Hi all, Over the years I've enjoyed adapting my hand made ceramic tiles for use in furniture. In Fall of 2014 I posted photos and a description of a coffee table with a tile top in a Navajo rug design. You can view it here. More recently I took a design from an Amish quilt pattern called The Amish Star for use in the top of an end table. I'm reminded that so many existing designs can be adapted for use in tile including the floor tile in an Oriental Rug motif as used in the Adamson House feature

Creating a small apartment design that works for a couple included imagining ample storage and seamless space flow. Since the apartment only had one room to start with, an abundance of creativity was poured in, making it functionally expand to a one-bedroom apartment.
