I was recently passed on this image from a client who was looking for the perfect green for her own home renovation. Well,I think she found it. What a stunning green-green is one of those colours you need to get exactly right or it can be terribly wrong. Too bright is hard to live with and too dark becomes heavy . In this elegant space the green in my opinion is just right. The cubic encaustic tiles look stunning and the grey/black and white tones work so well against the green wall and the white wall in the background.The cubic tile design also harmonises so well with the mix of styles in this home. This design can be laid in 3 different ways to create 3 totally different patterns. Despite being tricky on the eyes it creates an interest and holds an elegance in its uniformity. Whether it is on a floor or wall this tile will always create the impact it deserves.

I love receiving new designs.I rip open the box to pull out yet another gorgeous patterned encaustic tile. The 3 new designs that arrived yesterday are all very different and would suit totally different spaces-I love that !!!!! The different atmospheres you can create with different colours and designs never ceases to amaze me. I can already imagine how stunning each one of these reproduction tiles would look when laid.

I recently visited the Shubar in Westfield Bondi Junction to have a look at the Moroccan Bazaar which was the chosen encaustic tile for the refurbishment of their store. I was delighted with the result .I love the contrast of the polished concrete bordering the tiles and the rug effect that has been created. The store has been tastefully styled with simply a large display table painted in silver, shelving , a ladder and a vase of flowers.With the tiles as the feature,no more is needed. The shoes are lovely and I recommend a little visit to the Shubar next time you are heading to the Junction.

Michele Bell is the Interior Designer for MBA architects. Recently Michele put together a lovely scheme including the use of the black and white circle encaustic tiles as a splash back in the kitchen she was designing. The result is very slick and stylish-the tiles being the focal point however,not taking away from the harmony of the whole space. I love the green and blue scheme used in conjunction with the black and white circle creating contrast and interest. Looks great.

Jamie's Italian recently opened its doors in Pitt St, Sydney .The look, ambient and rustic.The tones, muted and warm. the restaurant seats approx 200 and offers a blend of quality Italian food, great service and good value. I was thrilled when I was contacted to put together a selection of antique tiles for the bar front for Jamie's restaurant. The montage of antique tiles instantly creates that old world feel that is so full of character and so European. Next time you are downtown Pitt St, pop in for a meal and enjoy the ambience.

I have a lovely new design that has recently arrived . I think this would be the perfect tile to freshen up a bathroom wall, glorify a table top or to use as the facade of a counter in a mediterranean style restaurant. It reminds me of my days travelling around the Greek Islands and the gorgeous white washed buildings  with the classic blue doors and windows that always bring a smile to my face. Whichever way this encaustic tile is used it will bring a lightness and a joy to the space.

Thank you so much to Country Style for featuring 2 of my encaustic tile designs in their November issue. Blue Spanish Villa and white Moorish Night  are 2 designs that work beautifully in older style country homes .Both these designs are available in other colour ways or can be created in a colour of your choice. They could even be used together in the same space for something a little different. There are some lovely homes featured in the November Issue, and lots of inspiring ideas for those renovators or refurbishers.Thank you country style.

I have just received these images of two newly refurbished kitchens that have made the focal point their encaustic tiled splashbacks. The first kitchen was designed by MG Projects and Design who cover interior design, renovation consulting,product sourcing and project management. They chose the Blue Clover design for this kitchen which looks stunning and elegant. The second image shows the Moroccan Bazaar in another stunning and elegant splashback. I love the simple line of these two kitchens and the use of the encaustic tiles to catch your eye and create a point of interest. 

BlueGreen guesthouse in Bangalow NSW is a stylish and atmospheric hideaway from the hustle and bustle of life.Recently, the owners have done a little refurb and made the space even more delightful and colourful.I absolutely love how they have enhanced the entranceway with a montage of designs that make the space memorable and exotic.The guesthouse is a great  place for a getaway and a little R and R.

I have recently received another stunning image of a  kitchen enhanced by the Moorish Night splash back. Once again, the Moorish Night have given the kitchen some contrast and focal point. The kitchen looks so fresh and inviting . Anne Plumb the designer has done a beautiful job designing this space.I think Anne from Plumb Interior Design has definitely chosen the perfect tile to add another dimension to this space.
