The Bunk Bathroom

PDFPrintE-mail

Today I thought I would feature one of the many bathrooms that we completed on one of our larger projects that we worked on this past Spring.  This bathroom was designed using a number of different materials including glazed ceramics, glass tiles, granite slab materials and natural stone.  Our first set of pictures date back to January and February of this year as we see Installer Shane has completed the marble and glass mosaic floor and is now working on the shower.  These glass "fingers" tiles come in sheets but still a good amount of time and expertise to install.  Shane did a great job with this entire shower as he was only getting started on this one.  Note the plywood circle on the backwall.  This was a template to give Shane something to go to in order to skip this space for a future scupper window of sorts (see below).  Shane's wife Janet is shown here helping out in the early stages of this project, assisting Shane as he stays elevated to install the ceiling.

Our next two shots show this beautiful shower now finished including the scupper hole now completed in a modern-look stainless steel window.

And these last two pictures show the shampoo niche in this shower along with the ceiling, framed out in the same ceramic rails as the shampoo niche.

Chicago Reclaimed Brick

Recently we completed another kitchen floor.  This one however, was a bit different as we installed a used brick as specified from the job-site's designer, Mark Showell of Mark Showell Interiors (www.markshowellinteriors.com).  This used brick had been reclaimed, cut with a band saw to a 3/8" thickness (for flooring) and shipped out from Chicago.  Our job was simply to install these fine...

Justin's Beach House

Recently we completed a job that I considered as so much more than just a job.  We were chosen to be a part of a very special building project called the Justin's Beach House Project.  Justin W. Jennings was a young man who diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 1988.  This news came to Justin just one month prior to entering his freshman year at Penn State.  Though he was very much...

Waves of Tile

Recently we completed another kitchen backsplash.  This particular tile is a bit on the unique side of things since it is fashioned in the form of a wave or a scroll look.  Our installer Jason was tested, but proved once again to be the better when it came to installing this natural stone. By the time I caught up with Jason he was getting the grouting completed.  I will simply let the pictures...

Breaking the Weather

When our recent customer found water coming in his back door he realized that he needed something besides the hardwood flooring as a "weather break" at this area.  We were happy to accommodate by cutting this maple flooring back to an approximate 24" width and inserting these beautiful pebbles.  We then installed our waterproof, mold proof, stain proof grout called Spectra...

A Ceramic Area Rug

Well, after taking most of the summer off from blogging, I figured with fall in the air it was a good time as any to get back to writing and posting.  Today I thought I would feature a Hotel Lobby floor that we tackled in the town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This hotel lobby floor was upgraded by using  non-slip 12" x 12" porcelain tiles with a simple border to create this "area rug" effec...
