This addition replaces an old garage bump out that had been overtaken by nature. The new inside dimension offers an extra 100 sq’ of floor space. After paint, the “bump” will blend nicely with the existing garage.

This homeowner designed bathroom features a great B&W windmill patterned floor, subway tile with a discreet black pencil and an aloe-ish wall color. The combination looks great.

Tahoe Flat Top Fence
Recently completed three-phase fence project. This style, which I call Tahoe Flat Top, was borrowed from another fence project completed in 2009. TFT works best when there are no extreme elevation changes as the top of the rail’s height stays the same throughout the fence run. I prefer to use strap and pintle hinges for the gate hardware. This system allows for greater flexibility when aligning gates/doors.
To keep this fence looking great for a long time maintenance is key. After 12 months I recommend applying a stain or paint. In addition, regular cleaning and refastening as needed and then every two to three years reapplication of stain/paint.
Traditional and Timeless: Hexagonal and Subway Tile
This project utilized two of my favorite tile formats: 3″ x 6″ subway tiles in brick pattern and 1″ unglazed hex mosaic porcelain for the floor (Laticrete Epoxy Sterling Silver grout). The combination of these two styles forms a classic and elegant look as well as a clean and refined surface. In addition, the homeowner installed painted wainscoting to the lower five feet of the walls, complementing both tile formats. The top of the wainscot molding is a perfect match to the top ledge of the recessed medicine cabinet. Simple design elements, such as tile formats and matching moldings, are great ways to create wholeness in a space.
