Designer house projects are a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase our unique tile products and quality workmanship by donating our design skills, installation and tile and at the same time support some of our local community charities. The 31st & 32nd Bucks County designer houses “Seven Gables” in 2006 and “Foxbriar Farm at Peddler’s village” in 2007 were organized by the VIA and were a great success.

The VIA (The Village Improvement Association) was founded in 1895 and is probably best known for founding Doylestown Hospital. Every year their designer house committee spends countless hours guiding these projects to completion. We enjoy participating in this successful, charitable endeavor and it is always a pleasure to meet and work with other local designers and the VIA who continue to do such wonderful work in the community.

Look at the bare bones of your room – the shapes and planes of your walls, floor, ceiling, and windows. Decide on the feeling or mood you desire for your finished room. The goal is to live in a space that is inviting and calm. View full size
