This bathroom's statement-making floor tile beautifully bridges the gap between midcentury and modern style.

A re-modeling and renovation project with the brief from our client to create a light open functional kitchen to act as the hub of a large open plan living area. An informal seating and dining area links the food preparation and dining spaces, with warm grey paint shades complimenting the limestone floor tiles

The new en suite master bathroom was designed with spa like luxury. The floors and walls in the main area of the bath are calacatta marble with a custom designed marble "rug" from Waterworks. The walls of the shower are a glass mosaic.

http://www.cookarchitectural.com Perched on wooded hilltop, this historical estate home was thoughtfully restored and expanded, addressing the modern needs of a large family and incorporating the unique style of its owners. The design is teeming with custom details including a porte cochère and fox head rain spouts, providing references to the historical narrative of the site’s long history.

A crisp white bathroom with graphic cement tile, enameled light fixtures, and a sink and shower suite by Moen was perfectly packaged with rolled, white towels in natural baskets. The custom-built driftwood vanity a la console-style makes this space special with a touch of elegance. We also carved out an awesome amount of unused space for this walk-in shower - you can stretch out after a day on the beach! Photo by: Alec Hemer

ON-TREND SCALES Move over metro tiles and line a wall with fabulously funky Fish Scale designs. Also known as scallop, fun or mermaid tiles, this pleasing-to-the-eye shape is a Moroccan tile classic that's trending hard right now and offers a sophisticated alternative to metro/subway designs. Mermaids tiles are this year's unicorns (so they say) and Fish Scale tiles are how to take the trend to a far more grown-up level. Especially striking across a whole wall or in a shower room, make the surface pop in vivid shades of blue and green for an oceanic vibe that'll refresh and invigorate. If colour doesn't float your boat, just exchange the bold hues for neutral shades and use a dark grout to highlight the pattern. Alternatively, go to www.tiledesire.com there are more than 40 colours to choose and mix!! Photo Credits: http://iortz-photo.com/
