Dream Bath Contest Winners

Anne & Jason from White Bear Lake, MN, are our 1st PLACE WINNERS who received a $25,000.00 complete bathroom makeover.

Anne wrote in about her loving husband who is a White Bear Lake Fire Fighter and EMT. She is giving him the bathroom he deserves to unwind and relax in after long days and nights as a first responder.

Below are the photos of the bath that Anne Submitted - as you can see the turquoise toilet and tub are in desperate need of a update!

Brian & Alexa from Crystal, MN are our 3rd PLACE WINNERS who received 45% off their entire tile project.
 
 
-How did you get involved in this DIY project?

"I had recently bought a home in foreclosure and I had to do a lot of updating. My bathroom was next on the 'To Do List'. I heard about the Tile Shop's win a new bathroom contest for Valentines day, so I decided to enter it. I ended up taking third place and that jump started my bathroom renovation."

-How did The Tile Shop help make this project possible?

The tile shop helped me out by giving me a very deep discount on the tile I bought for taking third place in the contest. I want to stress that the tile shop not only helped me financially with the bathroom renovation, but also with their staff's expert knowledge with design and installation. They guided me through the design including: color schemes, tile size, textures, and materials. If I had a question about the installation, I called the tile shop and any one of their staff could answer my questions.

-What was the tiling experience like?

It was tough, but extremely rewarding. To look at your bathroom and say I did all of this is a pretty amazing feeling.

-Are you and Alexa happy with the finished bathroom?

We are completely thrilled about the new bathroom. We am proud of it, we love the look of it, and we think that it couldn't have turned out better.

-What do you like most about the after bathroom?

I think my favorite part of the bathroom are the Bridgeport glass tiles along with the trim pieces we installed. They give the bathroom the color and the look we were going for. Contemporary yet vintage... Does that even make sense? Either way it looks really cool.

A Formula For Splendor : Creating Your Luxury Space At Any Budget

by The Tile Shop 23. March 2009 10:54

Your home is your sanctuary. Your most valuable and treasured investment. You want a space that highlights your individuality while resonating with timeless elegance and dazzling luxury. And you want it without a second mortgage.

Achieving affordable luxury is attainable on any level with the Tile Shop. Providing impressive tiling options, subtle accents and dramatic impact items to suit any desire – and any budget – the Tile Shop can help you attain your level of luxury, all without breaking the bank.

Discover Your Creativity  

Affordable luxury is nestled in creativity. For homeowners seeking the envy of their neighbors and applause from their guests, dazzling luxury begins by fusing the entire home with elegance, style and your own distinct expression. 

Igniting your creativity can start by blending classic elements with the latest trends, bringing together a cohesive design scheme throughout the entire home. Implementing a striking mosaic bathroom floor with bold, contemporary colors for example, can emphasize a classic claw foot tub, showcasing the entire room in timeless luxury. 

The timelessness of Mother Nature fuels imagination as well, so take full creative license with the natural shapes, textures and patterns that make each tile at the Tile Shop luxuriously unique. Mixing earthy, rough stone tiles with sleek ceramic, shimmering glass and contemporary metal pieces break conventional design methods and add a dynamic, affordable dimension to your individual sense of style and luxury.

At the Tile Shop we’ll guide your aspirations toward any luxury project, and bring intuitive direction and exceptional expertise to inspire your creativity. Our aesthetic guidance, technical advice, free DIY classes and complete tools and supplies help you create a luxurious home that reflects your inspiration, originality and spectacular sense of style.

Sensationally Subtle Accents

Implementing subtle design elements and elegant accent pieces affordably enhances the classic appeal and luxury of your home. Keeping a keen eye on the remarkable details of each unique tile, and the existing décor within your home, provides opportunity for harmoniously interweaving blends of stone listellos and hand-carved shelving to embellish sleek shower walls, or delicate architectural edging and profiles to enhance classic kitchen counters.

Subtle fixtures such as switch plates, soap dishes and other luxurious accents provide affordable options for establishing luxury in the home as well. The uniqueness of one sophisticated fixture, or a combination of textures, styles and materials, provide endless opportunities for creative expression and achieving ultimate luxury.

