Creative Thinking: Part 6

Flooring can go a long way in adding dimension to a room, and a big change to wood or tile can transform a space. I changed my hardwood floors to a much lighter look, but it took a lot of time and effort to get just the right mixture. For the mudroom entry and shower floor, I used a great limestone tile from Greenwich Tile and Marble.

The MBB flooring crew preps the floor for the latest stain mixture. This was a long and challenging process and you really have to want it to endure it!

The material palette for the shower and floors: Polished Verona blend tile in a stacked mini-brick pattern, limestone in Normandy Gray, and wood flooring.
