Whilst the co-ordinating 10mm indoor and 20mm outdoor porcelain tiles manage to create indoor to outdoor flow perfectly, this does not mean that the indoor and outdoor tiles cannot be used independently of each other.

The result is a unique and original series that combines multiple variations of stone into one.

My project partner and I are getting started on another client bathroom project. As I ponder choices for the space, I’ll be sharing them in Pinterest Boards, like this first one for Surfaces. There’s a lot to pull together and some unique challenges — like a master bath floor that isn’t tile or wood. I often “think out loud.” This is the visual equivalent of thinking out loud.

There is not a lot of inspired shopping anywhere, especially when it comes to the big global brands. Clearly, that is a bold statement, (and my opinion); generally there is repetitive design, poor lighting and uninspired merchandise.
