Ooh La La! It’s summer and time for sitting on the patio with a cool drink. In the spirit of the summer we’ve found a few tile looks that dress up that ho-hum exterior space and turn it into your personal Shangri-la.
Casa Dolce Casa, a favorite line for its sophistication and subtlety, features two products for use in exterior applications. Vetro Glass combines infused color with a light iridescence on the surface. Clays, a porcelain stoneware, blends warm tones with a soft texture.

Seattle architectural mainstay Weber Thompson unveiled the Aljoya senior living project on Mercer Island, which received the Gold Nugget Award for Best Senior Housing Project. We are grateful to be a part of theproject, with materials such as the functional and beautiful Abisko wood-look porcelain.
Sustainable companies tend to seek each other out, and so we were excited when we were approached by a new prefabricated home builder to participate as the tile supplier. But these aren’t just any old prefab homes. These homes are beautifully designed, contemporary structures that fit right in to our Northwest surroundings. But don’t take my word for it.

A beautiful home in the Barbee Mill waterfront development in Renton, Washington. Built by Conner Homes with tile done by Riverside Interiors. The kitchen backsplash features the London Grey Micene Mosaic.
The bathroom sink backsplash is Amour Metal 1×1 Mosaic over a stunning granite countertop.
The fireplace in the sitting room off the kitchen extends the Micene accent–linking the design between the spaces.
And the other fireplace is clad in the warm, dark brown of the Matouche Croc porcelain tile.
Jordan Iverson is a custom and spec home builder in Eugene, Oregon who creates tasteful and well-crafted residences. He recently shared with me his portfolio, which includes a lot of nice tile work.
Jordan’s use of ledger stone for interior backsplashes, accent walls, and fireplaces is a beautiful example of bringing the outside in–a perfect fit for the Pacific Northwest. In this house, the ledger stone serves as a design tie-in that carries through from bar backsplash to living room to stairwell.

Bagley Custom Interiors has done it again, but this time in a really big way. Here she has taken the Anticate Stained Bronzed Marco 2″x2″ and offset in with the Torreon travertine floor, in an amazing Queen Anne Highlands home.
A little side note, Bagley is not only the only interior designer on Installation Spotlight but she also recently became a featured designer at the Seattle Design Center. Good job Bonnie and keep the pictures coming we love them.
Kaizen tile and stone has done it again with a really daring and challenging design. Here they have taken the Brazilain Rust slate and cut it into 3″ strips, creating their own offset amazingly awesome mosaic. Good work, it looks great!
Another Installation Spotlight from the only interior designer to be featured in Intallation Spotlight, Bonnie Bagley. Here she has used 10×18 Fusion Brown on the walls of the entire shower. The reflective nature of the Fusion complements the complete glass surround and the lines lend themselves well to the spa-like feel of the room. Thanks Bonnie, it looks awesome.
