When Josh and I started dating 12 years ago, we met as Josh was selling his home in St. Charles and buying another in Lake County, IL for his new Job at Aldai Stevenson High School. I was finishing up my student teaching in Geneva IL, and living at home with my parents in Elgin. Many of our dates consisted of looking for homes for Josh and discussing how to sell his current home.  He sold it for Sale By Owner and did so at 26 years old. He has always amazed me!  Thus, our love for real estate began. This passion continued as we continued to  look for our family lake homes over the next 12 years for rent for summer trips or to possibly by as an investment property. We almost invested in one 2 summers ago only to have another buyer swoop in and put in a better offer, we can only assume. Our love for real estate runs deep, and we look forward to our future careers as Realtors and Teachers. We believe it will be prosperous! Please join us on our adventure.
Christine and Josh Hjorth

Adding style and drama to your kitchen is easy with a brightly hued backsplash. Discover new ways to use favorite colors, and see how tile patterns and materials can help your backsplash stand out even more.

Create an optical illusion.

If you have a small kitchen, consider incorporating shimmering tiles to open up the space. Just like a mirror, the brilliant sheen of these subway tiles reflects light and makes the room feel more spacious. Frosted-glass upper cabinets also keep the space from feeling too confined, and provide a display area to show off pretty dishware.

Hint at nature.

A light green backsplash adds refreshing, modern flair to this neutral kitchen, and the classic subway tile shape blends nicely with the traditional-style cabinetry. Reminiscent of outdoor spaces, the gentle green tiles bring a touch of nature to the kitchen work space.
