Cotto dEste rethinks what tile can do. My travels to Europe in the last year have shown me that there are a lot of ways the US can improve on our business as usual.

2) Look what a difference just painting red brick does.The architecture of the fireplace now really stands out instead of the color, so do those woods floors. So we covered up the brick with black granite tiles and painted the tired wood white so now the dental moldings really show up. What a difference a little paint can make.

Labels: backsplashes , glass tile , kitchen remodels. When we redid our kitchen 10 years ago, I agonized over tile for the backsplash. Picked a very nice, yet boring tile.

This tile is great, it adds really nice texture without seeing any grout joints. On this fireplace, we did a Contours tile from Diamond Tech with a travertine slab on top of the hearth. So a really inexpensive way of fixing that, was to paint it a flat black, it does the trick every time. Well I mean the paint helped too, ha!
