Glass backsplash tile has been around for years now, but turning this frosted seaglass tile to vertical orientation makes all the difference. It’s adds a cute modern edge.
Outdoor spaces need good design too. Redesigned a partially existing, overgrown and rotting deck into a nature-embracing modern deck space perfect for outdoor entertaining.
Updated an old brick BBQ with black paint and added a granite slab and a wood fired pizza oven to flank the newly erected outdoor kitchen. We gave a face-lift to a dated propane firepit with some heat resistant paint and a fun pattern. The contrast of the black, geometric patterns and slick cable railing with the warmth of the cedar stained wood match this home’s contemporary style.

The shower was completely transformed from a cookie cutter tub with curtain to an ultramodern shower. The sliding glass doors make the bathroom feel open and light filled and the grey-on-grey concrete look tile with ocean blue accents tie in with the blue vanity and art.

This bathroom was completely transformed with just a few hundred dollars in materials. Previously it was beige on beige on beige. All of the tile in this bathroom was painted – yes – painted. The shower is now bright white and looks brand new and the floor tile received a hand-painted stencil technique. The paint didn’t end there. The medium brown 90’s era cabinet was painted a deep grey and the walls were given a contrasting light grey. The new items? Just the marble countertop, new shell mirror, cabinet knobs and light fixture and art.
