We’re absolutely loving the warm and more darker tones lately.
A lot of material that we’ve been choosing to display and use at our showroom, embodies a lived in vibe. Tiles with tumbled and leathered finishes for more of an ancient timeworn effect. Tumbled or slightly chiseled edges with pitting from time to time. Ceramics made from hand that are perfectly imperfected. Porcelain that is inspired by artisans years ago, to capture a more heritage design effect. No matter the size of project, we feel there’s a call to add a sense of depth to it.
Truly, The return to color isn’t about trends. It’s about memory, warmth, and love. Kind of like vintage finds or family Hand-me-downs. Simply put— pieces that carry stories and a life lived well. Why not embody this with tile or even counter top choices!?
We’ve got some ideas…🤝
Nothin’ wrong with a little dust— it’s all part of the process. @kathrynkeenerdesigns.
This project is turning out beautifully. We love seeing the progress! We’re honored to be a part of it.

A few of our favorites when it comes to tile layouts. These worked out perfectly using our handcrafted Artisan Collection in Cream 2x8.
Each pattern completes a completely different look and finish. With fun tile layouts, it’s crucial to know whether you want more tile pattern to show in the overall space, or less, as grout color can change the look significantly. For instance if you ran a straight stack vertical tile pattern in the Cream 2x8, and wanted to go with a more similar grout color to your desired tile, you may get a more subtle and overall light and airy completion. Or, imagine you ran a herringbone finish in the 2x8 Cream for a bathroom floor, and went with a dark grout color, you’d have way more of the tile layout expressing itself due to that darker color of grout! Both are beautiful options indeed, and both complete a whole different vibe entirely. Of course these are all personal preferences, but definitely something to keep in mind when calling out your tile layouts! 🤝
And so it begins. ⚒️

A collection that is an instant classic— “Peninsula” by @artobrick. This incredible collection is all about the delft influence. Peninsula mainly consists of a subtle white background, light blue detail with whimsical lacey designs, and slightly rustic edges showing the red clay that line is fired, on to truly give Peninsula a time stamp of the early 17th century influence.
FUN FACT:
Delft tiles originated in the Netherlands from the 1600s, evolving from imported Chinese blue-and-white porcelain and earlier Middle Eastern designs, becoming popular for decorating Dutch homes with biblical, maritime, and everyday scenes on easily cleanable earthenware.

We’re headed up to Palo Alto, California tomorrow to visit our friends over at @carmelstoneimports. A big goal for us in 2026, is to grow our slab stock even more— tomorrow we’re starting that process.
We of course have some options in mind already, but we’d love some feedback from all of you! What are some new slab options that you’d like to see stocked here at the shop this year!?
Drop some options below!👇👇👇
All smiles as we finish out this last month of 2025! Thankful for another incredible year.
Stumbled across some photos today of our shop, back when we were 5 years young! So much hard work, late nights, early mornings, times of brief discouragement, growth, good times, hard times, ups and downs, blood, sweat, and tears, and yet here we are still standing strong nearly 20 years later— incredible. We just had to share these photos from then, compared to now. Talk about a comeback story. Let’s keep it rolling.
We’re so thankful to be here. THANK YOU for the continued support!
SLAB CHECK!
Our slab selection just keeps growing. These slabs move fast! Make sure to drop in soon to secure yours.
