Homeowners often spend the majority of their time (and budget) decorating the inside of their home, but the front and back yards are huge areas of opportunity as well. Freshening up your home’s landscaping – both the front and backyards – is beneficial to resale value. Adding value to your outdoor space involves more than just laying down a lush green lawn.

Tile and stone flooring systems are durable and beautiful, but due to their hardness, can transmit sound more easily between floors. Watch our Top 5 Tips video and learn how to reduce sound transmission and meet a specific delta IIC specification for your project. IIC, or impact insulation class, is the rating that measures impact sound reduction. Impact sound is any sound caused by something striking the floor, like footsteps or dropped objects.

Decorating around a theme is often the best way to create a room that is impressive. It provides an easy way to ensure that the room is ‘pulled together’ by way of a common thread. It also helps with decisions such as color selection, accessorizing, and furnishings. Rather than ponder whether or not to buy that amazing couch you just found, you can quickly and confidently say ‘yay or nay.’ Either it works with the theme or it doesn’t!

Choosing tile for your home is a lot of fun, and it’s easy to focus solely on all the beautiful colors and textures. But it’s just as important to pay attention to the method of installation. Without proper installation you won’t benefit from the full life expectancy of a quality tile – which is many years. A key component of tile installation is the use of the proper tools.

How to Floor Tile

This just a quick tip on installing a shower floor. What you see here is what we call a "pre-slope". This is drypack concrete and its sole purpose is to provide the initial slope to the drain. After this dries the membrane or waterproofing is applied to this and up the sides where the 2x6 is installed around the wall. This pre-slope is a bit wetter than I generally like to work with.

Kitchen islands serve a number of purposes. In addition to being a visual anchor in the space, they also help increase the room’s functionality and efficiency. And according to a survey by the National Association of Home Builders more than 70% of buyers want an island in their kitchen, and of those, 50% consider it a must-have. Since it’s apparent that adding an island is a sound investment, we’ve gathered 60 of our favorite kitchen island ideas to use for inspiration.

These twins may dress alike, but apparently they have very different tastes in textiles. One favors 'regular' fabrics, while the other prefers synthetics. The latter was an emerging class of material in 1955; with names straight out of the chemistry lab—Orlon, Dacron, and the like—they were presented as modern fabric miracles, resistant to wrinkling, staining, and fading.
