The first Torrid store - Brea Mall - Brea, CA (Opened April 18, 2001)

Designed by JGA, Inc. 

From the book: “The retailer, Hot Topic, based in City of Industry, CA, started a short 12 years ago with a concept and a target market; cutting edge apparel, accessories and novelty items--all inspired by alternative music, oriented towards a hip and trendy, teenage market. Hot Topic changed the look of their retail settings, which are usually located in mainstream malls, and the company has recently taken aim at another special market. The new focus is on plus-size teens; an area that the fashion market seems to have neglected. 

Up until this time the 15-30 year old hip and trendy young women who wear sizes 14-26 had no other choice but to shop in the larger size women's shops where the fashions were tailored to the more matronly and conservative tastes. That is how Torrid was born! 

Torrid was introduced in a new, hot and fun retail setting designed by JGA, Inc. of Southfield, MI which has designed the various prototypes for the Hot Topic stores as well. To be sure of the need for such a niche to be filled, the company opened five Torrid shops almost simultaneously; the first in Brea, CA, followed by stores in malls in Mission Viejo, CA, Annapolis, MD, Omaha, NE, N. Attleboro, MA, and Littleton, CO. The merchandise offerings are clustered as "Streetwear," "Clubwear," Rockabilly Wear," and Renaissance Wear" and the stores average about 2,750 SF. Besides the "everyday" slacks and novelty T-shirts, these larger size young women can find black vinyl pants and mini-skirts, black corsets, dog-collar chokers and platform shoes as well as retro-inspired clothing and accessories. In addition to the gothic and prom dresses, Torrid also carries a full line of lingerie for this particular market. Listening to the target market, Hot Topic's Torrid offers teenagers and up the opportunity to look "girly yet fierce." 

The design objective for the prototype store that was designed by JGA, Inc. was to create "a celebration of abundance" and make the setting as unique, unconventional and spirited as the plus-size young women who will be shopping here. Inspired by a "mythological, after-hours club in New Orleans," the atmosphere is romantic, dark and filled with a sense of "unbridled passion." "From the signature flaming heart icon to the curving voluptuous lines throughout the store, excessive materials and scale mirror the zest of the Torrid woman." It starts out front with the shopper-stopping facade which serves as a dramatic gateway to the store. 

The curvaceous and sensuous "hourglass" figures of the Torrid customer is expressed in the hand-crafted metalwork and the backlit translucent glass glowing red. A "drippy" red chandelier and the hand blown flaming heart torcheres add to the store's distinctive sense of place and being. The mosaic porcelain tile floor sets the color palette of jewel tones and metallics. "Visually complex, layers of finishes and architectural pieces evoke a one-of-a-kind artistic flavor." The eclectic mix of fixtures, furniture and furnishings-even the armoires--add to the New Orleans flavor. The hand painted, whimsical and overscaled armoires or cabinets are used to anchor the various zones within the store and at the center of the space a large bronze metallic drape further divides the departments.

The designers added special touches to each area to create that unique, one-of-a-kind feeling to the design. Specially designed, oversized red sculptured chairs with slatted backs are featured in the shoe area. Shoes and accessories are displayed on the slatted backs. The lingerie area takes on a more intimate and exotic--almost Moroccan--feeling with the hand blown glass chandeliers suspended down from large plaster domes. Seen behind this area--beyond a hand painted wall and arc--are the individual, oversized dressing rooms which are equipped with flattering uplights and decorative chandeliers that are visible from other parts of the store. The cash wrap becomes a "focal fantasy" in the total design and it resembles a giant canopy bed topped with twisting shapes and forms.

The space is filled with a pulsating excitement that is so appropriate for the merchandise and the young clientele. In addition to the shimmering palette of rich, deep colors, the warm colored downlights not only enrich the ambient colors and textures but they enhance the merchandise display. The traditional long and narrow mall space is broken up into more personal and individual zones by the variations in ceiling heights, the tin ceilings, finials and the assorted wall coverings. The use of brocades, metallics, and jewel tones on the walls also help to differentiate areas in the store. The metal fixture system--tortoise shell like in appearance--was customized to accommodate the products unique size and length requirements.

