One of the biggest trends in residential and commercial flooring the past few years is porcelain tile that looks like wood. While some trends have tremendous staying power, it’s a given that many “must-have” designs soon become dated decor you’d like to forget.

Great looking tile installations start with a level subfloor. This is especially important if you’re installing large format tile or plank style tile with one side 15” or greater. Without proper preparation, uneven subfloors can cause tile lippage or even cracking! First, prime your underlayment with LevelQuik® Latex Primer. It seals porous surfaces and improves the bond of underlayments.

It’s been a hyper-busy week! I’ve been working on shot lists for the New Bathroom Idea Book, articles for the San Diego Union-Tribune and Kitchen & Bath Design News and working with my current clients. Since I’ve run out of both time and creative juice, I thought I’d share some links to interesting tidbits related to all of this busy-work: I was introduced to an intriguing new design site called Dering Hall.

This may come as a surprise but I don’t talk about everything that goes on here at the office ( just about ) and that extends to projects. I suppose it should be obvious but we do more than 1 or 2 project I showcase here on the site. So exactly how do I choose which things to focus on or which projects to feature? Well, it’s pretty easy actually.

The Perfect Bath

Exposed tub fillers were all but lost for a time, except for the modest devices used in rusting footed tubs. Their scale was very small and they delivered a minimal amount of water, usually with broken white porcelain handles. Times have changed! Today, there are many styles of such fittings — some with hand showers, some without; in brass, nickel, or other custom finishes; with levers or cross handles; on free-standing legs or wall mounted.
