How to Tile a Vanity

How to Tile a Vanity

 A tiled vanity top isn't reserved for a luxe lifestyle. Get this artisanal look in your home with our instructions.

 

A tiled vanity gives your bathroom a designer look without completely redesigning the whole room. If you plan to tile a bathroom wall, tiling the vanity will make the vanity and sink an integral part of the space.

Even if your existing base cabinet is in good condition, you'll have to build up the top. Commercial vanity countertops are made to handle less weight. Remove the top and add bracing, a 3/4-inch plywood base, and polyethylene waterproofing membrane.

Buy the tile for all the surfaces you'll be tiling — vanity tile, wall tile, and bullnose trim. That way you can be more certain of getting tiles of a consistent color throughout the entire project. Make sure the cartons have the same lot number.

Select the right tile to use on your vanity. Use glazed tile 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. Purchase a sink whose texture matches the glaze — vitreous china and enameled cast iron are good choices. Self-rimming sinks are easy to install, and the rim will cover the rough edges of the cut tile.

Making Time and Space for Hobbies

Making Time and Space for Hobbies

 

Hobbies and leisure-time activities are your reward for working hard. Hobbies provide an outlet for creativity and a relaxing escape from the everyday, work-a-day world. In a busy family, hobbies can take many forms and end up commanding considerable space.

Finding dedicated hobby space in the home can be challenging, especially if the hobbies require both work and storage space. Why not look to the garage as a candidate for “hobby central?” With organization and planning you’ll be able to design the perfect hobby area for one or more pursuits.

 - PremierTrax garage floor tiles can withstand the toughest vehicle traffic, even in a hanger. Your PremierTrax garage floor would be beautiful and serviceable for years, adding value and convenience to your home.

Create the Man Cave of His Dreams

Create the Man Cave of His Dreams

 A Custom Garage Cabinet Design Makes Your Garage More Functional - Garages are historically over-crowded and under-used. With planned storage and organization, your garage will become valuable living space. Customize with color and accessories to create your ideal garage.

What type of Man Cave would best suit your man?

• A sports center with home gym or weight bench surrounded by game and sports paraphernalia like trophies and team memorabilia?
• A workbench with a spacious countertop and easily accessible tools for handyman tasks, DIY projects and hobbies?
• A media center with big screen TV, recliner, DVD player, internet and snack bar?
• A game space with a putting green, pool table, poker table or arcade games?
• A showplace for custom or vintage cars or motorcycles?
•  
  A Man Cave will be as unique as the man that inhabits it. As a place for a man to enjoy his own pursuits, a Man Cave could have one theme or several combined. Bottom line…he’ll want his own things about him and probably a recliner or two. A combination of garage cabinets, Gridwall racks (steel grids) or Slatwall (PVC panels), overhead storage and garage shelving will get your garage under control and free up the space to build that ideal Man Cave. Add a custom garage floor as the finishing touch and he can move right in!
• For the sports enthusiast, Gridwall or Slatwall systems provide wall storage with specialty hooks for large items like bikes, skis, skateboards and golf bags. Accessory baskets and shelves hold smaller items such as balls, helmets and shoes. Garage cabinets and shelves create the perfect place for storing and displaying collectibles and trophies to inspire him as he works out. 
• For the handyman needing a place to work with his hands, upper and lower cabinets with an integrated countertop,lights and adjustable racks above the workspace will keep tools organized and easy to find for any home improvement project or hobby. He’ll have the luxury of leaving any unfinished projects out until he returns, or they can be hidden behind closed doors. 
• A garage entertainment center could be an element in any Man Cave. Along with movies and sports viewing, a TV is good company when working out, enjoying a hobby, reading or just relaxing. Custom garage cabinets could house the TV, DVD player, movies, books, magazines, a private stash of favorite snacks and maybe even a popcorn popper. Add a recliner and seating for friends, and the Man Cave is complete. 
• A gaming area such as a putting green or pool table would definitely require that the rest of the garage was maximized for storage space. A wall or two of garage cabinets and wall storage systems will provide the storage space for everything else in the garage and free up enough space for indoor play. PremierTrax flexible flooring tiles can color code the different usage areas in the garage to ensure no trespassing.

Natural Beauty

Granite is useful for all kinds of applications, including kitchen counter tops and islands, bath vanity tops, backsplashes, sinks or basins, fireplace mantles, decorative medallions (mosaics) and flooring. If you love the look of granite for a garage floor but can’t justify the expense of the real thing, a PremierOne Stone garage floor coating can give you the same look at much less cost. A sister product to PremierOne Decorative Texture, PremierOne Stone is created with 1/4” chips to produce the textured, natural stone appearance of granite in six trending colors for your garage floor.

