Small Project, Huge Impact
November 3rd, 2025
Not every renovation has to be a full-scale overhaul. Sometimes, the smallest projects create the most dramatic impact — and tile is one of the easiest ways to achieve it. Whether you’re refreshing a tired fireplace, reimagining your backsplash, or adding personality to your entryway, the right materials can completely redefine how your home feels.
Backsplashes That Shine
Your kitchen is the heart of your home — tile offers endless ways to express your personality. Consider a glass mosaic that catches the light or a honed marble that whispers luxury. Even a few square feet behind a sink or beverage station can change the energy of a room — a small canvas with big visual payoff.
Warm Up to a New Fireplace Surround
Make your fireplace a showpiece! Stone facades and textured porcelain panels instantly add depth, dimension, and warmth. From the timeless elegance of marble to the rustic charm of slate, a tiled surround creates a natural focal point that feels both elevated and inviting.
And yes — tile can be installed over existing brick. With proper prep and the right setting materials, you can transform outdated red brick into a modern masterpiece. (DIY tip: Clean thoroughly, use a strong bonding primer or thinset designed for masonry, and choose a tile that complements your home’s style.)
Entryways, Mudrooms & Powder Rooms
First impressions matter. A bold patterned tile in an entryway adds instant charm, while durable porcelain makes it practical for busy households. In a powder room, a tiled feature wall behind the vanity becomes a conversation starter — a touch of artistry that leaves a lasting impression.
A Gift That Lasts for Years
When you invest in tile, you’re not just enhancing your home — you’re creating something enduring. Each selection, each texture, each pattern becomes part of your story. And that’s the real beauty: a design choice that continues to bring joy, long after the project is complete.
