Handmade Tile Bathroom Ideas

That was the file name of one of the three customer installation photos I received through facebook yesterday. I think that name suits all three pictures. Why have a plain shower, when you can have a "pretty shower"? 3"x6" white subway tiles with a band of blue and green glass mosaic tiles and my 2"x2" ginkgo leaf tiles in northern lights glaze. Plain subway tiles are subtle and tasteful on their own; adding a colorful band of tiles made this installation sparkle. It could also be described as a "pretty bath"! I didn't make the plain mosaic tiles or wave...

I never know when customer installation pictures will show up in my inbox. When they do, opening the files feels like unwrapping a gift! It is so fun to see the creative ways in which people incorporate my tiles into their living space. It was definitely a treat to wake up to this lovely set of photos: This is actually the second time these tiles have been featured on this blog, the first time they were photographed uninstalled and as part of a montage. It is so great to seem them in their forever home over the sink and in...

Insects are fascinating and beautiful. As a child, I spent many hours by myself observing them in remote corners of the playground & backyard (obviously, I wasn't a popular kid!) As an adult, I will be the first to admit that I don't like it when any sort of creepy- crawly gets into my home. Living insects belong outside, not on my walls!

I think the nooks must be set in between the wall studs, so maybe it was a lucky coincidence the lined up so perfectly? Each one is tiled with a mixture of my handmade art tiles and two inch by two inch field tiles from another source: First panel, above: 4"x4" Pine Tile, 4"x8" Heron Tile, 4"x4" Spring Oak Tile Middle panel features a 4"X4" Jellyfish Tile, 4"x4" Nest Tile & 4"x4" Turtle...

At least that is what happened to me when I opened an email and saw this amazing art tile installation. Every time I open up installation pictures from a customer, it feels like Christmas morning.  Especially when the installation is beautifully done and the pictures are good quality, as is the case with these bathroom pictures from John Ueng-McHale, which feature my 3"x6" vine tiles: This bathroom is a classic; I love the old-fashioned subway tiles in white.  And check out the amazing, retro black, white and grey hex tiles on the floor: I think the art tiles add just...
