Vaughn Backsplash

Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn selected a beautiful 1x1 8mm brown/garnet glass for their backsplash. With a little guidance, Mr. Vaughn installed it himself this past weekend. We think it looks great! :)

Dyer Home

Designed by Mrs. Dyer and Creative Tile's Becca Bertok, the tile work for this new home was almost a year-and-a-half in the making. The Dyer family was looking for a classy and minimalistic approach to the tile designs, which I think we achieved nicely.

Construction was completed by Kaufman Builders, and the tile work was done by Hoover's Flooring. Call Creative Tile for contact information for the persons listed.

The Master Bath features a 2x4 polished Antik Onyx border and Chocolate Travertine rope, Opera Aida porcelain, dots of 2" Cafe Emperador marble, and Crema Marfil marble slabs.




The whole house, excluding the bedrooms, features 17" Opera Aida porcelain flooring which Creative Tile imports from Argentina. You can see in the photo below that Aida offers a calm and beautiful neutral palette, resembling an Ivory Travertine.


Natural Autumn Slate was installed on the porches in a Versaille pattern.


The additional bathrooms were all similarly designed using a classic art deco staple, 3x6 gloss white subway tile, and a handful of 5/8" mosaics. The study bath, below, features 5/8" Mosaico Onyx.


Both girls' baths, one pink and one blue, feature 5/8" Mosaico Opera.


The gameroom bar features Opera Aida on the floor and Ubatuba countertops.

The gameroom bath has a mixture of 1x1 Nazca Mosaic, a beautiful mix of slate, glass, and copper, Aida Harlequin on the shower floor, 10" Landscapes Meadow porcelain on the main floor and shower walls.


The home's kitchen, and certainly the show piece of the design, was designed in a circular fashion.

On the backsplash, we used a 2" honed and filled Ivory Travertine, to allow for the curve of the wall, along with a travertine and metal border and Durango Travertine pencil. Ubatuba countertops were fabricated to follow the radius.

The area behind the range features 4x8 honed and filled Ivory Travertine and Noce Travertine harlequin and rope with 1x1 metal dots.


It's fun taking a home design from this...
and this...

Winters Master Bath

Designed by Mr. and Mrs. Winters and Creative Tile's Becca Bertok, this Master Bath recently underwent an ADA Remodel making it much more accessible to the home owners. Walls were torn out to create a roll-in shower and a larger turning radius.

However, form did not follow function. Not only is the bath easier to use, it's also much prettier! :o) Remodel work by Nino Colarossi of C & G Services and tile installation by Galen Sutphin. The original ADA Remodel plans were drawn up by Wayne Rogers of Catalyst Architects, and Miss Judy Norman faux painted the walls. Call Creative Tile to receive contact information for the persons listed.

The bathroom features Creative Tile's Athena Sparta Porcelain, tumbled Dark Emperador Marble, and tumbled Espresso Travertine.
