Tile is a classic material for floors because it's durable, available in a wide range of styles and materials, and relatively easy to keep clean. There's a new flooring trend showing up lately that takes a classic tile floor to a new level: the use of multiple sizes of tiles in one floor. The result is a floor with loads of dimension and style, that turns a 'classic' material on its head!

There are many details to think about when attempting to successfully turn a design vision into a reality you can enjoy.

Besides adding value to your home, the beautiful look of hardwood floors, if taken care of properly, can last for generations. Yet many people have never owned this type of flooring and are uninformed on the proper methods needed to care for them.

You want to give your kitchen a new look but can't afford the cost or time involved in a major renovation. Consider installing a backsplash. Backsplash is simply a vertical extension of a countertop, but the look it creates is amazing.

Backsplash tiles come in countless styles and materials. From ceramic, glass, and porcelain to granite, marble, stone, or metal, textured or smooth,...