If all goes as well as anticipated we can expect to see more and more Torrid shops opening up across the USA- maybe even as many as 700 outlets!”

EPOXYSHİNE - DRAGON+ (2)

Welcome to our blog post dedicated to transforming your garage into a durable and stylish space with garage floor flakes. Whether you're looking to improve the functionality of your garage or simply enhance its aesthetic appeal, understanding the options available can make a significant difference. Garage flooring has come a long way, offering a range of solutions from basic concrete to advanced coatings that are both resilient and visually appealing. 

Garage Floor Flakes

When considering options for enhancing your garage space, garage floor flakes offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution. These small pieces of colored materials are designed to be mixed into floor coatings, creating a textured finish that not only looks great but also provides additional durability.

One of the main advantages of using garage floor flakes is their ability to hide imperfections in the concrete surface. They can effectively camouflage stains, cracks, and chips that are often found in older garage floors. This means a cleaner and more appealing look without the need for costly surface repairs.

Additionally, garage floor flakes contribute to the slip resistance of your flooring. The texture created by the flakes makes it safer to walk on, reducing the risk of slips and falls, especially when the floor is wet or oily. This safety aspect, combined with the visual appeal, makes garage floor flakes a popular choice for many homeowners.

Garage Flooring

When considering your garage, the flooring is often an overlooked aspect that plays a crucial role in the overall functionality and appearance of the space. Choosing the right garage flooring can enhance durability, aesthetics, and ease of maintenance. Common options include epoxy coatings, tiles, and interlocking mats, each with its own set of advantages.

One of the most popular choices for garage flooring is epoxy, known for its resilience and ability to withstand heavy loads. An epoxy coating can transform a dull concrete surface into a vibrant, high-gloss finish that not only looks great but also resists staining, chemicals, and impact. Additionally, it can be customized with decorative garage floor flakes for a unique look that hides imperfections and provides extra texture.

In addition to epoxy, tiles and vinyl can also be effective alternatives. Garage tiles are easy to install and replace, making them a flexible choice for those who might want to change their garage flooring in the future. Vinyl options offer a softer feel underfoot and come in a variety of designs that can mimic other materials. Ultimately, the best choice of garage flooring will depend on your specific needs, preferences,

Floor Coating

When it comes to enhancing the appearance and durability of your garage, floor coating is an essential element to consider. This process involves applying a protective layer over the garage floor, which not only improves its aesthetic appeal but also provides a robust defense against stains, spills, and wear and tear. By investing in high-quality floor coating, homeowners can ensure their garage remains a functional and attractive space for years to come.

Various types of floor coatings are available in the market, including epoxy, polyurethane, and polyurea options. Among these, epoxy coatings are particularly popular due to their exceptional strength and resistance to chemicals. Moreover, the variety of colors and finishes available allows for endless customization, enabling homeowners to create a garage environment that suits their personal style and needs.

In addition to aesthetic benefits, an effective floor coating can significantly increase the longevity of your garage flooring. It creates a barrier that prevents moisture and dirt from penetrating the surface, thus minimizing the damage that could occur over time. Ultimately, whether you use your garage for parking, storage, or as a workshop, investing in the right floor coating can transform the space, making it more durable and visually appealing.

Garage Floor Coating

When it comes to choosing the right solution for your garage floor, garage floor coating offers an innovative way to protect and enhance the aesthetic of your space. Unlike traditional flooring, which can deteriorate over time due to spills, stains, and wear, a high-quality coating creates a resilient layer that withstands the rigors of everyday use.

One of the benefits of a garage floor coating is its ability to be customized to fit your needs. Various options, such as epoxy and polyaspartic coatings, can provide different levels of durability, gloss, and color. This allows homeowners to select a finish that not only meets their practical needs but also reflects their personal style.