Be Professional

If you work from home, you know the value of a functional, custom home office.  It’s difficult to
accomplish very much with just a laptop on the dining room table or a desk stuck in the corner of the bedroom. A built in home office has sufficient work space, ergonomic furniture, storage for all your business needs and, as its name implies, all the comforts of home!
Whether you conduct company business from your home office or just manage the household bills and chat online, your home office design should be inviting and efficient for whatever you do. A Tailored Living designer will ask all the right questions to create a custom home office design that will meet all your needs:

• Who will be using the home office?
• How many work stations will be needed?
• What kind of work will be done?
• What equipment must be accommodated?
• What are specific storage needs?
• Is the space used for anything else?

It could be a whole room, shared space as a guest room, or just a nook in the kitchen, but with thoughtful design your home office can accommodate storage, multiple users and all the equipment you need. Custom home office cabinets, shelving, drawers, bins and desktops will keep you organized, hide the mess, make you more efficient and be a beautiful addition to your home.

Make the Best Use of Your Garage

Garage storage and organizational solutions from Tailored Living will make it easier for your family to stay organized and make the best use of personal and shared space.

How to winterize your garage

Tailored Living® knows all about garages and that in the wintertime when days are shorter, nights are longer, temperatures plummet, and rain, snow, sleet and hail come down, an unprepared garage can sometimes become a liability. It’s too cold and dark, things are disorganized and cluttered and…when did that family of raccoons move in?

Take time now to get your garage ready for the challenges of winter and your efforts will pay dividends over the next few months! With preparation and organization, including custom garage cabinets, PremierOne® flooring and custom accessories, your garage will perform as user-friendly, functional living space, making life easier for you and your family.

Use Overhead Space Wisely

The garage ceiling is a great spot for hanging long, flat stuff you don't use every day, such as ladders and seasonal sports gear. Make sure that any shelves you hang from the ceiling don't interfere with your garage door's operation and that there is enough clearance to avoid scraping the roof of your car.

Clearing The Toy Clutter

It's easy to control clutter if you remember that the four walls of your garage are actually four more floors. With the right shelves and hooks, you can actually quadruple your storage space.

Sterilite makes a collection of some of the sturdiest plastic storage products available. One of them is a shelving unit that can be assembled in about 30 seconds; each shelf will hold 50 pounds. It only costs about $30.

Storage totes are great because they hold everything and they keep it all dry. If you have kids or pets, though, drill a hole in the tote. If the kids are goofing around and get stuck inside, that hole will be a very good thing.

Going Green in the Garage

Instead of shopping for a bunch of bins and boxes, create storage out of things you already have. It's the green way to store stuff.

Old jars get a new purpose as storage for screws, nails and other small items. Use a screw or two to attach the top of the jar to the underside of a shelf. Fill the jar with whatever, and screw the jar onto its top.

Pegboards are another storage classic. They're great because you can see everything; the tools aren't lost in a drawer somewhere. If you want, you can draw the outline of the tools on the pegboard; that way, you can tell at a glance if one is missing and could be in use building a tree fort.

A metal bow rake that's lost its handle can gain a new life in the garage. Remove most of the handle, drill a pilot hole through the remainder and screw it to the wall. It's perfect for hanging your garden tools.

Tips for Organizing a Garage

If your car is out on the street because there's no room for it in the garage, it's time to get organized. Here are some tips and tools to make it happen. Safety First: Learn the best ways to store that hazardous stuff we all keep in the garage: the chemicals, the paint cans and pesticides.

Chemicals are the No. 1 danger. A lot of people keep pesticides, paints and auto fluids, often in old food containers, which can leak and cause fumes, burns, respiratory problems and fire hazards. Always store such substances in their original containers and out of reach of children, on a high shelf or in a locked cabinet. Chemicals that are poisonous to pets are a huge problem. Road salt and ice-melt mixtures can get on the paws of cats and dogs and cause diarrhea and vomiting. Antifreeze, in particular, is highly dangerous and can be fatal. It has a sweet smell that attracts pets; as little as 1 tablespoon can kill a cat; half a cup can kill a dog. Be sure to wipe up any spills immediately, and keep antifreeze out of reach for children, too.

Hardware

PremierGarage provides multiple options for your Door Pulls.

