The following are samples of completed tile projects.

Ann Sacks Tile Co commissioned this Dahlia mural for their London showroom. The turquoise tiles will be grouted in place.

Here’s piece we recently completed for a private residence installation. The homeowners were admirers of Natalie’s work and found our larger Live Oak piece on our website but asked that we scale it down for their home. Here’s the finished product.

This is the image of the completed piece which was installed in April, 2010. We took a lot of time to find the right design that would please everyone, and add to the sophistication of the space.  Each tile is mounted to a 2.5″ thick plywood box mounted on the back with security hardware so the tiles are immovable. Because the alcove is 15″ thick, we wanted to pull the tiles away from the wall so they felt truly architectural as well as graphically stunning yet restful.
The result is soothing and yet at the same time enlivens the space.

Residential Installation, Daphne, Alabama

These tiles were purchased by a couple building a home in Daphne, Alabama. They purchased the tiles from Natalie at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, New York City, two years ago.

Here’s what the homeowner had to say “We bought the tiles not knowing how much space we had to fill but just knew it would engage the eye and compliment the overall themes we we had in mind (nature and the sea).  We went for a more random display than the rectangular layout we originally envisioned.”

Nautilus

This grouping was commissioned by the Kohler Corporation for its annual shareholders’ meeting.  It will be grouted in place.

This client loved the flowing carved lines that follow the undulation of the handmade tile.  They were also attracted to the idea of using ceramic wall tile, instead of a more traditional wall mural.

Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, Brown Deer, Wisconsin, 2009

The fact that our tiles are handmade really impressed this client.

Frankenmuth Insurance Company, Frankenmuth, Michigan, 2009

Our vibrant glaze colors really stand out against this neutral wall. This client was looking for art tile and “fell in love” with the undulating quality of our handmade tile.
