New Slate and Hardwood

Chinese Slate (12×24), Laticrete Epoxy Grout: Autumn Green

Somerset Forest Brown, 3/4 x 5″ wide planks

The side of this cabinet had been re-painted to hide appliance heat damage, but the look wasn’t good.  We replaced the oven/microwave combo unit with a newer model and covered the existing cabinet with framed beadboard, painted to match beadboard on the bar (not pictured).

Our customer loved the flush mounted vents we stained and installed to match their new hardwoods.  They wanted the same look for their vents in the slate areas of the laundry, hall and half bathroom.  We stained them to match a piece of furniture in the half bath and the look turned out great.

Reclaimed Wood Shelves

These new shelves were part of an overall room remodel.  The room had previously been wallpapered with dark green paper, including the ceiling.  After it was hidden with drywall mud, primer and paint a much different room began to take hold.  Four new can lights, two new windows and the reclaimed wood shelves (pictured) completed the transformation.  The wood used to be floor joists in St. Mary’s Catholic School in Indianapolis.  They were salvaged from one of my favorite places, Doc’s.

New Shower

For this project we replaced a mauve-colored fiberglass insert, which I am sure was great when this home was first built.  The homeowners, however, were more than happy to have it removed and a custom shower constructed in it’s place.  Not only does the new space have a larger footprint yielding four more square feet, but the sides of the old insert are no longer protruding outward into the space.  A beautiful shower door from Indiana Glass Center finishes off this major upgrade.  Tile: 12×12 Montari Light Grey, Grout: Warm Gray, 1×1 accent band and floor of mixed products, marble and travertine.

Turf Stone Paver Walkway

Posted on by

We recently used a product that I think is great.  It is made by Belgard and offers the durability of a hardscape as well as the ability to retain grass or other plant growth.  The Turf Stone in this application will be seeded and soon give way to grass.  A finished material look can be found here.
