies love it. It is best planted in early spring or late fall.
When in bloom, the blossoms appear a bit like a hot poker or torch and for those feeling a bit of sadness saying good-bye to some of their lawn, note that these plants boast very “grass-like” leaves. This photo is of Vultaggio’s own garden and is courtesy of Sandra Vultaggio.
(Note: the dramatic dark blue/black flowers in the foreground are Salvia ‘Black and Blue’ which bloom from late spring to early autumn.)
So here's to millennials and their commitment to sustainability. If you have any questions on this topic, feel free to contact our office for more ideas.
Monarda (Bee Balm)
1. Native to North America, this beautiful flowering plant is from the mint family. It’s easy to grow, is deer resistant, and attracts pollinators like butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
It’s tubular flowers come in a variety of colors (pink, white, violet, red) and bloom in high summer through early fall. Bee Balm takes to full sun or light shade, and prefers a well-drained fertile soil. It needs some protection from excess moisture in winter.

About Replica Kubus Chair Josef Hoffmann:
Creaated in 1910 by Josef Hoffmann, the Kubus Arm Chair shows the interesting geometric lines and 3D squares that turned into Hoffmann’s trademark amid the mid twentieth century. His capacity to make convincing furniture utilizing clean lines and geometrical shapes set him separated from his peers and secured his remarkable style – a style that was to motivate both the precursors of Art Deco and the Modernist Movement. A piece of the Kubus Collection of furniture, the Hoffmann Kubus Chair is without a doubt the highlight of the extent: a current masterpiece and a lavishly useful bit of furniture all moved into one. The seat’s special shape is both tough and delightful, and the fantastic cubic outline brings style to any environment: home, workspace or capacity room.
This is a high quality replica made of genuine Italian leather from the original piece.
Replica Kubus Chair Josef Hoffman DETAIL:
