This kitchen remodel began sooner than expected when a broken pipe caused significant water damage to the homeowners' existing cabinets. What started as an unexpected repair quickly became an opportunity to create the kitchen they had been envisioning. We installed beautiful new Polar white cabinetry paired with elegant Berwyn quartz countertops, giving the space a bright and timeless feel. By removing the wall oven, we were able to add valuable cabinet storage and improve the kitchen's overall functionality. A gray tile backsplash ties the design together beautifully, complementing the new cabinetry and countertops while working seamlessly with the existing flooring. The result is a fresh, functional kitchen that better suits the homeowners' lifestyle, and they couldn't be happier with the transformation.

This primary bath transformation included completely reworking the layout in order to flow better and open up the space. A custom color vanity to tie in the blue herring bone tile in the shower, makes a calming, inviting space. We were able to increase storage space, have a separate water closet as well as a wet room with ample size shower and a built in tub. **Bonus photo of the "pup-spector" on this project**

This project was driven by a commitment to sustainability and repurposing existing materials, seamlessly blending the old with the new while minimizing waste. The goal was to transform the backyard into a lush garden oasis with a low-water and low-maintenance design. Despite challenges posed by the property's proximity to the golf course and specific guidelines, a harmonious integration of desert plant life and low-water lush plants was achieved. Reusing existing materials and replacing natural grass with synthetic turf minimized water usage, while strategic plant placement utilized run-off water for sustainable irrigation. Navigating the constraints imposed by the Country Club, the project created a cohesive outdoor space and repurposed cobblestones to bridge the gap between the golf course and the rear of the property. This project achieved a balance between ecological consciousness and aesthetic beauty, allowing the garden oasis to coexist harmoniously with the golf course backdrop, providing the clients with a serene and vibrant landscape that aligns with their vision and respects the natural resources of the community.

A new concrete driveway was added to accommodate the relocated garage door, along with an exterior light and convenient water hose – perfect for rinsing off lawn equipment or watering gardening projects. The exterior of the building also got a refresh with new paint.

Keeping the same brick, these homeowners gave it new life by painting it a neutral gray for future use and longevity. New siding, fresh trim, and a modern coat of paint on the existing brick. The result is a cohesive, contemporary exterior that blends style, durability, and thoughtful design — turning what could have been a setback into a stunning transformation.

For this job, I had the pleasure of visiting the historic Salts Mill, a former textile mill turned art gallery, shopping centre, and restaurant complex near Bingley, West Yorkshire. It was built in 1853 by the famous manufacturer and philanthropist, Sir Titus Salt, and was at one point the largest industrial building in the world by total floor area. As you can imagine, a lot of the rooms at Salts Mill are over a century and a half old. Most of them also contained stone flooring made from Yorkstone – a type of Sandstone unique to Yorkshire, and easily distinguishable due to its rich, natural yellow colouring. Unfortunately, one such floor in the Salts Mill was in quite a bad state. It has completely lost its vibrance – appearing more grey than yellow – and was evidentially in need of a very deep clean and fresh seal. I started the Yorkstone tile restoration by soaking the floor in a strong dilution of our reliable alkaline-based tile cleaner, Tile Doctor Pro Clean, and scrubbing it in using a rotary machine fitted with a scrubbing pad. This quickly removed the initial layers of muck and, in the process, revealed oil-based paint and glue stains all over the floor. To break down the oil and paint I applied Tile Doctor Remove & Go, which is our heavy duty stripper, remover and degreaser. This quickly ate through the paint and glue, and I followed by giving the floor another thorough clean with Pro Clean. Finally, I rinsed the floor with clean water before leaving it to dry for a full two days due to the amount of chemical cleaning product and water applied. Upon my return to the Salts Mill two days later, I ran some quick damp tests to check for any excess moisture which could’ve prevented me from sealing the floor. Thankfully, the floor was dry and ready to be sealed, but it is always recommended, especially with older floors, to be aware of damp issues as these can be very troublesome. My choice of sealer was Tile Doctor Seal and Go, a topical sealer which provides a robust, stain resistant seal and a durable low sheen finish all in one product. Multiple coats of Seal and Go were applied, bringing the life and character back to these classic tiles. Nigel Stoker North West Yorkshire Tile Doctor
