I’d never seen subway tile floor-to-ceiling on all four walls before–I had to have it!

Classic Kitchen Made Modern

A puzzle featuring a historic Christmas dinner scene inspired the floor-to-ceiling white subway tile design in this classically detailed kitchen. The tile design is unique yet still in keeping with the 1900s aesthetic, while the open floor plan makes it conducive to modern living. Julie chose the Lansdale Carrara marble subway tile for an elevated take on a timeless design. The subdued beige and grey coloring perfectly complements the cream-colored cabinets. The affordable price point–just $14.59 per sq. ft.–allowed her to use this tile more extensively.

Featuring: Lansdale Carrara

Warm & Inviting Sunroom

Sleek Adoni Black slate floor tile adds depth to this bright sunroom. In addition to hiding dirt and providing traction for wet feet (this room serves as an entrance from the outdoor pool), the rich, dark natural stone contrasts beautifully with the ivory walls, ceiling and furniture. The floor tile’s subtle veining and stylish herringbone layout feel authentic to the space, which features striking architectural details–note the stone lion’s head in the built-in fountain.

Featuring: Adoni Black.

I love the size of the Noir 3″ x 6″ tile–nice and small, just like the space!

Crisp & Clean Mudroom

Noir slate subway tile graces the floor of this sun-drenched mudroom. The brick-lay pattern complements the home’s sophisticated character, while the natural stone’s texture and veining add an organic touch, enhancing the space’s warm, earthy feel.

Featuring: Noir Subway and Noir Threshold.

Finely Detailed Black & White Bathroom

Here, as in the other main bathrooms, Julie showcases her expertise through masterful trim work. The pairing of ceramic white subway tile with Black Marquina marble trim creates a deceptively simple design. Thin lines of Black Marquina Somerset trim run along the edges of the shower doorway and across the top and bottom of the wall, providing subtle, elegant framing, while black grout further enhances the visual contrast. We love how Julie balances the tonal values of the space with the penny-round tile floor, where the white border and grout joints create an inverse effect of the wall design.

Featuring: Black Marquina, Black Maruqina Somerset, Penny Round Matte White, Penny Round Matte Black, Black Marquina Curb, Black Marquina Skirting and Imperial Bianco Gloss

Similar materials, when used with different grout colors, can create drastically different looks.

A Teenager’s Chic, Cool-Toned Bathroom

Proving that great design is in the details, this lovely bathroom features the same white ceramic subway tile as the previous one, but pairs it with Hampton Carrara marble for a completely different aesthetic. The stylish, expressive grey marble is showcased in the Cornice chair rail, the window framing, the shower niche and the hexagon tile floor. Whisper grey grout is used throughout, enhancing the natural tones of the marble and creating soft lines in the brick-lay subway tile, while still providing contrast.

Featuring: Hampton Carrara Capital, Hampton Carrara Cronice, Hampton Carrara Hex, Hampton Carrara Skirting, Imperial Bianco Gloss and Hampton Carrara Subway.

Timelessly Elegant Marble Bathroom

This fashionable bathroom exudes vintage charm. The Hampton Carrara subway tile features subtle beige and grey veining, creating a contemporary color palette of both cool and warm neutrals. The Black Marquina Barnes and Somerset trim pieces provide a striking transition from the tile to the painted wall. The blush paint feels fresh, while evoking a sense of a bygone era. The mix of feminine colors and details (note the gold hardware and gossamer curtains) with solid black trim pieces and cabinets creates the signature bold elegance that makes Julie’s designs so appealing.

Featuring: Black Marquina Barnes, Hampton Carrara, Hampton Carrara Cornice, Black Marquina Curb, Hampton Niles Mosaic, Hampton Carrara Skirting and Hampton Carrara Subway.

Chef’s Delight

Join Julie Howard as she takes you through this fabulous home featuring two stylish and spacious kitchens.

Varsity Blues

Featuring charming pops of pattern and lovely blue hues throughout, this home is truly one of a kind.

Refined Rustic

Textile-inspired patterns set the tone for this contemporary home.

The post A Step Inside: Julie Howard’s “Storybook” Estate appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Keep scrolling for a closer look at the inspiring spaces in this elegantly chic home!

Living Room

The fireplace is the focal point of this bright and open living room. The Noir Honed limestone tile with its subtle silver veining creates a stunning harth with lots of visual texture. The dark fireplace against the white wall creates a solid base, which is balanced by the large abstract painting above.

