This remodeling project was a complex, and rewarding endeavors dRemodeling has undertaken — our client had purchased an old rowhouse in South Philadelphia that was in bad shape (note the gaudy, disturbing 1970s color schemes in the ‘before’ photos below) and needed to be completely revamped. The client wanted new bedrooms and a new bathroom on the third floor of the house, but we found that the utilities, framing, and finishes up there were in such bad condition that a complete and thorough rebuilding effort was necessary. We are most proud of the new bathroom — we positioned it directly under a new cathedral ceiling with two new skylight windows. The ceiling was finished with polished hardwood paneling while the walls were tiled with polished mosaic tiles that transition gradually from dark green near the floor to bright white at the ceiling. We installed an ample walk-in shower which collects light from a skylight above and which also contains a floor finished with pebble like tiles. We also installed polished wooden shelving, upon one of which we installed an elegantly-sculpted, modern designer sink. Finally, we also installed an efficient European toilet. One of the project’s most interesting features was our installation of a drip irrigation system and accompanying shelving to grow plants. The irrigation system controls the flow of water to the plants via faucets that allow water to run into a flower pit with an overflow system to keep the water level constant and …

Rail Rockit planter brackets, rockit rings, and rockit hangers

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) January 11, 2012

In early 2008, Trent Van Dyke had no idea, he would be the CEO of a successful company inspired by a “no tools required” planter bracket. Trent, a real estate broker and investor specializing in 1031 exchanges, and Terry Reno, a self-employed engineer and real estate investor were successful. September 2008 changed everything. The housing bubble burst, the economy crashed, and both men were unemployed.

Terry decided to put his background in engineering to work and with inspiration from his wife Nancy, created a planter bracket that would attach to pickets with no tools, clamps, or screws. Originally, Terry created the bracket with the sole purpose of allowing Nancy to hang a planter without causing damage to their newly built deck. Terry soon realized he had a revolutionary product. He showed his invention to his close friend Trent, hoping to benefit from Trent’s vast experience in the corporate world. Both men decided to take the product on the road and quickly found it to be a hit. They came up with the name Rail Rockit in reference to the bracket’s patented “rock it to lock it” design. Trent later convinced Terry to create a full product line behind the concept of a “no tools no damage” philosophy. Blue Ridge Bracket Company and the Rockit brand were born.

From the start, Trent and Terry both agreed on two principle rules. Terry says those were “personal life precedes business, and we have an obligation to our community”. According to both men, money is not the most important motivating factor in their business venture. Trent feels that creating jobs during an economic downturn is not only necessary but rewarding. Blue Ridge Bracket Company has found success in hiring qualified applicants who were previously unemployed due to the recession. With that in mind, BRBC’s goal for 2012 is to “find enough success to continue to participate in the greatest American comeback in history”. With their plan of going international through their redesigned business strategy and website, they may have planted a seed that yields unheralded growth for the new year.

Blue Ridge Bracket Company is based in Asheville, North Carolina and carries products for gardening, birding and seasonal decorating. Blue Ridge Company ships to hundreds of independent garden centers, wild bird stores, and hardware stores across the United States and Canada. For more information on Blue Ridge Bracket Company or their products, please visit http://www.justrockit.com. Contact Trent Van Dyke at (828)242-8577 or by mail at Blue Ridge Bracket Company 40 Wendover Road Asheville, North Carolina 28806.

Estrella Del Mar Golf & Beach Resort

Aurora, CO (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

This weekend, January 27-28, 2012, golfers from Mazatlan and cities around Mexico, the US and Canada, will come together for two rounds of fundraising golf at the Mazatlan Resort of Estrella Del Mar, home to an 18-hole championship golf course designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Junior and rated one of the best golf courses in Mexico.

With the inaugural event in 2006, the Estrella Del Mar Charity Golf Classic has become a permanent fixture on the golfing calendar of many golfers for a number of reasons:

1.    Location and quality: Situated just 10 minutes from the Mazatlan International Airport on the peaceful and secluded Stone Island peninsula, and set alongside 3½ miles of pristine beach, Estrella Del Mar is a premier 816 acre master-planned Mazatlan real estate community and vacation destination. Golfers have the opportunity to play a superb layout offering lush tropical landscaping, breathtaking scenery and with six of the holes & fairways situated right off the beach. Estrella Del Mar Golf Course received the ultimate accolade by hosting the Canadian Tour’s Mexican PGA Championship in May 2011.

2.    “Chance to Win”: While there are trophies for the first three places in each flight, a big attraction is the opportunity to win one of the many prizes on offer for getting Closest to the Pin on any one of the 4 par-three holes. In fact, there are 21 prizes in all, ranging from 20,000 Pesos cash prizes, 3-night stays at Mazatlan hotels and resorts, up to $ 1,000.00 in green fees, plus the chance to win a brand new car for a hole in one on the 13th hole.

3.    Raising money to provide scholarships for kids in Mazatlan: Ultimately however, it is the ability to raise money through entry fees and other donations, and thereby provide scholarships for children in Mazatlan who would otherwise be unable to continue or pursue further education.

Pat Butler, CEO and chairman of Denver-based Club Acquisition Company (CAC) which acts as managing partner of Estrella Del Mar and oversees all aspects of the resort property, development and operations, believes very strongly about giving back to the community. “We are committed to helping our local neighbors, and education is essential to building healthy, thriving communities”, he said. “Our goal is to help as many students as possible to realize their dreams – the first is access to learning”.

There is a formal application process in place in order for a child to become the beneficiary of a scholarship. Kim Anders, Director of Golf at Estrella Del Mar explains: “Children apply to Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) which is a government assistance entity, of which education assistance for the needy falls under their umbrella. Need and size of the scholarship is determined by the education department who then lets us know who the child is and we write the check for the scholarship. We then get regular reports on how they are doing with their studies”.

Over $ 40,000.00 has been raised and donated through the tournament to-date, with $ 13,000.00 alone last year. Says Anders: “We are all so proud to be a part of this wonderful program. We have provided desks and a computer lab for a nearby school, and fixed the roof so the students don’t have to crowd into a corner when it rains. Four years ago an 8-year-old could not read or even attend school because his vision was so bad. We were able to get him some glasses and now he is at the top of his class. He regularly comes to the Resort to visit us and last time he was here he told me he was going to be a doctor so he could come back and help people in his village. That is what makes us do the tournament!”

While over 120 players have already signed up for the event, there is still room for a few more. The entry fee is 3,500 Pesos which covers two days of tournament golf and one practice round, cart, welcome kit, continental breakfast, and dinner at the award ceremony. For more information or to enter, contact Golf Professional and Operations Manager for Estrella Del Mar, Cesar Gamboa through the resort website http://www.estrelladelmar.com.

For those needing accommodation, there is a special rate of $ 95.00 per room plus tax for tournament players at the newest Mazatlan Hotel, Wyndham Las Villas Resort, a 68-room oceanfront luxury hotel within the grounds of Estrella Del Mar and which opened in July, 2010.

We have tried in vane to find tile that matches everything, we have considered a simple black tile also, but I think it will be too overwhelming.
Honest input please=)
We are only going to be here for two more years and then we would like to sell, so I would like public opinion, not just my own.

Thanks
The countertop is not stainless, it is corian, grey with black and white flecks…

Best answer:

Answer by Clare
First, let me say I love that crimson color! I don’t like boring kitchens. We just painted our kitchen walls Granny Smith apple green and LOVE it!

I’d pick the second tile. Subway tile is very popular right now, and the stainless version is perfect!
