We wanted to start last fall. We kept putting it off. Now we are behind everyone else who put it off too.»

Contractor availability is tightest in spring and early summer. Cabinet lead times are 8–12 weeks. Custom tile orders can run longer.

If you want your kitchen or bathroom finished before next summer — before the gathering season, before another round of «we’ll do it next year» — October is when the plan starts.

The showroom has more time for you right now than it will in March. We can go deeper into material options, take more time on the design direction, and start the process without competing with twelve other projects.

Free consult. No commitment.

The surface is not just a finish. It’s a decision about how you live in the room.

Stainless steel
The professional choice. Hygienic, indestructible, every scratch becomes part of the surface rather than damage to it. The tradeoff: cold to the touch, loud when you cook, and it shows every water spot and fingerprint until you stop caring — which most people do, eventually.

Wood
The warmest kitchen you can build. Tactile, repairable, ages with the house. Sand it, oil it, it looks new. The honest downside: water is the enemy. Spills next to the sink need attention immediately. Not the material for someone who leaves dishes soaking.

Concrete + stone
Architectural weight that no other material replicates. Completely unique surface every time. But concrete needs sealing before the first use — stain it before that and it’s permanent. Heavy, cold underfoot, and unforgiving of mistakes in the installation.

Marble + white
Nothing photographs like it. Nothing ages with more elegance if you accept what it is: a living surface. Acids etch it — lemon, w**e, vinegar. That’s not a defect, it’s the material. The people who love marble understand this. The people who don’t should choose quartzite.

The bathroom floor is one of the last things most people choose and one of the first things that determines whether the space works.

Most decisions happen under pressure — contractor waiting, budget tightening, someone shows you something that photographs well. But bathroom tile is a material that holds light, reflects the rest of the space, and ages with the room.

1. Scale relative to the room — a 60×120cm tile in a 4m² bathroom reads completely differently from a 10cm mosaic. Neither is wrong. They produce different rooms.

2. Surface finish — polished, honed, or textured. Each reads differently underfoot, shows different things in low light, and has a different maintenance reality.

3. Grout width and color — matching grout reads as one surface. Contrasting grout articulates every tile. Both age differently over time.

4. Laying direction — in a narrow bathroom, running tile along the length of the room extends the visual depth. It is one of the details that costs nothing and changes everything.

The floor sets the tone for everything else in the room. Not the paint. Not the furniture. The floor.
Here’s what each tone actually does to a space:
Light oak (white oak, blonde, Nordic tones)
Opens the room. Makes ceilings feel higher. Works with almost any palette — cool whites, warm greiges, natural linen. The most forgiving choice if you’re unsure.
Warm honey oak
Adds instant character. That golden afternoon light feeling, even at 8am. Pairs with leather, terracotta, aged brass. The one that makes a house feel like a home.
Dark walnut
Grounds everything. Makes light furniture pop. Creates contrast that feels intentional and designed. Not for small spaces — unless you want drama on purpose.
There’s no wrong answer. There’s only the tone that matches how you want the space to feel.
All three species on display at the showroom. Come walk on them before you decide.

Pale Oak (Benjamin Moore HC-88) is the color we keep recommending for Eastside homes going into fall. There is a reason.
It does not compete with stone. It amplifies it. Warm enough to feel like afternoon sun — cool enough to stay out of the room’s way.
The four pairings we keep returning to:
— With Calacatta marble: the warmth pulls out the gold veining without adding another colour to manage.
— With Zellige tile: every glaze variation reads differently in this warmth.
— With dark travertine: the contrast does the work.
— With honed Nero Marquina: the cleanest possible look in the room.
One note on undertones: Pale Oak reads noticeably pink in north-facing rooms with low natural light. Pull a large sample and view it next to your actual stone before committing.
Paint codes in the last slide.

The outdoor kitchen trend is not going anywhere. But the materials most people put in outdoor kitchens often are — typically after the first winter.

The Pacific Northwest is wet, cold, and freezing in cycles. That combination destroys sealed indoor stone, polished porcelain without frost ratings, and unsealed limestone faster than anything.

What actually holds up:
— Full-body porcelain with frost resistance rating: absorbs nothing, handles freeze-thaw.
— Quartzite, sealed: naturally dense, non-porous, weathers well with maintenance.
— Granite, sealed: handles UV and temperature better than marble.

What does not:
— Marble outdoors: etches in rain, stains in fall, cracks under freeze-thaw cycling.
— Unsealed travertine: beautiful until it absorbs moisture and expands.

Summer’s here. Plan before September.

Most people walk in with a screenshot and leave with a material they hadn’t considered.

Not because we talked them into anything. Because screens show you what a material looks like photographed well. The showroom shows you what it looks like next to your flooring sample, in real window light, at the scale you’re actually going to use it.

The first visit is usually thirty minutes. No commitment, no pressure, no pitch. Just materials in real context and someone who can answer the questions you’ve been Googling for weeks.

Book before the weekend.

The countertop is one of the most expensive surfaces in a kitchen. It is also one of the most personal. The wrong material for your life looks right in photos and creates friction every day.

These five questions take about fifteen minutes to think through — and they tend to reveal more than three hours of Pinterest research.

1. How do you actually cook? (Not how you wish you cooked.)
2. What light comes into this kitchen?
3. What is already committed — floors, cabinets, hardware?
4. What does daily maintenance look like for you, honestly?
5. Are you optimizing for timeless or for now?

The answers determine whether marble, quartz, quartzite, porcelain, or something else entirely is the right answer for your specific kitchen. Not somebody else’s kitchen. Yours.

The kitchen gets all the stone. The living room gets paint.

Here’s what happens when you change that.

— Verde Patagonia fireplace. Not subtle. Not apologizing.
— Calacatta feature wall. One slab. The whole room.
— Travertine floor. Warm, tactile, connects every space.
— Nero Marquina coffee table. The piece everyone touches first.

All of these stones are at the showroom.