Kitchen

In a house dubbed Chef’s Delight, you know the kitchen is going to be the star. Of course, the delight of this house is that it boasts not one but two kitchens with gorgeous tile choices in both. The primary kitchen features the Antique Mirror Bevel Glass tile above the stove. This reflective tile adds depth and shine to the room and complements the linear forms of the hood.

Scullery Kitchen

This second kitchen, or scullery kitchen, features more brilliant design choices. The Noir Honed tile (which we saw earlier on the fireplace) is paired with the Silver Mist honed limestone tile for a sophisticated checkerboard pattern. As Julie explained in the video, the linear veining on this tile creates a pattern within a pattern, but the Silver Mist tile is installed in alternating diagonals to maintain a sense of order and flow.

The Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Powder blends blue and grey tones for an elegant backsplash that complements both the dark grey walls and grey and black floor tiles. Though the obvious choice for this backsplash might have been to use the same limestone tile as the floor, we’re glad Julie took a risk on this unexpected tile choice. The blue-grey elongated subway tile creates a beautiful transition between the white cabinets and granite countertops.

Bar

This gorgeous bar area is perfect for entertaining. The Look Avio handmade-look tile features variations in its blue-green coloring for a natural sense of movement. While handmade tiles often feature uneven edges, these handmade-look tiles have more uniformity, allowing for the neat straight lines accentuated by the white grout. The result is a highly designed look that creates order without being overly homogeneous.

Primary Bathroom

Nothing is more luxurious than marble, and this primary bathroom uses the Firenze Carrara to optimal effect, creating a clean, classic space. The herringbone pattern adds interest in the floor while maintaining the elegance of the room and the marble’s grey veining pairs nicely with the wooden cabinets and intricate, antique rug.

The Firenze Carrara tile extends to the shower walls, creating a lush, luxurious and rejuvenating space.

Laundry Room

Don’t you long to linger between loads in this lovely and inviting laundry room? The floral motif of the Elaizig Hex tile adds sophisticated whimsy to this room. We love how the bee prints above the sink tie in both thematically and aesthetically with the floral-inspired patterned tile.

Jack and Jill Bathroom

The custom tile design created with the Black and White Quarter Round tile is an unexpected moment that adds character to this charming Jack and Jill bathroom. The simple color palette gives this room depth while allowing the floor tile to claim the focal point of the space.

Kids’ Bathroom

The Imperial Black Matte Rhombus tile used in this charming kids’ bathroom proves that you can have fun in black and white. The shape is simple, yet playful–perfect for children–but can easily age as kids grow. With the right accessories, this room is suitable for young kids all the way up to teenagers and young adults.

That concludes our tour of the elegantly chic Chef’s Delight. We hope you loved Julie’s design choices as much as we did!

The Peaceful Primary Bath

The neutral color palette is the key to maintaining a peaceful vibe in this super-luxurious bathroom. The Calacata Evora marble tile with its subtle honey gold and grey veining creates a warm opulence that balances the wonderful movement of the dramatic gold, grey, brown and ochre veins on the Macchia Vecchia porcelain tile. The large-format wall tiles have fewer grout lines, making this bathroom appear even bigger than it is.

The Shapes Elongated Hex mosaic adds interest as well as traction to the shower floor. The off-white coloring of this porcelain tile ties in with the room’s neutral tones, while the unique shape adds an extra sense of movement.

The Luxe Guest Bath

Floor-to-ceiling Ashford Carrara marble tile from Rush River Stone creates balance in this beautifully-luxe bathroom. Featuring a stark white background with vivid grey and silver veining, this sumptuous natural stone tile is as chic as it is inviting. The mix of shapes, large rectangular blocks for the walls and smaller hexagons for the floor, create distinction while maintaining cohesion.

The Ashford Carrara polished skirting elevates the shower threshold and makes the space look finished and polished.

The Fabulous Laundry Room

This room takes laundry from chore to delight! The handmade look of the Track Stack White Two Tone mosaic tile adds an artisanal feel to this grand room, while the dramatic gold veining in the Macchia Vecchia porcelain tile is complemented by the gold fixtures. View more inspirational rooms on our 10 Rooms That Will Make You Love Laundry Day blog post.

The Spa-Hotel Bath

The highly polished surface of the Savannah Antique porcelain tile reflects the natural light in this room, making this shower look bright and inviting. The tile’s white and cream base is accentuated with soft blue, grey and taupe veining which provide a lush neutral backdrop for the brass features.

The Modena marble mosaic tile brings geometric glamor to the shower floor. For more bathroom design inspiration, read our 16 Luxurious Bathroom Designs blog post.

We invite you to take a tour through this charming and stately home brimming with inspiring design choices that showcase some of our favorite tile.

