I have always been a big fan of pebbles and have spec’d them more than once for bathrooms, but have yet to convince a client to actually say yes. Mosaic pebbles come meshed mounted for easier installation. They are available in a variety of colors and sizes. And for those who can’t quite get used to the spa feel of walking/standing on smooth rounded pebbles – there is even a “flat-cut” pebble mosaic. Enjoy viewing these pebble ideas for the bath as shown in Houzz. And if you are ready to put them into your bath – give me a call.

Every year we have the best time wandering through Bellevue Arts Fair. Viewing all the displays, talking with the artisans and gathering business cards for future reference. This year, I fell in love with a bowl from Firedance Design (Eureka, CA). The colors and design are just right for the kitchen and it adds a splash of summer fun!

Remodeling your home is one major aspect of a new room, Re-evaluating your stuff is equally important.

It is easy to get caught up in the happiness of a remodeled room. The thought of new tile, updated appliances, fresh colors, attractive faucets and a great design are all very exciting. Most of us focus on the selections and decisions that need to be made to accomplish the new look and function of the new room.

Over time while working with many clients, I have learned that there is another vital step to every remodel. That step is to re-evaluate all your “stuff”. Anything that is not structurally part of your home falls into the category of personal possessions or stuff. And most of us have lots of stuff; some of which you have even forgotten you own. Do you still want it? Do you still need it?

Eliminate Chaos written by Laura Leist, founder of the company by the same name, focuses on The 10-Step Process to Organize Your Home & Life. Laura’s thoughtfully-written book takes you through the steps, process and rational that will bring orderly life back into your home. Think how refreshing it will feel to walk into a remodeled room, but to live in an orderly and organized one as well.
