Love It!: Agate Tile

Happy Monday all! I have a good, but thoroughly exhausting weekend. How was yours? I'm hoping that the nicer temperatures and rain we got are a sign that spring is here--to stay.

On to design-related topics...I think you all know how much I've been crushing on sliced agate lately, which is why it'll come as no surprise how floored I was when I clapped eyes on these Chalcedony Gemstone tiles, available from Cercan Tile in Toronto. How are you feeling about this tile?

Love It: Michael S. Smith and Ann Sacks

Athens Silver Cream tile by Ann Sacks - Love!

Intrigued by the Ann Sacks LED-lit backsplash in Carrie and Big's Sex and The City 2 apartment, I found myself on the designer's website to see more.

While there are a ton of beautiful items on the site, I was immediately drawn to the Cosmati collection by Michael S. Smith.

I love a grey tile and the clean look of a white bathroom or kitchen, so this Michael S. Smith Cosmatiemilio grid (incarrara, nero marquin and marino blue) with an Alexandria border (carrara and marino blue) really speaks to me. Some other tile styles:

Valencia

Palais Royale

Venice

 

Alexandria

Seville Deco in Willow from Smith's Labyrinth Collection

I also thought this flooring (Parquet de Versailles in Bronze and Shagreen in Multicolor Wash) by Charles Stone was pretty cool - it can be used inside and outdoors.