Installation of a garage floor coating is typically a straightforward process, but it is essential to ensure proper preparation and application. A well-prepared surface will maximize the adhesion of the coating and significantly extend its lifespan. Therefore, it’s advisable to either follow proper guidelines for DIY projects or consult with professionals who specialize in flooring solutions.

Why opt for a vinyl swimming pool?

The backyard Vinyl Swimming Pools are increasingly sought after by those wishing to build a leisure space at home. Discover this type of pool and its advantages. Because of its excellent value for money, the vinyl composite pool is one of the most popular projects. Find out how this type of swimming pool is made and know its advantages and maintenance at the time of maintenance.

The vinyl composite pool is not as rigid as the fiber pool. It is their coating that differs. It covers the structure, usually masonry, built below ground level. Check out how to build a vinyl pool from scratch:

The construction begins with the demarcation of the land because the pool can take shape and size chosen by the customer.

As soon as the land is delimited, the space is dug and prepared to provide for the swimming pool installation.

Then an iron trellis suitable for the installation of the swimming pool is installed, and a layer of mortar and waterproof plaster on the ground is deposited.

The walls are then covered with concrete blocks that adapt to any type of soil, whether dry, sandy, or wet.

Then the finishes are made for the installation of the devices, such as the suction, the evacuation of the water, the bottom drainage, and the return.

Finally, the vinyl coating is applied to cover the entire structure, and a vacuum system does its fixing.

The vinyl is custom-made and will be spread all over the pool to the walls. The pool-filling process can then begin. During this time, an industrial vacuum removes the air between the bag and the pool structure. In this way, the coating will not present creases or deformations.

Since it is a waterproof material, vinyl composite is also an excellent choice for those who need to renovate a concrete swimming pool, for example, with leakage problems.

In this case, prior maintenance is required to repair holes and broken tiles. A pre-vinyl cover is also applied so that the coating does not get abraded with the rest of the materials used.

The advantages of the vinyl swimming pool

Vinyl pools offer many advantages:

Cost: construction requires less material and less labor to finish, resulting in shorter turnaround times and faster delivery

Waterproofing: the vinyl does not require the application of another waterproofing material since it already fulfills this function by itself, which also reduces costs

Maintenance: There is no need to replace materials like broken tiles.

Cleaning: vinyl is easy to clean and has a more hygienic appearance

Size and shape: as the construction of the vinyl is custom-made, there is no size or format limit for the construction of the pool

Customization: there are a large number of prints and colors on the market. For example, you can even personalize the vinyl by printing a logo or a coat of arms.

If you are embarking on the project of creating your vinyl swimming pool, it is recommended that you pay attention not only to the quality of the flooring but also to the construction of the structure. It is important to always call on the Best Pool Builders in North Carolina that will provide you with expert work. This will ensure the best value for your pool.

Kitchen Renovation Ideas on a Budget - Expert Tips

Kitchen remodeling is a very fascinating exercise in most cases but can be very challenging,especially when working within a set budget. Here are some budget-friendly kitchen renovation ideas by experts from All Property Services. They offer all sorts of repair, and renovation work. You can search “Repairs & Renovation Company Near Me”, to contact them.

Get a Revamped Kitchen with These Proven Tips

Have a Right Plan

First things before you begin with any kind of makeover, it is pivotal to come up with the right plan. Analyze your current kitchen environment, determine what should be changed for the better, and establish practical objectives for remodeling. This way you will avoid unnecessary spending while at the same time ensuring that your project is on the right track.

Replace Kitchen Cabinets With New Ones

Don’t invest a huge amount in buying new cabinets and instead repaint the existing ones in your house. That way they can be painted again and you can give them a new look like they are new all over and change the feeling of the kitchen. 

Furniture painted in pastel colors such as white or light gray will make the room look larger, while darker colors like navy blue or emerald green are more classy. Also, replacing outdated cabinet solutions, including knobs and handles, with new fashionable ones is among the simplest and cheapest techniques to update.

