I’m so excited to share this beautiful bathroom installation from Shelly in Kansas! The space feels both classic and fresh, thanks to a thoughtful mix of handmade and commercial tiles, and that stunning stained glass window.

The bath and shower area is tiled from top to bottom, with colors that echo those of the stained glass. The custom wave and heron tiles add a graceful focal point in an already rich and sophisticated space. Each wave tile was specially cut to slightly under 1×4 inches and installed alongside Daltile’s Artcrafted Collection. The colors (Pacific Blue for the waves and Spearmint for the herons) create a subtle, playful combination that brings an unexpected sense of movement to the room.

Here is a close-ups of the waves:

And the herons:


Here is a photo of some of the tiles before they left my studio:

I just can't get enough of this bathroom! Shelly planned with her sisters as well as her installer, Dave of Dr Tile LLC, who did a fantastic job.

It’s always such a treat to see my tiles come to life in a real project. Thank you, Shelly, for trusting me with your bathroom and sharing these gorgeous photos!
