As I’ve said before, construction on the house is going quicker then I’ve expected. So quickly, in fact, that I realize that we need to figure out what we are going to do design wise, pronto. Since we’re already trying to pick out tile and flooring, I think we need to have a game plan when it comes to the general look we’re going for. Stefan and I picked up an amazing deign book called “Interior Design Details - 1000 New Ideas for the Home”. Here are two rooms that I really like:


“‘Neutra’ from Casa Dolce Casa is a decorators’ kit offering a collection of wall and floor tiles, both glass and porcelain, and mosaics with co-ordinated colors in matt and eggshell paints and grouting. Distressed walls in scumbled terracotta and ocher paint are anchored with big square charcoal “Carbone” floor tiles 600 x 600mm (23 1/8″ x 23 1/8″) grouted in anthracite.“


“A futon on a tiled platform has a dramatic backdrop of “Titanium” slabs, banded with “Copper” strips from Hyperion Tile’s “Metal” collection. Ceramic tiles look like Corten steel yet have all the durable qualities of ceramics. The adjoining bathroom walls are covered in small metallic porcelain tiles.“
