Glass tiles are durable and easily cleaned with typical household products. Yes, you can walk on glass tiles. They wear well and will not break.

Tiles

Belgian Art Nouveau floor tiles - early 20th century (CE42)
Header_thumb

SOLD SOLD SOLD

A beautiful and complete Belgian antique ceramic floor with original triple border tiles dated early 20th century removed from a period house in the suburbs of Liege, Belgium. The surface area of the floor totals more than 15.5m2 / 165 sq ft and the tiles bear the inscription ‘CNW’, an abbreviation for ‘Societe Anonyme Le Ceramique National, Welkenraedt’, a company established at Forges-lez-Chimay in 1892 which later opened a subsidiary in Walkenraedt in 1900. The Welkenraedt factory continued to trade until the mid 1920’s. The delicate white flower design, thought to be a Trillium, is present on both the principal field tiles and the large border tiles. The smaller half size border tile borrows from the same colour palette in delicate, fluid swirls typical of an early Art Nouveau period influenced by vegetal themes. The tiles are 14cm sq (5 ½ inches), with the exception of the half size border tiles which frame the larger border tiles. The floor is in very good condition – a very small number of tiles display occasional chips expected of a floor of this age, but the photographs are an accurate representation of the floor and more high resolution ones are available on request. The tiles have all been professionally cleaned of their old lime based mortar and have had old wax and dirt removed with a high pressure steam clean. They are therefore ready for re-laying. Being ceramic they are suitable for internal or external use and can be use with an under-floor heating system.

Custom Carved Wood Garage Doors

In most home designs today, garage doors face the street and take up a lot of real estate on the front of the house. Most garage doors aren’t particularly attractive either. If you’re tired of driving up to that lack of curb appeal, then you can get custom designed doors that will give the front of your home a major attractiveness boost.

As an example of what can be done, check out these carved wooden garage doors from The-Wood Studio in Thailand.

Like carriage doors, they swing outward rather than lifting overhead (don’t worry–you can still find garage door openers that work with this style of door).

If you like the carvings and details in these doors, you can contact the company for more information. They do unfinished, pre-finished, and finished doors in numerous styles and can carve crests, coat of arms, logos, names, horses, flowers and other unique ornaments into their designs.

Bath room design


Today I was looking for bathroom remodeling ideas and I’ve found an Italian company that produces modern contemporary bathroom designs. This company is called Mastella and it was founded in 1984. Today Mastella is a solid company with a consistent, easily identifiable image, run by Antonio Mastella with the help of wife Daniela and daughters Cristina and Meggi. While I was browsing their product portfolio I’ve found a bathroom vanity that I wanted to present, but I thought that if I’ll present a collection of pictures, that might inspire other people who want to remodel their bathroom it would be better. So here are 7 pictures that I hope will give you a little inspiration if you’re going to remodel your bathroom.

Complete Bathroom Design and Fitting Service

The complete bathroom service consists of all bathroom design, help and recommendations with choosing a new bathroom suite, shower, fittings, lighting, tiles and floor coverings. Including dealing with suppliers and ordering all the items so ensuring that everything fits together, and is delivered when needed. Your peace of mind is virtually guaranteed. My prices are usually significantly less than the big bathroom companies who have to support showrooms and salespeople. You also benefit from dealing with one person through design and fitting. No possibility of the designer blaming the installer, and so on. This minimises frustration or delays and eliminates the horror stories of projects dragging on for months because of poor design and subsequent fitting delays.

Bathroom Fitting

For customers who want to buy their own suite, a "fitting only" service is available. But it is recommended that all items are carefully checked prior to ordering for compatibility with each other and your plumbing system. Help is at hand if you need it.

Glass Painting

bath room

Eliminate concern over condensation and dust on bathroom blinds.

Not just limited to windows, decorative glass can be used in a variety of locations throughout your home: shower doors, front doors, room dividers or simply as a piece of art. Windows that require privacy or those where window treatments are awkward are prime candidates for this stylish solution that allows you to keep the natural light coming in. If you are building or renovating and would like to replace a clear window with something special then SGO can make carved glass, textured glass or create custom images if you have something specific in mind.
