Tile & Granite Surfaces Abound |
|
|
|
Local tile layer Jimmy Kight and John Nash's Tehachapi team have been working many hours to lay the miles of tiles. We have tile floors in all of the bathrooms, the laundry room, downstairs hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, family/great room, balconies, office, dining courtyard, back porch, back splashes, and the interior & exterior stair risers. There is a lot of tile in this house.
One of our favorite tiles is the stuff that looks like wood. We put it in the office upstairs, the entry hall, living room and dining room. Really neat stuff and it looks wonderful.
Artistic Creations of Bakersfield did a beautiful job on our granite countertops. We used granite for all the bathrooms, laundry room, morning kitchen, and kitchen.
One of the more interesting rooms is my "dungeon" powder room with dark slate tiles on the floor and walls, a black sink & toilet and dark wood painted door. |

The creation of the spa in the Guest Suite Bathroom. We wanted the feel of tumbled stone and earthy colors. Clockwise: Top - the sink area gets a mud job; the shower gets started, the shower is completed; the finished sink area. |

The Living Room floor getting tile installed. The tile looks like wood planks and has an aged feel. |
