Bob enters the Rowley Victorian through the new Pella French doors into the Mashers' remodeled mudroom. It has a new closet with solid-core, cherry-veneer Woodport doors, tile floors, and a taupe finish on the walls. The remodeled bath has hand-made Trikeenan field and decorative tiles that complement the monochromatic color theme throughout. Roman shades from Smith & Noble provide privacy and accent colors for the new space.

Bob meets with Roger who is installing floor tiles over a mortar bed in the bathroom.

The Porcelanosa oversized tiles are fully installed in the main living space of the Punta Gorda home. Bob looks at the color and the finish, which are unusual in a Florida home, but very soothing. The metallic-look tiles are darker than the light walls and bright light that flood the space, absorbing the brightness and calming and cooling the space.
