Spanish tile design today is filled with geometric shapes such as hexagons, octagons and rhomboids that create stunning visuals and dynamic spaces. These designs are seen on both floor tile and wall tile, and often coordinate with more traditional formats to create a standout appearance. Fragments, defined lines and chevron patterns are a few popular trends that have been seen this year, which can all be accomplished with the installation of geometric tiles, such as those from Ceranosa, Ceramic

We’ve got a long history with ceramic beads and buttons at Heath. Edith Heath originally developed the process of making beads and buttons because they were “kiln fillers” — small items that could fit into tight corners and spaces in and around other dinnerware products in the kilns. Aside from being miniature pieces of art, the kiln fillers helped balance the kilns and make for more efficient firing of our dinnerware.

Memorial Day is not about furniture sales. It’s not about using your fabulous outdoor kitchen for a holiday weekend barbecue. Or spending a day at the beach. It’s about honoring those who gave their lives in battle. It’s about memorializing those who gave all and their ultimate sacrifice. This is what Memorial Day is about. In earlier generations, just about every American was related to a veteran.

In modern and contemporary home designs, the idea of an open-concept kitchen has gained major footing in recent years. These designs allow for greater home fluidity, and have a tendency to create an inviting and warm space, even in your high-tech home. Additionally, an open concept kitchen can allow for a massive number of unique and appealing design ideas that would otherwise be difficult, if not outright impossible.

Portrait of Margaret Olley in her Paddington studio by John McRae, 2011. Margaret Olley (1923-2011) is another artist I discovered because I was searching for Margarets. In Australia, she is well known. I had not heard of her, and it reminds me of when I left Canada, and all the artists, writers and musicians who were invisible in the United States. .

I don’t know about you, but my family loves to garden! I find that the older I get the more I appreciate the relaxation and rejuvenation I feel from tending the garden during the season. We just planted 3 different kinds of tomatoes, zucchini squash, 2 peppers (red & green). There really is nothing better than eating what you grow! Have you gotten your vegetable garden started yet?

Most Americans spend Memorial Day kicking off the BBQ season with their family and friends. It’s a great time to celebrate the freedoms we have with our loved ones while taking the time to reflect and give thanks to the men and women who courageously fought and gave their lives for our freedoms.

To my delight I discovered she had an orange dining room, and often painted there, as well as a yellow living room and a green kitchen.
