Anthony Carrino’s TheBuild.TV Stone House Project
Catskill Mountains, New York | February 10, 2023
Introduction
Anthony Carrino is best known for his work with his cousin John on HGTV’s Kitchen Cousins. After six HGTV series, nine seasons and more than 100 episodes, Carrino is now focusing on TheBuild.TV, an outlet providing real information for homeowners who want to be well informed before starting their renovation journeys. Launching Season 2 of his online series, Carrino has embarked on renovating a 1960s Stone House located in the beautiful Catskill Mountains.
The Story
The original owner started the renovation project and then realized it was too much to be accomplished, so Carrino purchased the property to develop it into a mountain retreat home. The goal of the project was to make the home both updated and functional with a modern feel that still pulled inspiration from its surroundings. Taking a realistic approach to planning, process, products and project management, he takes viewers through the importance of each step to achieve a stunning renovated home in the end.
In selecting tile for this unique renovation, Carrino worked with Crossville’s long-standing partner Garden State Tile. For the home bar, the design team wanted it to seamlessly integrate into the overall design, yet stand out as a focal point in the room. Choosing Crossville’s Cursive collection for the backsplash of the bar in the main living area, Carrino designed a custom tile pattern with bold colors utilizing the triangle shape that beautifully accentuates built-in custom cabinets.
The second floor of the Stone House is dedicated to hosting friends and family. Alongside the two guest bedrooms are two bathrooms: a guest bath off the hall and a full ensuite bath in one of the guest rooms. For the upstairs guest bathrooms, Carrino selected Crossville’s Multiplier collection in contrasting colors on the walls to create custom sayings. Taking a simple material and giving it a creative spin in traditional white and dark grey colors, he added focus points in the showers with the words, “Get Lost in the Woods.” Additionally, he installed Multiplier in all white as a floor to ceiling backsplash behind an oversized farmhouse sink.
Conclusion
A collaborative design process was essential for the success of the project. Carrino worked closely with Garden State Tile, and they developed a true mountain retreat in the Catskills. Now, Carrino and his guests can enjoy the mountain surroundings by relaxing in the modern and beautifully renovated home.
