A Black and White Kitchen

These tiles shipped out a few weeks ago and they are already installed!

The homeowner said that the counters came with the house and, while they aren't what she would have picked out herself, she decided to lean into the black and white by adding coordinating tiles. I love the results, and more importantly, so does she! She included a lovely message along with the photos:

"I LOVE my tiles!!!! Thank you so much Emily! Everyone who sees them looks like this 😀. Happy! Thank you for the Joy!!"

She selected 4x4 inch tiles featuring plants and animals that had special significance for her. All decorative tiles were glazed in "night sky" and the field tiles were glazed in "white" to tie in with the granite.

The combination of black and white tiles and counters creates a striking yet tasteful feature. They keep the kitchen from feeling too plain without overwhelming the space. I love that a relatively small addition to this room has make such a positive impact!

Huge thank you to B.W. for making my tiles part of your B&W kitchen, and for taking the time to share the results! I love what you have done and I hope you enjoy your kitchen for many happy, healthy years to come!