Update the Backsplash:

Kitchens are one of the focal areas in a home where the first thing that one’s eyes will catch will be the backsplash. Ceramic tiles used as backsplashes are easy to change; a simple swap of your old backsplash with a new one can already give that new modern appeal to your kitchen. 

Those on a small budget should think of getting peel-and-stick backsplash tiles. These are cheaper, thus DIY-friendly, and are available in numerous designs that resemble costly materials such as ceramics or glass.

Countertop Solutions

Countertops are very costly when it comes to the replacement; however, do not despair; there are cheap substitutes that can be used. If you want to install expensive granite or marbles, you could always compromise with the laminates or butcher blocks and achieve a fashionable look at a cheaper price. 

A second is refacing your current counters by repainting or putting on a new laminate surface. There are countertop resurfacing kits on the market that enable you to refinish the surface to look like more expensive materials.

Refresh the Flooring

Floors are also costly when doing a kitchen remodel, but here is how you can get your floor to look brand new even on a tight budget. For instance, the vinyl flooring has improved as a design material and as a durability material, and it costs much less compared to the hardwood or tile. 

It is also very simple to install, and this means that you stand a very good chance of saving on the amount of money you would have paid to a contractor to do it for you.

Change the Lighting

Lighting is another factor that, when properly selected, can boost the mood and general feel of the kitchen massively. Replacing bad lighting with beautiful new lights is easy and inexpensive, thus making it one of the methods to change the appearance of the room. 

LED lights emit less energy, and they are cheap to purchase since they do not require frequent replacement like the normal bulbs.

Open Shelving

If your kitchen feels too small, then it would be helpful to replace several upper cabinets with shelves. The materials for open shelves are relatively cheap, and they are also easy to fix on the wall, so they can create the illusion of a large kitchen space and get full access to the utensils constantly used in the kitchen. 

If you are not willing to completely demolish your cabinets, perhaps you can as well remove doors to make it look like an open shelving. This will allow the kitchen to look brighter and more open without the need to purchase new shelves.

Repurpose and Reuse 

You need to always remember to reduce costs and cut expenses to the minimum; hence, recycle and utilize old items. For instance, instead of purchasing a new kitchen island, you can transform a table or a dresser with new paint.

Focus on Small Details 

This reminds me that it doesn’t take a lot to make a significant change at times. Replacing such items as dish towels, rugs, and curtains that you may already have outgrown is a cheap way of changing the interior décor of your kitchen. It is also possible to include other stylistic accessories such as plants, paintings, or colorful and beautiful bowls of fruits in such a space.

DIY Where You Can: 

This is why when renovating, it is easy to spend lots of money hiring professionals for each task needed. Owing to the fact that you may end up spending a lot of money, it might be economical if you take charge of some of the tasks. 

A simple dollar store solution in this case is painting walls instead of putting new ones or painting the cabinets instead of replacing them. On the Internet, there are many lessons and videos for those who would like to learn how to do it by themselves.

Prioritize Your Renovation 

Last but not least, intentionally allocate your money. Choose what you think are the critical areas of your kitchen that need intervention and which of them you should spend on.

Conclusion

Kitchen renovation can be done on a limited budget as long as one follows some effective strategies during the process. Hence, all the changes that have been discussed as important to be made in the kitchen include painting cabinets, updating a backsplash, and incorporating do-it-yourself ideas, which will help transform the kitchen into a contemporary kitchen without necessarily having to spend a lot of money.  Just remember that minor changes and major decisions that are made can sum up to a lot, meaning that after renovation, you will get a nice-looking kitchen that you’ve always wanted without necessarily having to spend so much.

Basement Finishing in Columbia, MD: Transform Your Space into a Dream Living Area

The Benefits of Finishing Your Basement

Increased Living Space: One of the most obvious benefits is the addition of usable square footage to your home. A finished basement can become a family room, a play area for kids, or even an extra bedroom. This can be particularly useful for growing families who need more space without the hassle and expense of a home addition.

