Natural Floors Accent A Vibrant Home

Allow me to introduce you to, Taittinger.  She was so kind, along her sibling Piper, and her human family to let me photograph her vibrant home in Metro Atlanta.  I never saw Piper during my visit who I can only assume was napping in a sunny spot.  Homeowners, Tia and Chuck, came to Top Floors Carpet One with a vision of how they wanted their home to look and feel.  As an artist herself, Tia, has impeccable taste with an eye for style and anyone who has the pleasure of visiting their home will agree.

Having lived in Florida, where tile throughout a home is common, Tia and Chuck selected a natural stone look porcelain tile for their main level.  

In the living room, a similar style rug was chosen as to not take away from the beauty and natural flowing feel of the tile floors.  Tia says that often she sees a striation in the tile that seemingly continues onto the rug and vice versa.

Eurasia is the name of this glazed porcelain by Emser Tile.  The warm and cool tones as well as the versatility of the tile takes you from the living room, through the dining room, into the kitchen and right outside to the side patio.

A bold patterned stair runner leads you upstairs to the bedrooms and office.  Gander is the name of this Kane Carpet which was manufactured in Belgium and took a slow boat to get to the states but it was worth the wait once it arrived.

Tia and Chuck opted for a natural cork floor by US Floors in color Salon Dulsa for their second level.  This product is natural, contemporary, and just plain cool.

Thank you for exploring this gorgeously styled home, but it seems that Taittinger is ready for her nap.

 

Stunning Acacia Hardwoods

The Acacia tree is considered the “Tree of Life” in Egyptian mythology.  It is not hard to imagine that these hardwood floors have breathed new life into this home.  The richness of this species of wood that these homeowners chose accents their ornate furniture.  Acacia hardwoods alone makes a gorgeous floor, but take a look for yourself inside this luxurious home.

 

The warm tones of the custom St. Cecilia granite countertop wraps around the length of this large open kitchen.

 

 

The Master Bathroom was also updated with natural looking ceramic tile and travertine accents.  The final paint color is to be determined but wouldn’t you love to soak in here?

This cute soap bunny can’t keep her eyes off this beautiful tile!

Both Vanities received brand new Silestone countertops.

Suwanee Event Space Refresh

Suwanee Station Clubhouse is a beautiful local event space.  This unique building is used for wedding receptions, birthday parties, sports tournaments, and private events.   After fifteen years, it was due for a refresh.  The carpet was dated and the hardwoods were worn from the many years of celebrations from guests coming together.

Take a look inside this spacious venue with their updated floors.

When you walk in the front doors, the entry is bright and inviting.  The classic oak hardwoods were refinished to their glory days.  They welcome you into this unique space.

Sitting room to the left of the entry.

The carpet was updated from a drab gray to a soft and calming green.

Here is a peek into the cozy dining room.

This is my favorite room.  The amount of natural light in this sitting area is lovely.

In the fitness room this floor is worth an extra look.  This an American made Cork and Rubber composite floor.  It is made from recycled materials and the color is customizable!  You can even have your company logo inserted into the design.  Cork and Rubber both absorb impact and are an ideal choice for a fitness room.

This floor is meant to be put to the test.  You can almost feel the burn!

Colormix 2016

Top Floors Carpet One Floor & Home was invited to a special color forecasting event at ADAC in Atlanta, Georgia.  We would love to share with you the color palletes that will be coloring our world for 2016.  And what a beautiful world it is…

PURA VIDA

These colors are coming from health and wellness trends and the need to unplug.  Warm Grays, Blush and Bronze are soft on the eyes.  These are light, soul replenishing colors that can find their way into any home interior when all the chaos of daily life is stripped away.

MÁS AMOR POR FAVOR

Tired of the distant connections cultivated on social media, this color palette is inspired by intimate gatherings and the longing for less formal affairs.  Retro pastels, floral pinks and garden greens are playful and full of life.  Grab a glass of bubbly champagne and let’s toast to MÁS AMOR.

NOUVEAU NARRATIVE

Made in the USA is hip and here to stay.  Urban and rustic towns are seeing an industrial revival in the form of small batches.  Flip the switches to “On” and get the machines warmed up.  This palette yields the determination that this country was built on.  Denim blue, warm woolly browns with brass accents are making their way into homes and workspaces.

TRAJECTORY

It seems like everyday there is a new discovery about the space beyond our world.  We live in an exciting time where cutting edge technology seems to be intertwining with the fantasy world of Science Fiction.  Shimmering metallics, planet purples and iridescent hues are the colors in this palette.  Go ahead and 3D print yourself a new set of plates for that dinner party.  Everyone will be wondering where on Earth you got them!

Fresh Start

This home gets a fresh start after several years of wear and tear.  It was time to get rid of the old deteriorating floors and revitalize this home.  The before and after photographs of this home are night and day.  Take a look for yourself.

Kitchen Update to Sell

When putting a home on the market, renovating is a must.   There is no need to spend a fortune to update the look and feel of your home.  Sheet vinyl is an inexpensive way to take a floor from the 1960’s into the 21st century.  

In the before photos you will see that the busy pattern of a floor can really darken a space and make if feel small.

Kitchen Update – Vinyl

This is not your grandmother’s vinyl.  Budget friendly sheet vinyl has all the texture and visual aspects of a higher priced floor.  Underfoot you can feel the faux grout lines and surface textures which give the illusion of ceramic tile.  The tile pattern and natural variations in color imitate much more expensive products.

Easy Kitchen Upgrade

Trying to update her dated kitchen quickly, a new homeowner selected an effortless and classic look. The process from design to the finish of installation took less than a week to complete.

Before: The original counter top and backsplash were builder grade.

A beautiful granite counter top was installed                                                       and protected for the installation of the brand new backsplash.

The finished counter top is a custom cut from a gorgeous slab of Santa Cecilia granite.

The variegated golden counter top is accentuated by an effortless one inch by one inch tile design. Glass tiles in Tango Tan and Root Beer are a perfect match.
