I am the worst about consistently writing, with everything going on I just put it off until I can sit down and think. With several projects in their final phases, this has been hard to do. So here I am finally in the office catching up and I wanted to bring a few ideas to you guys on how to make that windowless bathroom not feel like a cave. I know many homes have at least one bathroom without a window, and it starts to get a little small with everything that has to fit in the space. So here are a few things that will make it stylish and make it feel bright and open.

I have been asked about patterns to do with tiles. Not pattern tile mind you, that is a whole other subject. So subway tile is extremely popular, its simple, relatively inexpensive (unless you go to some custom made tiles then you’re in another bracket) and have been around a long time.  So I have been looking around to find some unique ways to lay this tile and have some really fun ideas that even makes me want to put subway tile in my own home. I have always been somewhat against it for my personal residence for some reason but these patterns give me some major inspiration. These give it an almost fresh look over the traditional way it is installed.

For the past few years designers have been mixing it up a bit with materials and color choices in kitchens. As I sit here trying to incorporate a bar area into a kitchen with already black cabinets, I find myself doing the same thing. Why not designate areas with cabinet choices even when they are right next to one another? Is all white cabinets too… white? Here are some examples of what I think are wonderful ways of incorporating different tones in kitchens without compromising the timeless elegance.  Perhaps its just me falling in love with the warm woods with the stark whites, but all of these kitchens have a common theme.