Increased Home Value: In Columbia, MD, home values are constantly on the rise. Finishing your basement is a smart investment that can significantly increase your property’s resale value. Basement Finishing Columbia Md Potential buyers often look for homes with additional finished spaces, and a well-done basement can set your home apart from others on the market.

Energy Efficiency: Unfinished basements can be cold and drafty, often leading to higher heating and cooling bills. A finished basement, on the other hand, is better insulated, helping you save on energy costs. With proper insulation and HVAC installation, your basement can be a cozy retreat year-round.

Flexibility of Design: A basement is essentially a blank canvas with endless design possibilities. Whether you want to create a cozy media room, a gym, or a home office, finishing your basement gives you the flexibility to tailor the space to your family’s specific needs and preferences.

Additional Income Potential: If you want to maximize the value of your basement, consider turning it into a rental unit. Columbia is home to many professionals and students, and having a private, finished space can provide you with a steady source of rental income.

Key Considerations for Basement Finishing in Columbia, MD

Moisture and Waterproofing: Columbia’s climate can bring its fair share of humidity, which can affect the condition of your basement. Before starting any finishing project, it's crucial to address moisture issues. Installing a proper waterproofing system, including sump pumps and vapor barriers, will help protect your finished basement from mold and water damage.

Building Codes and Permits: In Howard County, which includes Columbia, there are specific building codes and permits required for basement finishing projects. Make sure to consult with a professional contractor familiar with local regulations to ensure your project meets all legal requirements.

Lighting and Ventilation: Basements often have limited natural light and ventilation, making it important to carefully plan the lighting and airflow. Recessed lighting, large windows, or even installing egress windows can help brighten the space and make it feel more open.

How to Improve Property Value When Remodelling for Resale

When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. Renovating your property before listing it can significantly boost its value and attract potential buyers. However, not all renovations are created equal. Focusing on the right areas can maximize your return on investment (ROI) and ensure your home stands out in a competitive market.

Focus on Curb Appeal

The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers see, and it sets the tone for their entire experience. Investing in curb appeal is one of the most effective ways to increase property value.

Landscaping: A well-maintained lawn, trimmed shrubs, and colorful flowers can make your home more inviting. Consider adding mulch, stone walkways, or even a small garden to enhance the appeal. Professional landscaping can offer a high ROI, often recovering more than 100% of the investment.

Front Door: Replacing or repainting your front door is a simple, cost-effective way to improve your home’s exterior. A steel door or a door with decorative glass can add both security and style, making a strong statement.

Exterior Lighting: Adding or upgrading outdoor lighting not only enhances safety but also highlights your home’s architectural features. Pathway lights, porch lights, and landscape lighting can make a significant difference.

Upgrade the Kitchen

The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and it’s one of the first areas potential buyers inspect. A modern, functional kitchen can be a major selling point, making it a prime area for renovations.

Countertops: Replacing outdated countertops with materials like granite, quartz, or marble can instantly elevate the kitchen’s appearance. These materials are durable and add a touch of luxury that buyers appreciate.

Cabinetry: If your cabinets are in good shape but look outdated, consider repainting them or replacing the hardware. For a more dramatic change, installing new cabinets or adding open shelving can modernize the space.

Appliances: Upgrading to energy-efficient, stainless steel appliances can make your kitchen more attractive to buyers. New appliances not only improve the look of the kitchen but also offer practical benefits like lower energy bills.

Refresh the Bathrooms

Bathrooms are another critical area that can significantly influence a buyer’s decision. A clean, updated bathroom can add considerable value to your home.

Final Touches

Deep Cleaning: A thorough cleaning of your home is essential before showing it to potential buyers. This includes washing windows, cleaning carpets, and scrubbing grout. A spotless home creates a positive impression and suggests that the property has been well-maintained.
