Here's something I never thought of: glazing your own tile. The owners of this home purchased inexpensive quarry tile along with some glaze and kiln time at a local pottery shop and made these lovely tiles for their bath. I think that would be a really satisfying DIY project.

I just got sucked into the Bravo show Flipping Out. It's pretty amazing what Jeff Lewis can do with a property with good bones.

If you're entertaining the idea of remodeling your home and looking for ideas, this is a good one to watch.

I love the simple treatments on this Swedish guest house remodel by DAP.

I would love to use the woods wallpaper in a kitchen. It does seem to be a little ubiquitous right now, but i still think it would look great.

I like the slim lines of this shower head from Waterworks.

What a great use of light and space. The stainless steel counter is stunning and also notable is the clever use of a mirror on a wall to create the illusion of more space. I usually find mirrored walls to be sort of repulsive, but in this case it gives the illusion of a much larger space.

This is an interesting interpretation of a shower. This is a remodel of the Woodside House in Auckland by the Strahan Group Architects. You could create the same effect with custom glass which you can get locally. You can also get the shower head very economically for only $50. You can use your existing shower piping or your plumber can get it for you.

Penny tile is really quite versatile. It can be used on floors and walls in old homes and new construction alike. It can even be used in both residential and commercial without looking out of place.

I love the look in this home. And, at $5.75 a square foot it's fairly economical too.

I love these wall mount faucets. They really give an opportunity to create a serene space with not a lot of clutter or ornamentation.
