Awesome Image and Idea resource!
I recently came across this great photo website specifically designed for the Home Industry. You can create and save images into your own idea books. It’s very cool! I’ve uploaded many of our project photos and will be using this site in our design process. Check it out!

October Open House
We had SO much fun at our October open house! It was thrilling to finally share the design showroom with friends, past clients and new friends of TB&A! Thank you to Chris Audrey of Painting by Design, Inc. for the beautiful paint work in the showroom and for helping us get ready. Many thanks to everyone who stopped by or participated in the event. From our friends at Alpha Stone Concrete for their amazing barbecued pork and their concrete counter top discussions to the talented musicians from The Music Maker School next door — the event was so much fun!
A special thanks goes to artist Barre Pinske who carved our new fantasy castle carving that occupies our front yard. Visit his website to see his portfolio. Or you can see him live and in action on the Barre Cam. This months activity is Barre’s “Bear-a-thon”! See it live here:
Here are some photos from the day! Hope to see you at our next event!
Very Cool Twig and Resin floor
An artist friend of mine made these tiles for us out of Twigs and resin. We are installing them in our showroom’s powder room today. Check out Barre’s website. You can see many pieces of the Twig and Resin method on his site. He also has a live link to see whats going on in his shop at any given time.
