We recently finished this shower remodel in South Austin, and one of our favorite details was using the same tile on the shower walls and bathroom floor.
It gives the space a warm, continuous look without making the bathroom feel too busy.
A few details we used:
• Warm-toned tile throughout the shower and floor
• Bronze shower fixtures for contrast
• Natural oak frameless cabinetry
• Frameless glass shower door
• Clean, minimal lines with a warm modern feel
Waterproofing - Schluter system.
For Austin homeowners planning a bathroom or shower remodel, sometimes keeping the material palette simple makes the biggest difference.
Would you use the same tile on the walls and floor, or would you mix two different tiles?

We recently completed this custom bathroom remodel in Austin, Texas, centered around a warm, spa-inspired pistachio microcement walk-in shower.
The goal was to create a high-end bathroom that feels luxurious and custom without becoming overly busy.
Some of the details from this Austin bathroom remodel:
• Pistachio microcement finish throughout the shower walls and vanity wall
• Frameless glass shower enclosure with double shower hooks for towels! What do you think about this set up?
• Quartzite shower bench and curb
• Large-format tile flooring throughout the bathroom in travertine
• Matching tile baseboards for a clean, built-in look
• Custom shower niche with quartzite shelves
• Bronze shower + handheld shower system
• Custom vanity cabinetry
• Two spacious vanity pantries for additional storage
• Floating vanity section in the center
• LED lighting underneath the floating vanity for cozy evenings
• Quartzite vanity countertop
• light wall sconces
• Custom connection between the bathroom and walk-in closet. Also added a custom closet system
One of our favorite details is the combination of the pistachio microcement walls with the natural movement of the quartzite. The microcement keeps the shower visually clean while the quartzite adds texture and character.
The custom cabinetry was designed around both appearance and storage, with two large pantry-style cabinets flanking the floating vanity. The LED lighting underneath the vanity gives the room a subtle glow at night.
For homeowners researching a bathroom remodel in Austin, we think details like waterproofing, substrate preparation, shower drainage, microcement installation and tile installation deserve just as much attention as the finished design.

Would you choose pistachio microcement for your shower, or would you stick with traditional tile?
And if you were designing this bathroom, would you choose quartzite + brass or go with a completely different material combination?

We wanted this space to feel intimate, warm, and a little dramatic instead of treating the powder room like an afterthought.
The walls and ceiling are finished in a deep blue microcement, paired with dark walnut cabinetry, a quartzite countertop, bronze fixtures, and warm travertine-look flooring. The natural texture of the microcement keeps the dark color from feeling flat, while the wood and warm lighting soften everything up.
Small room, but definitely not a boring one. 😎
Would you go with microcement or wall paneling for a powder room like this? 👇
Should we decorate with vintage and paintings or keep it simple?

Blue Cristallo Quartzite Island — Austin Kitchen Remodel
Sharing some photos from a recent kitchen remodel we completed here in Austin, TX.
This project involved a major layout change and a complete transformation of the kitchen. The homeowners wanted something that felt warm and timeless but still had a little personality, so we went with a combination of warm wood cabinetry and navy blue cabinetry.

A fun detail behind the design: the homeowner served on a submarine when he was young, so blue has always had a special meaning for him. That made the Blue Crystallo quartzite island an especially fitting choice for this kitchen.

The centerpiece is the Blue Crystallo quartzite island, complemented by Taj Mahal quartzite, polished nickel hardware, and a custom plastered range hood.
A few details from the finished project:
• Blue Crystallo quartzite island
• Taj Mahal quartzite countertops
• Warm wood + navy blue cabinetry
• Custom plastered range hood
• Polished nickel hardware
• Redesigned kitchen layout
• Custom kitchen renovation in Austin
I really like how the blue quartzite adds color without making the kitchen feel overly trendy.
For those in r/kitchenremodelaustin — would you choose a statement stone like Blue Crystallo for your island, or stick with something more subtle?

We recently completed this bathroom remodel in Austin, TX, replacing an outdated and leaking tub/shower surround and old vanity with a completely new bathroom.
The biggest priority was making sure the new shower was properly waterproofed—not just making it look good.
What we changed:
Removed the old leaking bathtub and tub surround
Installed a new Schluter waterproofing system
Built a new walk-in shower with frameless glass
Installed large-format travertine-look porcelain tile on the shower walls and beautiful satin finish green tile
Used smaller tile on the shower floor for proper drainage and slip resistance
Taj Mahal quartzite for the shower curb and vanity countertop
New dark wood vanity and storage
New smart toilet
Brushed/brass-toned shower fixtures and hardware
Frameless glass shower enclosure
Updated lighting and bathroom finishes
One thing we always emphasize with bathroom remodeling is that the waterproofing behind the tile is just as important as the finished appearance. A beautiful shower doesn’t mean much if water is getting behind it.
For Austin homeowners: What would you change about this bathroom, and what would you prioritize first in your own remodel—waterproofing, layout, materials, or fixtures?