High Impact Wow Pieces

The capstone of affordable luxury is a dynamite conversation piece that simply says extraordinary. Solitary, high impact pieces provide flexibility with your budget, and implementing even one dramatic element creates luxurious, striking appeal while unifying your existing décor.

Impressive impact items, such as a sleek onyx basin atop a brilliantly textured brushed marble countertop, or an exquisite tub, hand-carved from exotic travertine collected from the farthest steps of the globe, make powerful, luxurious statements in your home. Whether it’s a rustic stone farm sink anchoring a spectacular kitchen, or an intricate porcelain mosaic meeting your guests with elegant grandeur in the living room, wow pieces create a direct impact and inspire absolute awe in your home.

Explore The Depths of Luxury

With virtually limitless possibilities, the formula for luxury is you. Your sense of style and your innovative blend of elegance and impact. Inspired by the uniqueness of all natural products and innovative design schemes, the Tile Shop helps you create timeless luxury and enduring elegance by reflecting your individual creativity with spectacular tiles, subtle accents and outstanding wow pieces, all while keeping your budget in line.

Economic Alternatives to Granite Slab Countertops

by The Tile Shop 10. November 2008 03:04

Granite is a standard for luxury and durability, great for kitchen countertops,

a bathroom vanity, or a washroom workspace. Granite is an excellent

counter option.

Granite is the most durable of the Natural Stones carried at The Tile Shop.

It comes in a variety of sizes, colors, and textures. While all of these tiles can

be used in various creative applications the most common way to use them is

on a countertop. While most consumers may think the only way to enjoy a

granite countertop is by contacting a slab fabricator this simply isn’t true.

 

The Tile Shop carries an easy-to-do-it-yourself Granite Countertop System.

The system contains oversized tiles made specifically to fit a countertop with

various edging pieces to match any personal style. This is a unique and cost

effective option in comparison to granite slabs.

 

  Tile installation specialists at any Tile Shop location can help teach you to install

you own granite countertop with this economical system, or if you are outside

of The Tile Shop’s market visit the DIY section on www.tileshop.com and watch the

do-it-yourself videos or download pdf's all about the installation process.

Recycled Glass Mosaics

by The Tile Shop 20. October 2008 03:36

Building a home with green or environmentally friendly products is becoming the norm. 

While it may seem like a recent trend, it is one we at The Tile Shop hope sticks.

Our international purchasers and engineers are constantly looking to increase our stock of earth 
friendly products. The newest additions to our green products are mosaic glass tiles. Old glass bottles, 
windows, windshields, and many other colorless recycled glass mediums are ground down, combined 
with bight colored pigments, and various opalescent hues to create glass mosaics tiles.
 
At The Tile Shop glass mosaics come in different Collections, varying by style. The Cosmopolitan 
collection features shades of bight red, and urban midnights in unique shapes and sheens. The most 
popular of these being Metro Glass, the black and silver opalescent will compliment any modern space.
A more traditional look try our Oceanaire Glass Collection. This collection contains popular neutrals
greens, and bluesCopper Mix Glass compliments almost any natural stone, containing a slight shimmer 
and colors ranging from tan to dark brown. I recommend this recycled glass tile with 
Jinshan Bone Travertine; the light tan of the stone will pop the tones in Copper Mix Glass.
 
If the cost of installation scares you, visit The Tile Shops DIY Section and download the detailed Mosaic 
Installation pdf and save big on professional installation costs by doing-it-yourself. We believe with a bit 
of reading and faith in your abilities, anyone can install tile. If you get stumped or have a question, we 
have got your covered - email customercare@tileshop.com and you will either get an email or phone 
call answer before the days end.
 
One of The Tile Shop’s goals is to increasingly offer environmentally friendly products that are unique, 
stylish, and sold at direct importer pricing. We believe that glass mosaics tiles meet these requirements 
perfectly and will look great in your home. If you want to show off how great they look email us photos 
of your installation and we will share them with our readers.
