Lunada's Favorites!

Lunada has recently installed El Dorado Stone Veneer at a job site and couldn't be happier with the results.  It's lighter, thinner and cheaper than real stone and can be installed in any location.  There is also much less waste than natural stone, contributes to the thermal mass of walls (green!), contains recycled content (green!) and comes in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes which helps with achieving a natural and varied look. You will not believe your eyes when you see and feel this stone veneer.!

Installation at a job to be completed 12/10!!

Concept for a new client's shower wall, instead small openings for candles, create larger and longer niches for bath products! So versatile!

Lunada's Favorites

This time around, Lunada's favorite pick is David Goldberg Wall coverings!!!  The wall coverings are products of mixed media treatments utilizing glass, plaster, sand, metal, perforated, etched, and tinted frescoes.  These beautiful products can be used in a variety of design aesthetics from the traditional to eclectic to modern.  This isn't your Grandmother's wallpaper.

Wallpaper doesn't have to be scary.  Lunada thinks that it has gotten a bad reputation over the years, but now it can be an affordable way to transform any space without the mess of paint and the commitment of custom wall treatments.  For more ideas on transforming your space, visit our website to set up a consultation: www.lunadaconsulting.com

Lunada's favorite pick this time around are Terra Cotta Tiles. They are beautifully rustic without being over the top.  Tile manufacturers are also playing with glazes, stains and etchings to update the earthy feeling that is synonymous with terra cotta.  I'm actually working right now to find the perfect terra cotta tiles for a backs splash in a Lunada project.  Here are some inspirational images of these great tiles that are making a big comeback.

Ann Sacks Cotto Antiqua Line

 Here is a Lunada project that utilized terra cotta tiles on the floor and back splash.  The back splash was actually a custom design that took a smaller tile design and blew it up to make a mosaic design comprised of 4 tiles.

Lunada Trend Alert!

My roomate always teases me whenever we pass by objects in the stores that look like raw or untreated wood.  She says that is all I like, and well--I do, but she doesn't know me that well!  Personal stories aside, there is a trend that has seemed to be gathering speed over the past year or so, and that is using plywood, peg boards, etc. as wall coverings.  I think that it is a great application that is unexpected and above all...cheap!  Take a look at some of these images, maybe a few will inspire you.  This is a great idea for apartment dwellers who feel like they can never to anything to their walls without paying the price when they move out.

Off The Wall - Take 2!

So, for some of our new readers, you may not remember the original Off The Wall.  No, not your old Michael Jackson record, Lunada's blog about 3D wall treatments and tiles.  (In case you need a refresher follow this link Off The Wall)  Well, I was just on one of my favorite design blogs, Design*Sponge and saw these fun tiles! Fish scales, stacked stones, shingles, oh my!

Unlike many of the products that I already covered, these are actually concrete tiles!  They are manufactured by a company called Portland Cement Co. and come in a wide variety of colors and shapes. Check out their website to find vendors and have some fun!

Lunada's new favorite product is a line of glass tiles by Italian company Evit. It seems that there is always a need for new product and this seems to satisfy the glass tile niche by offering these two great variations on bubbles. They can either go ultra modern or playful and fun depending on the color choice and they add a level of dimensionality. Interested in dimensional tiles? Check out Lunada's blog on 3D tiles!





Lunada loves to use glass tiles so check out our website to see some great examples: www.lunadaconsulting.com

Off The Wall

What became very trendy a few years ago has seemed to stick within the design community, 3D wall treatments. The trend has trickled down from the extremely high end and commercial design into the residential design realm and frankly, people are eating it up. Now the first thing that may pop into your mind would be woven walls; we've seen it with 3Form and other various resins, wood veneers and metals. 3D wall treatments may come in the form of extremely expensive custom formed tiles to the very affordable MIO or Inhabit wall tiles. People are using decals, abstract forms, found objects, anything and hanging it on their walls. I think one of the most exciting mediums that continually surprises me is ceramic tile. Companies like Ann Sacks and Artistic Tile I think have beautiful products that are appealing to residential clients across the design spectrum; from retro to modern to traditional there is a product out there for every client.
