Hot Out of the Kiln!

It doesn't have the same ring as "hot off the press" but it's just as newsworthy to me! Our fabulous tile installers emailed me a photo of my tile shipment today and it's just too good! I'll be stopping in this week to see it in person and approve the shipment, but here's the teaser: 

The picture is, admittedly, not so great, but knowing what this will look like installed is good enough for me. This raised arabesque pattern comes in a rainbow of colors and can even be mixed with stone, see exhibit A:

Gorgeous -- the marble is flat, the ceramic is subtly raised.

Or as we chose for this project, a glass crackle that puddles on the outside edges and creates oodles of depth and dimension for just a hint of color. Exhibit B:

Not my color

Yes,  my color.

AND I'm so excited for this tile to live next to its grasscloth neighbor -- I think they'll be quite happy together:

Exhibit: Awww Yee-Ahhh!

Set to be installed next week. In the meantime, I'm tracking powder room wallpaper shipments and wrangling floor re-finishers. 

Glam Grass

Glam Grass. What sounds better than that? Nothing to my design obsessed ears.

I'm in love with Phillip Jefferies Glam Grass Wall coverings. You know I'm a neutral girl at heart. I love the taupe's, camels, chocolates, ivory's, greys.

But I'm dying to use the glam grass in a soft blue. (Even though the chocolate shimmer aptly named "Parisian Mink" in the picture makes me weak in the knees as well).

What could be happier than a powder room or bedroom with blue shimmer grasscloth?

The names alone make we want to buy them.

Maldive Blue

French Alps Chalet

Monte Carlo Nights

African Diamonds

I hope I get to meet you soon, Maldive Blue. If our date doesn't go so well, I'll be looking for you Parisian Mink.

One of you will be mine.
