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.

Its a new year again, and of course its a time where everyone starts to put the design trends out there. I have noticed a few that I would like to write about, and probably have gone over in previous writings, but we are seeing some trends from last year stay strong. As well as some that are really fading out. Like vessel bowl sinks.
Last year I found a few obsessions on my own that seem to really be getting big this year, and some of these things are what I am hoping we see more of. Design is all about you though, whatever you like in your home is what is on trend. Though I would recommend staying away from avocado green on cabinets or something. These trends I am presenting are the ones that I would love to incorporate into my home, when I find one.
