Gender Blur- You bet! Pantone’s Color of the Year
For the first time, Pantone has deviated from tradition and selected two colors as Color of the Year – Rose Quartz and Serenity. It is a much softer take on color than last year’s rich choice of Marsala. The delicate pink and tranquil blue creates a balance between the warmth of the rose tone and the coolness of blue. It also challenges the traditional perceptions of color pairing. Regardless, these colors create a sense of calmness and relaxation. The choice reflects many global changes in fashion with gender blurring designs and a younger...

I’m really happy with the final result of this small bathroom update. Small baths are tough – how do you maximize minimal space? Well, with this bath we chose a neutral color palette, elongated tile designs and glass to make the space feel bigger. We selected 6” X 24” gray ceramic floor tile and laid it vertical to the tub to create an illusion of a longer room. We then added a 12” wide band of decorative tile in the center of the tube surround to draw the eye upward. Finally, we added an updated vanity with quartz counter, updated...

With weatherproof window panels and rug, along with sun resistant fabrics our porch is ready to use 3 seasons a year. So bring it on Mother Nature, we have it covered!
