The laundry room in most homes is a crowded place that serves multiple purposes; it may also be a mud room, a utility room, or maybe it's not a room at all and is just a closet. When laundry space is less than ideal, homeowners start to avoid that area and take their clothes elsewhere throughout the house for ironing and folding. The result - piles of clothes lying around the home creating clutter and messes. Modern storage solutions are revolutionizing the laundry room. With extensive cupboard space and adequate countertops, washing, drying, ironing, and folding can become efficient and contained into one space. Take a look at what we have done in the Temperance home; it's not your typical laundry room!

Fact or Fiction: All Natural Stone Tile is Expensive
FICTION.
Natural stone tile has developed a stigma for being very expensive. The fact is that like porcelain, natural stone tile can be found at various price points, colours, cuts, and styles. Instead of focusing on price, decide on what qualities and characteristics you like in a tile and make your decision based on that. From there you can look at what tiles will give you the look you want for a price that fits your budget.
