The above backsplash shows off a unique way to use InLine K. Seriously, who doesn’t love diamonds? We spent time the past couple weeks taking out our festive fall décor – decorating our tabletops, pulling out the inviting door wreaths, preparing our space for the gatherings and feasts that come with the season. Every year we enjoy taking the time to think about what decorations to put out.

As The Tile Turns

NOVEMBER 6, 2019

Black and white is an inherently classy color combination, but it briefly fell out of favor during the all-white craze of the past decade. Thankfully, this gorgeous pairing is in the midst of a well-deserved comeback — spurred, in part, by an ongoing preference for neutrals. Today’s black and white designs allow homeowners to move beyond white-dominant looks while continuing to harness the versatility of the neutral approach.

Life of an Architect

NOVEMBER 3, 2019

It’s not a secret – or at least it shouldn’t be much of one. Architects should be on Instagram and I would like for them to post pictures of what they do during the day. There is so much good stuff out there that people are doing and few people know anything about it. I am making it my personal mission to singlehandedly change this by proselytizing the benefits of sharing information in a medium that is readily available to the masses.
