Live. Love. Party.
It was love at first sight. His eyes met Ms. Pea’s curves, and the rest is history. After all who wouldn’t fall in love with Ms. Pea’s modern twist on an old classic?
I fell hard for Ms. Pea too. This classic wingback chair with modern black and white upholstery is perfect for the swankiest sitting rooms. Compliment this hip chair with a Mid Century Modern Chartreuse lamp, and turquoise accents. You can find Ms. Pea at Heima Store, a Philippines based shop with lots of lovely wonders.
Live in an updated version of your mom and pop’s home with this Savoy Penny Round, and incorporate this playful mosaic into a backsplash or powder room floor.
Keep spreading the love, and invite over your friends and family and host your own retro dinner party!

Chinoiserie Me!
A playful and eclectic space that incorporates Chinoiserie inspired items and Mod-tastic pieces creates an exciting space to entertain family and friends! This space incorporates the Kelly Wearstler Imperial Trellis wallpaper, and you can integrate our Imperial Trellis Mosaic for easy cleaning and sparkle.
You can recreate the rest of this space with Dark Turquoise wall paint, the Ikea Docksta table, Black West Elm Overlapping Squares Chairs, and a Red Pagoda Chinoiserie Chandelier.
Accessorize this look with turquoise, white, red, coral, and mustard. This Curvy Chrysanthemum Vase looks stellar against the dark turquoise walls, and this White Scalloped Bowl brings out the white in the Dubarry Trellis Mosaic. Be sure to add Chinoiserie touches with this Mustard Yellow Mod Tea Pot.
Start brewing some tea, and mull over this dining room idea!
A Special Thanks to beachbungalow8.blogspot.com for the inspiration!
Leave a commentI ♥ Herringbone
If you are looking for a unique look for your floors, walls, and textiles you should definitely consider the Herringbone pattern. This Chevron-like pattern was first seen in the fashion world, and ever since Designers stepped outside the box and incorporated it into tile patterns and textiles we just can’t get enough of it!
Create the Herringbone pattern with our Urban Timber, Subway Tiles, and ask us about our Herringbone Mosaics. Herringbone is an updated alternative to the Brick pattern, and when perfectly designed you can lead the viewer’s eye in a particular direction. Get savvy on Herringbone and pick up a few essentials like Herringbone glassware, spruce up your sofa with Herringbone Pillows, design your own rug at Jonathan Adler, and don’t be afraid to embrace this chic pattern on your walls with paint or wallpaper!

Interlocking Circles Giveway Winner
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Interlocking Circles Giveaway. It has been exciting to see your feedback, and see experience the rally behind many of the contestants.
We have decided that the contest was too close to call. The votes were so close, and the comments were so plentiful, that we couldn’t help but get excited about both projects! Mission Stone & Tile has decided to aware the 30 square feet of the product to both Shandi H and Karen V. We think both of the them have exciting installation ideas. A commercial application will be fun behind Shandi’s bar, and Karen V’s laundry room installation will be an inspiration for all home renovators!
Now the only question is : WHICH COLOR WILL THEY CHOOSE??
Shandi's Bar Backsplash
Shandi’s Story:
See attached, but it’s super gross right now. The current owner is in the gas-station business & took advice from a broker that he should make it like a sports bar to get people in there (hence the gigantic quantity of televisions).
The restaurant is in Nashville, on Belmont Blvd between PM & Cha-Cha…it’s currently open as La Fiesta, but will be changing in the next month to our restaurant—still Mexican, but I get to attack the interiors & my fiance is attacking the menu! Our plan is to make an environment warm & inviting, so people just want to hang out there…and pitchers of margaritas never hurt!!! The bar gets an entire facelift…mirrors down, wall cabinets down, etc…etc, so use your imagination when you look @ this picture & imagine a designer took charge of the space. I would install those tiles as a feature wall behind the bar, with floating shelves next to it for liquor bottles, and much more….

Karen V’s Story
Take into consideration that this room needs some paint (probably a nice gray/taupe, like the kitchen; or I’m considering a “gravender” {gray-lavender}) and if I should win and we don’t have to buy tile I would love to put in front loading w/d with a marble counter on top….ohhhh, be still my heart.
I’m sending a couple of photos, as you can see the dark circles would look so good with my cork, don’t you think? Not to mention the classy tiles giving each other a wink between the two rooms! I saw the request for photos in the Twitter account. Even though this area is my laundry room, it is right off the kitchen and it is the entrance that just about everybody uses. I love the photo you have of it in the “runner” pattern, that looks really nice, I could see it here.
—————————————————————————————————–
In the meantime–WHICH COLOR do you think the contestants should use? Please leave us a COMMENT
Stay tuned for installation photos from Shandi H and Karen V! We are looking forward to the transformation.

I want to make my kitchen AMAZING!
I’m thinking about remodeling my kitchen. I live in a townhouse, so it’s a pretty small space. It’s a galley layout, so I don’t have a lot to work with either.
One idea I had was to add a one of a kind backsplash using mosaic tile. Mosaic tiles are great because they come in all colors, textures, shapes and styles. I’m only limited by my own imagination.
If I were to define my style, I would say it was more elegant or traditional. But for some reason I’m drawn to some of these free form mural types of backsplashes. They look fun and funky. There are lots of colors and textures.
Here are a few I really like.
This one was featured on The Kitchen Blog.
On the Home Renovations page on About.com there is a great selection of backsplashes. Here’s my favorite.
Mission Stone & Tile has another favorite of mine.
I’d love to get your suggestions. So please feel free to post links to your favorite kitchen backsplash in the comment section below.
I look forward to seeing your ideas.
