Favorites: Oceanside Glass Tile

How enjoyable it has been to share some of my favorite things with you! Oceanside glass tile has twenty-nine colors, with three finish options; glossy, iridescent and matte. Along with liner bars and accents in any color and/or finish. Pick a blend they have created, or create your own. You are sure to find what you are looking for! My favorite is the Geologie and their newest series Harmonia, in which glass meets stone. Words don’t justify Oceanside’s beauty, but pictures sure help! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Here are just a few up close examples of colors, sizes, decos and trims available. These are Oceanside’s newest additions! Harmonia is their newest series for the 2011 year, mixing travertine with some of their finest glass colors. These are just a few of many options available in this new line. I can’t wait to use these in someone’s home!

These next nine different mosaics are the shapes and sizes available in the Tessera series. Once again all sizes are available in any of their twenty-nine colors and three finishes!

Geologie is a series I introduced you to in a previous post, where slate meets glass in wonderful colors, shapes and sizes!
I mentioned decos and trim at the beginning, so here are a few just as a little teaser.

Favorites: Carrara Marble

There are a few things I am consistently drawn towards. Carrrara Marble is one of those timeless classics I love for almost every design. Open any design magazine and you are guaranteed to see Carrara in there somewhere! Scroll through the pictures and notice the subway tiles, herringbone pattern, hexagon, basketweave, trims and moldings all in Carrara Marble; and that is just the beginning!

With so many sizes and shapes available, your design options are endless. Here are just a few unique tiles I love!

12″ x 24″ Textured Carrara Tile & 8″ x 16″ Multi Textured Carrara Mosaic
(Up close this multi textured mosaic is the perfect combination of polished, honed and split face finishes)
12″ x 12″ Carrara Basketweave and 12″ x 12″ Weaved Basketweave (Yes! It really is dimensional!)
12″ x 12″ Bullet Carrara Mosaic & 12″ x 12″ Magic Carrara Mosaic
12″ x 12″ Carrara/Glass Mosaic
(Add glass and quickly discover a timeless modern edge)
Add last but surely not least, here are a few pictures of some great Carrara fireplace surrounds.

Let your imagination run wide with one of my favorites! How can you incorporate Carrara in your house?!
