Purty tile


One of my favorite designers, Charlotte Carothers, did an amazing job on this Master bath. I finally had a chance to go check it out this morning and it is one of my favorites yet. The picture does not do it justice, because it was taken with my iphone. But sometime soon when the project is further along I will go take professional pictures and post them.

The floor tile is "Smoke" limestone from Artistic Tile. This stone is so soft, not just in color but literally soft to the touch. It has a wax finish and comes in 12x24, 12x12, 5/8x5/8 (shown on shower floor) and 5/8x4". We paired it up with Calcutta Gold in the shower and tub front.

Being 'Mixed-Up' Never looked so good!

The geniuses at Mixed-Up Mosaics in New York City have done it again! These mosaic masters can create a dazzling glass mosaic mural of ANYTHING, and their geometric patterns are stunning. Equally great in homes as they are in bars, restaurants, hotels, etc....AND they can usually ship out a custom sample in 24 hours. Not much to say but "Wow!"

Shown left is the "stripes" pattern above the chair rail with matching 12x12 tile below the chair rail.



Shown in the middle is the "grass" pattern....perfectly soothing in a spa bath.

Shown on the bottom is a custom mosaic mural that is 8' wide and 8' tall...the detail is simply amazing.

Now what mosaic can YOU dream up???
