With a 140-square foot bath, a list of wants and wishes and careful planning, this primary bath was completely transformed into a calming, balanced escape. “It was apparent that the existing space would not allow for a separate shower, freestanding tub, double vanities and a separate toilet room,” says Chris Paul, designer at Alspaugh Kitchen & Bath. To accommodate these wishes, additional space was taken from the primary bedroom and the bathroom’s entrance was relocated.

Tiling a bathroom or kitchen can be a long, intensive task. With the introduction of peel-and-stick tile, homeowners are able to create short-term solutions for design problem areas throughout their home.

Decorative DIY

    Palm Springs, California evokes mental images of sunshine, palm trees and a fabulous array of mid-century modern architecture. In the middle years of the 20th century, this resort town for the rich and famous took on a new look that remains today. During the 1950s and 1960s, moneyed clients encouraged modernist architects’ use of new, post-World War II technologies in designing daring looks for their seasonal homes.

Classic

Furniture has been designed for both comfort and beauty. Fabric and paint add artistic character. Choosing a piece of printed furniture can be compared to adding artwork to a room.  It can be an upholstered chair or a painted chest. There are a myriad of choices which will add warmth and charisma to your room. Printed furniture will always be a classic because without it we lose a little of our spirit of expression.
