THE HEART OF A HOME

They say the kitchen is the heart of a home. Being in Virginia Beach all weekend for my husband's marathon somehow reminded me of the importance of eating well, which of course reminded of the importance of having a well decorated kitchen. Go figure? One of our upcoming projects is a backsplash makeover.


Searching for tile in a home store is like searching for which candy you will choose to scoop into your little plastic bag. There are many options! Just like many things in your home, kitchen tile may help to convey your personal style. The location of your home plays a huge role. For example, if you live near water, glass mosaic tile is beautiful. The way light reflects glass tile really brings the ocean or the lake indoors. What if your style is tuscan? Using deep colors-such as reds, blues, oranges-is lovely. What if your style is modern? There are so many cool, sleek options. For me, I am always drawn to shiney, white subway tile. I enjoy making the backsplash a clean, timeless backdrop and not the focal point in a space.
