New Tile Line, Just Introduced! Part 1

This is a sneak peek of a new line by Jeffrey Court, a California tile maker.

I can't decide which new introduction I like best. I would love the glass and metal penny mosaic on my kitchen backsplash and the ogee on my shower walls.

New Tile Line, Just Introduced! Part 2

Jeffrey Court is known for classic, timeless styles.

These glass and metal blends are safe for wall applications or light traffic residential floors. Wouldn't one of these blends make an excellent powder room floor?

Original Wood Floors

These floors were laid in 1858 in the carriage house at Wollersheim Winery in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin.















The rustic, wide plank, wood floor is becoming popular again for all styles of home. With kids, pets or high heels, these floors can withstand a lot of abuse and new dents and scratches just add to its charm.

You can get this look from Anderson's Biltmore collection found at ProSource Wholesale Floorcoverings.

Stone and Ceramic Backsplash

My first backsplash.

She wanted all green marble and he wanted all neutral ceramic. This is the result of their compromise. Simple, functional, and they both love how it fits the theme of their home.

Google Images and All It's Glory

Have you ever tried Google Images for flooring ideas?

Search: Glass Backsplash, Stone tile installed, or Tile backsplash.

This tool gives me new ideas, by seeing what other people are doing with flooring and most importantly helps me communicate design ideas.

Recently a ProSource member came to the showroom to select a stone for her spec home fireplace. This is what she chose:

Rain Forest Green Marble by Dal Tile

The sample seemed perfect for her application, but she was unsure if the marble would be neutral enough for the project. I used a Google Image search to find this installation picture:

In the end she decided to use Rain Forest Brown by Dal Tile. This marble is as dramatic as her original choice with neutral colors that appeal better to potential home buyers.
