Purfect Shower Door MAax Collections Beveled Tiles

Maax Collections has unveiled their new shower door systems, this one; the PurfectKurv dual door shower doors caught my eye. Not only because of the fantastic frameless look, but I am loving the beveled tile surround they are using in the marketing images!

Beveled Black Tiles Diamond pattern

The simple shape of the beveled square tiles are brought to life on a diagonal pattern, and the thick bevel contours on all sides make the finished look much like a tailored quilted leather application. The black only adds to the drama. This is a great lesson in wall tiles; when selecting tiles for a backsplash or wall, you can make a simple field tile seem much more visually appealing how the tiles are installed, simply turning them to a 45 degree angle. It can make a big difference, as in this case.

Wallpaper Lead Black large print floral tudor wallpaper

The Black Lead Floral Tudor Wallpaper by Woodson & Rummerfield's is sumptuous and larger than life in this bold botanic graphic. It engulfs and cocoons this romantic bedroom in such a lovely way. The look could have been too deep and heavy if not smartly paired with crisp white sheets and lamps with playful and thin, gold-trimmed bases.

Alexander McQueen Dress yellow black Drew Barrymore

Check out this little number from the late Alexander McQueen's 2010 Resort collection! The haunting and intricate black webbing overlay on the buttery yellow dress is divine. The emphasis on symmetry is very flattering on a petite physique. Do you recognize it? It is also the same dress worn by Drew Barrymore for the Toronto premiere of Whip-It. So if you are like Drew, and have a daring sense of personal style, how do you dress your home?

moulding applied

Wall Panels are a beautiful way to add visual interest to a room, and you would be surprised how simple it is to achieve! The image above is an applied moulding stained to match the wood veneer on the walls, much like a burlap moulding like this one:

This particular moulding is #00967 burlap moulding by Alexandria Moulding.

This gorgeous panel moulding looks more difficult, but just requires a 1" x 4" board flanked by a base cap moulding. What ties it all together is the painted finish.

The mouldings used here are #CR688 Base Cap, and #03186 Board.

So go for it, you don't even need to have the panels all the same size. A large bottom panel and large top panel (above a chair rail) works well, just be sure the top and respective lower panel have the same widths. For panel sizes, look at the proportion of your walls and consider framing a large piece of artwork and flanking it with narrow panels for example. Applied Panelling done well is timeless.
