We are starting with a company going on its third generation of female tile makers – Kibak Tile. The story of Kibak Tile begins in the 50s with the founder’s mother Gudrun emigrating from Denmark to California with her husband. Finally Carli, who grew up around Kibak Tile, began hand-painting tiles in high-school.

Your contractor will thank you for not having to pour a cement basin. Made in the U.S.A.

Shown above is a perfect example of the classic 3×6 subway tile, but with added dashes of warmth, thanks to the use of 16×16 Basalt stone field tile , wood, and warm metal. The designer didn’t stop with the walls – instead they opted to finish the ceilings in both tile and wood! Love the wall? Utilize a fireplace.