• Standard 5 ½” metal black arch pulls with a powder-coated matte finish (also available in bronze and satin nickel finish)
• Large rod style hand pulls available in satin nickel or high grade stainless steel finishes.  Various sizes available.
• Aluminum extruded hand pulls.  This unique hand pull can be tailored to your specifications.

Show below in curved, arch black, and stainless straight pull.

   

My Ford Garage

We are proud to introduce the new line of Ford storage products. Fully customizable case goods for the garage, home office, game room, showroom or automotive dealership. With the Ford owner in mind, this collection brings functionality, organization and quality to the garage space that reflects the true spirit and passion of the Ford Motor Company.

Make your garage the envy of all your neighbors with the new "My Ford Garage" cabinet line. Offered in 3 different configurations:

Image Box Cabinets

All graphic images are printed on the highest quality archival paper, laminated for rigidity and given a stunning satin finish.

Pre-Drilled 'Threaded Inserts' are set into the cabinet doors. The images & threads are computer precise to match perfectly, every time.

Fasten Down the stainless pucks to secure the print. Easily remove & change at any time!

3/4" Thick Doors Give the Cabinet a FORD TOUGH Look and Feel. Customize Cabinet Accessories and Hardware to Match Your Car and Your Space!

3D Laminate Cabinets

Our process permanently embeds Ford logos and racing stripes underneath the cabinet foil giving it a 3D appearance when viewing from almost any angle. The embedded logos and racing stripes cannot be removed after manufacturing.

Ford embossed logos are computer routed from 1/8" MDF board. They are then set under the foil before manufacturing. After foil is vacuumed and heat pressed, you are left with a one of a kind cabinet.

Logo sizes range from 40" to over 10' wide. Work with us today to achieve the perfect look.

DIY Cabinets

Our DIY line gives you the ability to pick from hundreds of pre configured design options.

The DIY uses cam-lock construction allowing anyone to assemble their new cabinets with ease.

Our experienced designers will meet with you in your garage to determine what space you have to work with, the items you have to store, the parking requirements of your vehicles, and your personal design preferences.

Activity Organizers

Three distinct products. Slatwall (top left), also shown in different colors (top right), Gridwall (bottom left), and the Organizer (bottom right).

The slatwall is a multi-level system that can be used in the garage or inside the home. The gridwall system and organizers are the perfect way to show off your garage tools, sports equipment, or other supplies while keeping them organized and secure in place.

       

Top 4 Ways to Organize and Enhance Your Garage:

1. Determine the best garage layout. You can utilize a combination of cabinets, shelving, activity organizers and overhead storage racks. The goal is to have a versatile garage organization and storage system that can change with your needs. Remember to keep your kids’ items within their easy reach. Make sure to use cabinets specifically built for the garage with extra strength features like 1-inch thick shelves, fully adjustable shelves and mounted off the floor which eliminates pest filtration as well as potential for water and mold damage. Make sure to incorporate all your needs with the storage system such as shoe storage, wardrobe cabinet for jackets & coats, soft goods storage such as paper towels & toilet paper, sodas/water, etc. 
   
   
2. Now that you're organized, and because it is more than "just a garage," PremierGarage can install a Premier NX state-of-the-art flooring system that is easy to clean, durable and provides lasting beauty to the largest room in your house. When considering a floor coating system for your garage, look for systems that utilize polyurethane as the finish coat. Traditional epoxies wear faster, and do not maintain the long-lasting shine and durability of the latest polyurethane finishes.   
3. Keeping the garage neat and orderly is easy when it starts out organized. With your items categorized and stored away in cabinetry, it becomes much easier to determine annually what you need (because you have had it in and out of the cabinet several times), and what can be purged. Being able to find your items easily saves time and money, as you won't be purchasing things you already have, but can't find.
4. The right garage storage system should allow for easy washing of the floor that will keep it clean and prevent tracking mud and dirt into your home. Please don’t hesitate to contact our offices should you have any questions or would like assistance in developing your plan.

Keep Your Garage Clean & Safe

• Make sure there is good lighting in your garage.  Add more light fixtures if needed.
• All items should be kept in their designated area.
• Keep floors clear and immediately clean any grease or spills.
• Store paints, toxic chemicals and pesticides in their original containers clearly labeled and safely out of reach of children.
• Keep flammable items away from heat sources and work areas.
• You should not use any power tools with frayed or tattered cords.  Unplug tools when they are not in use.
• Never exceed specified weight recommendations for cabinets and shelving units. Make sure weight is evenly distributed and store heaviest items closest to the ground.
• Make sure you have a small ladder or step stool within easy reach to help you when reaching for items stored up high.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in your garage
