Subway tiles don't have to be white or installed in a typical horizontal stagger. Try these ceramic subway tiles with glass overlay for shimmer and consider herringbone pattern for a new look. This looks great on our client's kitchen wall.

School of Fish

Plates come in all shapes and sizes, but who says you have to use them in conventional ways? These highlight an entire wall to add color and whimsy.

Cool Bar Faucet

Have a wet bar in your house? Personalize your space with a unique faucet like this one with an olive handle and a contemporary flair. Just remember to match it to your surroundings, this faucet would not look right in a traditional bar where you may want to try ceramic handles or copper. Like this exact one? Google Martini Bar Faucets and search for the best price. Don't be surprised, this is a splurge!

Built In Shelving

When creating a built in shelving unit, think about the size of each cubby. Whether hiring a contractor or doing it yourself, it is good to sketch out and consider what will go in each opening. Also consider the reveal. This one is thick enough to hide lighting without showing bulbs or cords.

School House

Make your own art. It is easy to get your photos framed or even pick your own matte and frame at any craft store. Take a camera with you and you might find a nice shot like this schoolhouse. For another inexpensive solution, consider old calendars that you like, cut out and framed.

Art Gallery

Grouping your art in sets can be not only visually appealing, but also help to cover a large wall. Be careful to spend extra time measuring and leveling if you are going with a symmetrical look such as this one. If you do a collage look, you have a little more margin of error that will not be noticeable to guests.

Poster Calendar

Turn your calendar into art with a monthly poster and frame. This one is Kate and Libby, but there are many out there when you google poster calendar. You can also go to Art for Everyday's site to get posters and reusable frames.

Favorite Plates

Found a favorite plate? Buy in sets and create a wall of art that is beautiful and inexpensive. Plate hangers can be found at most variety stores or hardware stores.

Quartz Appeal

When selecting a new countertop there are many choices out there. Remember that while Carrara Marble is beautiful, you also must maintain it to keep its beauty. Quartz is more durable and you can get a pattern that makes a statement. Consider something like this for an island in a kitchen or a long vanity in your master bath.

Candle

Everyday candle holders can be updated for each season and holiday by just changing out the fillers. However, fillers can get costly so consider candies like conversation hearts for valentines or jelly beans in the Spring.
