A California Kitchen with a Personal Touch
Sometimes all it takes is one thoughtful design element to turn a beautiful space into one that truly sings. When this client in California got in touch, her kitchen had just been beautifully remodeled: warm, mid-tone wood cabinets, black and pale gray counters, and a subtle, coordinating backsplash. It was calm, inviting, and full of natural warmth, but she felt it needed a little something more.... Above: The kitchen before the handmade tiles were added She discovered my work and selected a variety of handmade feature tiles to bring her vision to life. The glazes she chose: Honey, Gray, White, and...
A Handmade Tile Mural in Two Shades of Green
Customer installation photos are one of the things that keep me motivated. BIG thanks to C.S. in Louisiana for sending this photo and lovely note: "We are enjoying your beautiful handiwork in our kitchen and have received many compliments on the tiles. They are our favorite part of the remodel we've been working on for the last 4 months. We are just so happy to have found you on the Internet. We thank you for your talented artwork that we admire every day. We wish you continued success and happy creating what you clearly love." This kind of heartfelt feedback...
From Concept to Kitchen: a Handmade Tile Mural
I am thrilled to share pictures of this stunning mural in two shades of green that has been expertly installed in a kitchen in Washington state: It is accompanied by a beautiful row of "honey" glazed 3"×3" tiles under a nearby window: A vibrant row of red glazed tiles runs around the kitchen. They add a striking contrast and seamlessly tie the entire space together, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design. Here is a closer view of the honey tiles from before they were installed: The homeowners came up with the layout themselves using images from my website. Here...
An Ocean Montage for a Home by the Sea
This backsplash is a tile lover's dream! It was four years in the making because it took that long for the homeowner to collect this beautiful array of nautical and ocean themed tiles. It was well worth the wait; this montage is absolutely perfect for a New England home by the sea. I can almost smell the salty air! I'm honored that so many of my tiles are featured here, and I am also happy to see work by some of my tile making friends including Little Traverse Tileworks who made the sailboat, the anchor, and the number 4, and Dana...
Small tiles, big impact
I hope everyone who celebrates had a great Thanksgiving. My "week of gratitude" lost momentum over the holiday weekend, but I am going to keep working my way though all the wonderful customer installation photos that I have been neglecting to post. This kitchen is in Oregon, and the photos arrived last July. It is now December. Oops! Better late than never, right? This installation shows that even a small grouping of handmade tiles can give a space a distinctive, personal feel. Four 3x3 inch handmade feature tiles create a focal point above the stove in a field of...
A Vintage Kitchen in San Fransisco
I'm continuing my week of gratitude by sharing this delightful, authentic vintage kitchen (circa 1939) that has been modified slightly to include my tiles. This kitchen is located in beautiful San Fransisco, CA, near where I was born. Even though I haven't been back to the Bay Area for many years, it makes me happy to know that my tiles are installed there. It feels like a part of me is still there and always will be. The sunny field tiles are original, and the homeowner was able to find matching ones at nearby Latch Tile Inc. in order to...
A Kent Kitchen
Anyone who knows me knows I love my hometown, so it is always especially gratifying when my tiles are installed here in Kent, Ohio. This kitchen even features a "Kent" tile in honor of our lovely little tree city. This kitchen renovation was a major project that spanned many months. Here is what the room looked like in progress: And here is what it looks like now that it is finished: What a transformation! I am so happy that my tiles get to be a part of this wonderful space. Because the project started so long ago, it includes tiles...
A Kitchen in the Mountains of Western North Carolina
This lovely kitchen is near Asheville, North Carolina. The multicolored handmade tiles were chosen to represent the flora and fauna in the mountains in that part of the state. The cream colored, square tiles in the center of the panel are antique tiles from an architectural salvage store, and the matching subway tile surround was made by Cevica. Here is a close of the tiles that I made for this project, before they left the studio. The following message arrived along with the installation photos: The tiles show trees that grow on our wooded property and animals that live here...
