For a look that combines classic
sophistication with dramatic dark colors and
textures, pair a Great Lakes stone veneer
feature wall in Carbon with a rich Kapalua
floor. The stone veneer, which can be used
for both interior or exterior applications,
brings a touch of nature into the space.
We chose furniture and lighting in brushed
metallics and glass for a subtle touch of bling
that brightens up the dark finishes of the wall
and floor.

For a modern family room with plenty of visual interest, we took inspiration from
a beautiful custom built-in bookcase that features New Castle door fronts paired
with traditional moldings. Finished in a bold blue with gold details and accessories,
this bookcase becomes the showpiece of the space. A Peninsula Ledgestone stone
veneer in Cyprus creates the perfect feature wall, adding texture and interest without
competing with the bold bookcase. To finish the space, choose furniture and lighting
with luxurious finishes in gold and crystal for an elegant look.

Traditional basement plumbing solutions
involve breaking and hauling away the
concrete to install drain lines and a storage
tank with a sewage ejector. In addition to
the expense, these systems require space
for a tank and can be prone to leaking
and unpleasant odors. Using a SANIFLO
above-floor plumbing system, you won't
have these problems. SANIFLO systems,
including macerating toilets and drain-water
pumps, can be installed directly on top of
any finished floor surface and can pump
effluent and waste water upwards, up to
25 feet vertically. These systems are clean,
quiet and reliable so there are no leaks or
odors, making them a perfect choice for
adding a bathroom or laundry room to
your basement.
