Out of the box floors that will either make you freak, faint or say “fabulous”!

image

An unusual floor to say the least but the calming effect is astounding!

image

Next we go from astounding to “ouch.” This DIY idea is different. Breaking up mirrors then pouring a clear epoxy over them followed up with a buff to finish the effect.

image

This DIY floor is for those looking to bring a unique touch of nature to a small space!

image

This stairway & entry is certainly not for the green DIY weekend warrior. Beautiful, elegant and awe inspiring, this custom flooring is one of my favorite!

image

Last but not least….”a penny for your thoughts?” This polished penny flooring has created quite the buzz!
Do you have a favorite? If so let us know!

Stairway ideas that WOW!!

Stairways!!!
They can be a source of inspiration or decorating frustration. So we thought a few ideas might help turn that source of creative conundrum into a fountain of “I can totally do this!”

First: Does your family have a special saying, quote or scripture that exemplifies your family or home? Why not use those risers to inspire and express it!
image
BEAUTIFUL!!

Second source of inspiration: Rustic is fabulous! Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Its amazing what a touch of reclaimed wood can do to a dead space! And it looks georgeous!
image

Third bit to inspire: Lighting! I know right? Who knew something so obvious could have this much of a Wow effect!
image

Fourth Fantastic idea: Texture or patterned wallpaper. Take the mundane and make it extraordinary. With little expense and a little more effort this idea has impressive results.

image

Last but not least: Creative Combinations. I stumbled upon this beauty months ago on pinterest. Its files in my “Inspirations for the home I will never build.” The idea of combining wood and file is stunning.
