Kitchen Tile Shopping Guide

FAQ of the day: When should tile be used in a kitchen? How much tile? Backsplash only? Floor only? Both? Is glass tile a good choice? Is it safe to use travertine on a floor?

These are all great questions! To help answer some of them, we wanted to post this article from the 'Elle Décor' website. If you are considering tile for your backsplash and/or floor, please take a minute to read through this article.

Tena worked with Bill Barr of Surroundings on this beautiful kitchen. Bill selected gorgeous glass tile for the backsplash and arranged it in a vertical fashion instead of the typical horizontal layout. Super funky and very unique!

Kitchen & Bath Inspiration Boards on Pinterest

We always ask our clients to do their homework: Clip out inspiration photos for their project and make a little (or BIG in some cases!) folder. These folders, full of ideas and images, help us gain a sense of our client’s style, wants and needs. 

As we evolve with the technology, we are now using the ever so fabulous Pinterest for digital “inspiration folders.” We are pinning away at Details and greatly encourage you, as our future clients, to get pinning! Check out a few of our “inspiration” pins.

We hope that you will take a moment and check out our growing collection of inspiration photos as well as our board of completed projects. Be sure to "follow" us to see what is in store for the future!

Happy Pinning!

What Type of Sink is Right for Me?

FAQ of the day: “What type of sink is right for me?”   Do you like the look of an Apron Front vs. Undermount? Do you prefer Stainless over Cast Iron or Fireclay?

There are so many decisions that need to be made when creating a new kitchen. We love to find tools that help with the process. Check out what we found on Kohler’s website today:

They put together a “Selection Guide” to help you with the process. We have a variety of sink options on display at our showroom. This is a photograph of Kohler's Verity Sink (stainless apron front) in our "Coastal Living" display.

Bullivant Farm Kitchen & Bath Remodel

Our Bullivant Farm project started back in 2008. We worked with In-House Custom to remodel three bathrooms and spruced up the kitchen with gorgeous new countertops, fixtures, etc.  Our clients were extremely happy with the results! In the early months of 2011, this beautiful home was destroyed by a horrible fire (everything but the Master Bath – pictured below). Although the circumstances weren’t great, we had the pleasure of working with these wonderful clients again to rebuild the home. The kitchen was done in a combination of StarMark and Medallion Cabinetry, beautiful green granite countertops, SubZero refrigeration and a Wolf cooktop. The end result is breathtaking!
