Condo Reno’s Simplified

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

I was involved with a condo reno recently helping the owners update their 60′s style condo with a new fresh contemporary look.  The project was the addition of a fireplace feature and large screen TV to add warmth and ambiance to the living room. The owners had taken their flat living room wall and added a painted build-out to house the TV and a fire feature.

The addition of SlateFlex #400 Colour Mix in a large 35 x 94″ size applied horizontally gives a contemporary look while maintaining the earthy, textured look they were looking for. The unique feature of this flexible slate veneer is that 70 sq.ft of real stone was easily hand carried up the elevator and weighted only about 35lbs.  The result… well the photos speak for themselves.

IDS 2012

I had a chance to visit IDS 2012 this past weekend. I’m usually too busy manning the Surface Innovation booth, which we didn’t do this year…too busy and too many new projects underway. Lots of amazing products and ideas.
