Timeless Tiles for a 1920s Home

Have I mentioned how much joy customer installation photos bring me? 

A cozy fireplace surround in a 1920s home featuring leaf green handmade bee and leaf tiles by emu tile paired with Magma Zellige porcelain tiles, creating a timeless and inviting focal point.

The happiness is multiplied when they are accompanied by a wonderful message like this:

"We love our new fireplace so much!! I admire it every day :) Our house is from 1920 so we feel your work fits perfectly <3. I've attached some images. We would 1000% use your same tile again if we had to do it all over!"

Thank you so much, K., for including my tiles in your project, for taking the time to share photos, and for sharing the brand of field tiles you used: Magma Zellige Italian Porcelain Subway Floor and Wall Tile by Tonalite Italy from Encore Surfaces. They look perfect with the leaf green feature tiles, which are pictured below prior to shipment.

A studio shot of handmade ceramic tiles before shipping: a 4x4 inch bee tile and two 1x6 inch leaf tiles, all glazed in a rich leaf green.
