Statement Fireplace

 

“We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth, we build them for the warmth of the soul; we build them to dream by, to hope by, to home by.” – Edna Ferber

 

 

 

 

 

“I said to myself that I shall try to make my life like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it and so go out themselves to warm and  cheer.” – George Matthew Adams

Delightful.  Warmth of the Soul.  Cheer.

These are perfect words to describe fireplaces.  So if the fireplace evokes such positivity, why not create a fireplace in your home that is equal to these words??  We love it when clients step outside the box, #resisttheordinary and select tile that really fits their homes personality.

Set an appointment soon to choose tile perfect for your fireplace. Be sure to bring plenty of pictures, not just of the fireplace, but of the entire room it is in. Take closeups of the rug, the drapes, art, anything that will help us help you choose just the perfect tile!

]]> Did you know there are many, family owned, artist driven, handmade in the USA Tile Studios? There are and we LOVE them!! Why choose handmade? Simply put, handmade tile has good mo-jo. These artists have chosen to live their passion, they spend their days molding, pressing and carving clay, testing glazes and designing.

Who doesn’t love shopping at a local market, meeting an artist and selecting just the right art piece for your home? Selecting handmade art tile is much like that experience, and while you don’t actually get to meet the tile artist at Tile Sensations, you can definitely get a feel for each artist when picking up each piece. You can feel the love that is put into art tile and you can definitely see the artists personality. Some are solo studios, some have teams that help them. To a tile artist, work is play.

A handmade tile artist wants you to have exactly what you want, they get joy knowing that a client has commissioned them to be a part of their project. Whether you choose vibrant colors, modern styles or a hand pressed subway tile your handmade tile selection will bring a warmth and charm to your space. Art Tile is Art, with a bit of Science added in.

]]> I just read a text from a client that has helped reinforce a design decision I made earlier today.  The text read “Hi, Jennifer, I wasn’t sure if I sent you a picture of my finished fireplace.  Surely worth the wait and the addition of more textured tiles. Andres is a magician!  Really love the outcome and wanted to say thanks so much for all your help!”

In this case the handmade tile ordered had a 5 week lead time.  For a client hoping to finish the project in a few weeks, this was the first project delay.  The selected installer had a scheduled vacation to Europe.  This was the second delay for the clients schedule.  Lastly, when the tile arrived it didn’t have as much texture as we hoped, so we ordered more tile, another 5 weeks, Yikes!  It was well worth the wait.  The fireplace is beautiful.

In addition to the tile installation, we recessed the area for the TV and Glennie had a custom mantle made.  Glennie now has a fireplace that balances well with the beautiful furniture pieces in her home.  It is a focal point, yet does not over power the room.  And… It was worth the wait.

Good design cannot always be accomplished in the time we hope. Great design takes thoughtful planning and patience when things aren’t quite on schedule.  So take your time, make thoughtful choices and try not to be frustrated when things are a bit behind schedule.
