As The Tile Turns

SEPTEMBER 11, 2020

There’s no denying that mosaics are hot right now. We like to think we’re ahead of the curve, however, we’ve long regarded mosaics as one of the most intricately beautiful options for adding a touch of artistry to any space. Another longtime enthusiast? Allison of Allison Eden Studios , who deserves credit for pushing the envelope with this classic, yet trend forward look.

Ceramic graffiti is a wonderful thing and we love covering it here at Diary of a Tile Addict. But there are still people who don’t know that it exists, or where to find artists and installations.

This beautiful residence in the classic Spanish style ties the exterior and hardscape together with the warm-toned travertine cladding in Spalted Oak. The detail work in this project makes it truly special, with stone-clad arches, curved walls, columns, and fine craftsmanship around outlets and light fixtures. The prebuilt corners from Realstone made the installation on multiple columns fast and easy, saving on time and material costs.
