I am so happy with our new antique tiled pool deck. It has turned out exactly as I had visualised. The feeling I wanted to create was one of comfort, exoticness and impact .I wanted to create the feeling of sitting around the poolside in some exotic setting whether it be in Bali, Morocco or France. The stunning antique encaustic tiles are from Argentina and carry 100 years of history and character.The greens ,browns and yellows of the tiles blend in with the surrounding grass , trees and wooden fence ,the red umbrella and cushions create the contrast and give the deck that oomph that I so wanted. The tiles have really made this space a feature around our pool and an absolute pleasure to the eye and to the foot!

The Belgian Floral antique tiles have really created an amazing impact here in this stunning home which is a treat to have the privilege to walk into and explore. Gaby is a photographer and has an incredible eye for all things eclectic ,colourful ,sophisticated yet homely. She also has the talent to put everything together so well and create the perfect balance. I love Gaby's fearlessness of throwing colours together and I think this is the key to creating that special space…. not being fearful. The antique tiles around the fireplace have created a feature on the feature wall and tonally work so well with the pink and with surrounding furnishings. A warm,inviting , exotic space has been created and just beckons you to want to grab a book and a cup of tea and sit around the fire.

I love receiving images once a job has been complete and there is such an outstanding outcome. I am very into the wow factor and an entrance is the perfect place to add a little wow. It sets the mood and pretty much indicates you are walking into a home, shop, cafe, bar or other that is going to be interesting. It is the stepping stone from the outside in or between two different spaces. A great entranceway draws you in and creates warmth and impact. I recently received these images and they put a big smile on my face. The Belgian Blue antique encaustic tiles look so amazing here in this entrance next to the beautiful old wooden doors and against the polished concrete floor and the floorboards. What a stunning job and what a difference the tiles have made here.
