Wood tiles have been a popular choice in creating a retro-design for those restoring older homes.  Flux Studios Fortis Arbor wood mosaic tiles are made using bamboo scraps and are assembled with low-VOC adhesives making it a 'green' solution for a bathroom or kitchen remodel. 

Wood tiles handcrafted from solid bamboo, teak and rosewood can be used in virtually any interior application with limited water exposure. Fortis Arbor Wood Mosaic Tiles, are a great alternative to the usual ceramic tiles.  Each tile is cut by hand, and the materials are harvested through partnerships with furniture makers in which Flux Studios collects off-cuts and cast-off wood pieces.  Fortis Arbor Grout was developed specifically to move with the natural expansion and contraction of Fortis Arbor wood tiles. It allows for maximum performance and easy installation of wood tiles.

Many times when designing a remodel, homeowners shy away from using brighter colors, but sometimes using the right color can give your kitchen or bathroom that 'pop' you have been longing for. 

Here we share the idea of using the very large spectrum of colors that Ceasarstone provides to give you that look.  Caesarstone is another line of quartz surface that is made of 93% natural quartz.  From reds, to greens, to tradition white, this material gives you a chance to be a true artist in designing your home. 

I love product 'look-a-likes".  Not only do they cost less, more often than not, but the product looks just as great and wears well over time.  Here we have a great substitute for stone and petrified wood countertops. 

Formica has a product to emulate the look of stone slab and petrified wood.  The 180fx series laminate shows off a large format and advanced printing, accentuated with coordinating matte, satin, and polished finishes give the appearance of a realistic texture. The surfacing is available in seven new designs.

This just might be the countertop product you are longing for in your kitchen or bathroom.  If so, let us help you start designing your next remodel using Formica!

This is a great idea for homes with limited window space.  Acrylic block operable awning windows make the most out of home designs with fewer window openings and provide light, privacy and fresh air while adding long-lasting style and value to any home.

With the Hy-Lite line of operable Decorative Glass Windows, homeowners can select from operable casement or awning windows in American, Craftsman, Euro, Euro Blue, Brilliance Wrought Iron and Spring Flower styles. The combined aspect of easy-open windows and Energy Star qualified energy efficiency options on many of these windows make them a choice for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and bedrooms.

When designing a kitchen or bathroom remodel with limited window openings, these are a great option, especially here in Phoenix.  It's a great way to enjoy the wonderful weather we have 8 months of the year!

If you are considering replacing your old cabinets for newer cabinets... take a look at this first.

The Cinnabar wet glaze finish by Decora can be painted over existing cabinets.  It works with wood’s natural beauty to expose variation in tone while highlighting the natural texture. The warm reddish-brown glaze shades darker on bold wood such as alder and appears lighter on cherry and maple, a variety that can provide a unique accent to a room or work as a neutral complement to a variety of room elements. The glaze is shown here on Willshire maple cabinets alongside the Bombay island.

So if you want a fresh new look in your bathroom or kitchen, maybe think about refurbishing your old cabinets first, before replacing them.  Give us a call and we'll give you our experienced option on whether this is a good idea for your next kitchen or bathroom remodel.
