The bathroom needed to be brought back to period appropriate design with all the functionality of a modern bathroom. The Before: Frustrations with a Botched Remodel This immediately told me that improper remodeling had occurred and we needed to remedy that right away. But C&L complained about the condensation problems and the constant fight with mold. We knew we had to banish the hideous brown tile and cheap vanity quickly. Unfortunately, it had been slightly molested by some bad house-flippers, and we needed to bring the bathroom back to it "roots." "Yes, we would be interested in working with you," I said trying to keep my cool.īut what made it even better was meeting C&L and touring their home, because they are the nicest young couple, eager to make their home period perfect. My excitement escalated when I saw the Google Earth Image of the sweet Sage Green bungalow in Mid-Town Stockton. And when C&L called us to help them remodel their 1923 American Bungalow, I was beyond thrilled.Īs per usual, when we get a new inquiry, we quickly Google the project location while we are talking to you on the phone.

We have quite a few of them in our Stockton Mid-Town area. We are going to go over ways to create unique laying patterns, or to continue with the analogy, to start the construction of our custom home.An Arts & Crafts Bungalow is one of my favorite styles of homes.

Now is the time to get your Creative Juices Flowing…

You can think of everything thus far as selecting our canvas/paint in which we are going to construct our masterpiece… or that we have selected the area we want to build our house and poured the foundation. The paver patterns that are requested the most are: However, we will focus on the most popular for this guide. Laying PatternĪs we have seen in the previous steps, there are an overwhelming number of paving patterns that you can select. The next thing to consider is the laying pattern. So you have picked out the texture, style, as well as the style of pavestone. There are others, including special order molds, however, this list includes the most popular styles that are currently being installed on a regular basis. Paving stones can come in a variety of styles which include: This can be accomplished with a contrasting color palette and/or bold solids. If you are interested in making a statement, then you will want to go with a dominant color that will draw immediate attention. If you want your pavers to complement your house, a good rule of thumb is to pull in the roof color and trim color to provide a nice accent.You can do this by making all of your pavers the same color, or by using it as more of a pop of color here and there. The most popular colors are the earth-tones which come in the following colors: The color of the pavestones is important to think of to accent the rest of the features of your outdoor living space and home. There are a variety of textures, which include non-tumbled (smooth), tumbled (weathered), embossed (contains dimples on the surface), tumbled & embossed, slate, and flagstone. Having a visual of the space prior to selecting the stone, will help choose the appropriate stones for your patio. You can determine the area with landscape marking paint, landscape marking flags, 100 ft of measuring tape (best if it is the tape that comes in a reel), or even a garden hose will do. You can think of this area as the canvas that you will be painting on or the foundation that you will be building on. Identify the Area That You Are Going to Be Working With
