An Arts and Crafts Hearth

Really pleased that my tiles are a focal point in this inviting New Jersey living room. One of the homeowners is a shop teacher so he installed the tiles and woodwork himself with great care and precision. He sent a nice note along with the photos that said, "Everything came out the way we wanted and your tiles added a signature touch. We get a lot of compliments."

I didn't make the grey field tiles, only the feature tiles. The next 3 photos were taken during the installation process.

Above and below are close ups of the feature tiles before they were grouted.

Thanks, L.S. for including my tiles in your project and for sending photos!
