Feathering Your Nest: Frugal Kitchen Flooring
|
|
I heart VCT! Vinyl Composition Tile, that is! VCT is a finished flooring material that thusfar is used primarily in commercial and institutional applications. Think schools, hospitals, and churches. But it is a fantastic economical option for residential kitchen flooring. You just have to think outside the box in regards to colors and the design you choose to lay it in. This example required cutting the 12-inch tiles in half, then installing a random pattern of 6 colors. |
Inspiring Design: England’s Cath Kidston
|
Cath Kidston Ltd was founded in 1993 when designer Cath Kidston opened a tiny shop in London’s Holland Park. She began by selling the vintage fabrics, wallpapers, and brightly-painted junk furniture she remembered fondly from her childhood. Her clever, witty re-working of traditional English country house style meant that her shop soon became a cult success. |

Gradually Cath began to design her own prints and products. Her work is typically practical, quirky, and often with a distinctive floral print. Her product lines now include women’s and kids’ fashion and an extensive range of homewares.