We recently finished this bathroom remodel in West Lake Hills, Austin, and thought this community might appreciate some of the unique materials and construction details.
Instead of a traditional tiled shower, we used a seamless microcement finish paired with handmade hexagon Saltillo tile flooring, a freestanding soaking tub, and a Taj Mahal quartzite vanity countertop to create a warm Mediterranean-inspired space.
A lot of the work that never gets seen happens behind the walls. Before any finish materials were installed, the shower was fully waterproofed and water-tested to help ensure long-term durability.
Project features:
• Seamless microcement shower
• Handmade hexagon Saltillo tile
• Taj Mahal quartzite vanity countertop
• Freestanding soaking tub
• Custom vanity
• Mediterranean-inspired design
• Full shower waterproofing system
I’m curious what everyone thinks.
If you were remodeling your bathroom in Austin, would you choose:
• A seamless microcement shower
• Traditional porcelain or ceramic tile
• Natural stone
I’d also be happy to answer questions about the installation process, waterproofing, material selection, maintenance, or budgeting for a bathroom remodel in Austin.

If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Austin, learning from other homeowners can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of stress.
As a remodeling contractor, we’ve seen the same mistakes happen over and over. Here are the most common ones:

1. Hiring a contractor based only on the lowest price.
   The cheapest estimate often leaves out important details like proper waterproofing, permits, or quality materials.
2. Skipping proper waterproofing
   Tile and grout are not waterproof. A properly installed waterproofing system behind the tile is one of the most important parts of any shower.
3. Keeping a poor layout
   Sometimes moving a vanity or enlarging the shower makes a bathroom feel much bigger without adding square footage.
4. Choosing materials based only on trends
   Select finishes you’ll still enjoy years from now, especially for expensive items like tile, countertops, and cabinetry.
5. Not planning enough storage
   Think about recessed medicine cabinets, vanity drawers, linen storage, and shower niches before construction starts.
6. Using the wrong tile
   Large-format porcelain tile, natural stone, mosaics, and textured tile all have different maintenance and installation requirements.
7. Forgetting about lighting
   Layered lighting around the vanity, shower, and ceiling makes a huge difference in both appearance and functionality.
8. Ignoring ventilation
   A quality exhaust fan helps prevent mold, moisture damage, and peeling paint.
9. Not budgeting for unexpected repairs
   Older Austin homes sometimes have hidden water damage, plumbing issues, or outdated electrical that isn’t visible until demolition.
10. Not thinking about resale value
    Features like walk-in showers, quality fixtures, durable materials, and timeless designs are usually appreciated by future buyers.
    Now I’m curious…
    ● What’s the biggest bathroom remodeling mistake you’ve experienced?

So happy with how this shower turned out! The client had a builders grade white subway tile and were tired with the dirty,moldy grout that needed constant cleaning.
I’m curious what everyone thinks about the growing popularity of microcement bathrooms.
The old shower had seen better days, so we completely rebuilt it and finished the walls with a seamless microcement system. No grout lines means a clean, modern look that’s easy to maintain, and it makes the shower feel much larger than it actually is.
For this project we focused on:
• Seamless waterproof microcement shower
• Modern walk-in shower design
• Premium waterproofing before the finish coat
• Minimalist contemporary style
• Durable surface made for everyday use
Microcement seems to be gaining a lot of attention in Austin, especially for homeowners looking for a modern alternative to tile. It definitely creates a different look compared to traditional porcelain or natural stone.
Would you choose a seamless microcement shower, or do you still prefer large-format tile? I’d love to hear why.
If you’re researching bathroom remodeling in Austin, TX, microcement showers, walk-in shower renovations, or modern bathroom design, hopefully this project gives you some inspiration.

One thing I’m curious about: how do you feel about checkered tile in a primary bathroom?

Some people think it’s making a big comeback, while others prefer large-format tile everywhere. Personally, I think the walnut cabinets help keep it from feeling too “retro.”

The homeowners wanted something that felt modern but still had a little character, so we went with black and white checkered porcelain tile throughout the bathroom, walk-in closet, and water closet. For the walls, we used 24x48 large-format porcelain tile to keep the space looking clean and seamless.

The shower ended up being one of the biggest features of the project.

The homeowners wanted a bathroom that feels like a luxury hotel but is practical for everyday use. The combination of warm walnut cabinetry, large-format tile, and classic checkered flooring gives the space a look that should stay in style for years.
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Austin, what flooring would you choose: classic checkered tile, large-format tile, or natural stone?

Just Finished: Mediterranean Style Kitchen Remodel in West Lake Hills, Austin 🌿
We recently wrapped up this custom kitchen remodel in West Lake Hills, TX, and it turned out exactly how the homeowners envisioned—a warm, timeless Mediterranean-inspired space with modern functionality.
Some of the standout features include:
• European-style custom cabinetry with warm natural wood finishes
• Genuine quartzite countertops with dramatic natural movement
• Authentic Saltillo tile flooring that brings warmth and character
• A hand-crafted custom plaster range hood as the centerpiece
• Soft earth tones and natural materials that create a calm, inviting atmosphere

For anyone planning a kitchen remodel in Austin or West Lake Hills, don’t overlook how important material selection is. Choosing real quartzite, handcrafted finishes, and quality cabinetry can completely change the feel and longevity of the kitchen.