Mudroom

Comfort and elegance combine to create this charming mudroom. Contemporary, yet timeless the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile provides balance to the bold reddish-brown walls and intricately patterned window coverings.

Powder Room

A wealth of beautiful textures and patterns meld to create intrigue and allure in this bold, yet pleasing powder room. The sculptural Harmony Silverleaf tile adds visual interest to the ceiling and complements the hanging crystals. While the soft white Meram Blanc Carra tile center the lower-half of the room in sleek comfort that contrasts the large floral wallpaper.

The elegant and classic Meram Blanc Carrara polished tile, rustic mirror, light-wood cabinetry and organic accents combine complex textures for a look that is both captivating and inviting.

Living Area

For the indoor/outdoor living area, Kelli takes a more minimalist approach. The bright white walls and Siberian Pearl Brushed marble floors create an airy open space filled with natural light. A simple color palette keeps focus on the seating area, where family and friends can gather.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of any home, and a place to find nourishment and build memories. The white counters and cabinetry work with the Retro Lino backsplash to make the space feel clean and vivid. The glass doors display the dishware for a lived-in feel.

The clear coat glaze on the Retro Lino subway tile reflects the light, providing extra illumination to the cooking area. Check out our post on Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for more inspiration.

Primary Bathroom

Soak in the lush neutral tones that create an opulent space, at once soft and bright. The brown veining in the Tresana Blanco Matte porcelain tile bring out the room’s color palette with subtle appeal that doesn’t detract from the bathroom’s clean luxuriousness. Browse our wide-assortment of bathroom tile for the perfect look for your next home project.

Boys’ Bathroom

This blue-plaid room invokes a classic boyhood feel. Straight lines and a monochromatic color scheme maintain a sense of order while still being youthful. The white grout line crossing through the Splendours Blue Night shower tile is an inverse to the white and blue wallpaper (find more shower tile on our website). While the more uniform Glass Nautical Blue backsplash creates a block of color that is strong without detracting from the rest of the room.

The subtle sheen of the Ionic White floor tile provides a sturdy, unassuming base to the patterns that play throughout the room.

Guest Bathroom

What guest wouldn’t feel at home stepping into this gorgeous shower? The Bulevar White ceramic tile has a subtle wavy texture that soothes the senses. The clean white tile also provides a gentle buffer between the bold patterned wallpaper and the marvelous McQueen Grey stone mosaic tile accent.

Guest Bathroom

The Legno limestone tile mimics the look of woodgrain to create an organic texture that is also durable. A warm grey palette and linear veining complement the textured accents in the cabinets and wall sconces. Read our post for even more luxurious bathroom design ideas.

Bar

The focal point of the home is this stunning bar. At once contemporary and reminiscent of retro glamor, the Antique Mirror Bevel tile and gorgeous gold and glass hanging lights are captivating without being obtrusive, making this the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail with friends.

The Antique Mirror Bevel tile reflects the fireplace and billiards room beyond, creating depth while still maintaining the intimacy of the space.

Laundry Room

Laundry is less of a chore in this beautifully designed room with its fresh, clean aesthetic. The soft blue and white color palette lend a calmness to this space. The solid, simple coloring of the walls and cabinetry bring a balance that allow for more interest in the floor tile, Decora Ornament Blue, which brings a sophisticated charm to the room.

Pool Bathroom

The Art Nouveau-inspired design on the Decora Redondo cement-look wall tile lend a classic elegance to this pool bathroom. The grey shapes perfectly balance the blue coral and candle used to accent the sink area, giving the room a subtle aquatic feel.

Selke recently completed a major renovation on the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home, and we couldn’t be more excited to share some of the gorgeous interior and exterior spaces–many of which feature tile from our exclusive Annie Selke collection–with you!

Front Entrance

The grand entrance makes a statement with a posh tiled fountain and brushed marble flooring that continues throughout the house. The luxurious Arctic White stone displays soft ivory coloring that effortlessly pulls out the warm, inviting tones in the exterior’s eye-catching pink walls.

A burst of stunning turquoise hues brings a fresh and invigorating feel to the space through our Glass Tropical Harbor Blend Hex mosaic. The hexagon-shaped glass tiles bounce light from surface to surface, drawing the eye into the crystal clear water.

Kitchen

Suited perfectly for Selke’s love of entertaining, the home’s contemporary kitchen is open concept with natural light boasting from floor-to-ceiling windows. Arctic White marble flooring continues from the front entrance, offering the perfect neutral backdrop for the kitchen’s true star–a dazzling tiled backsplash–to shine.

Selke’s striking backsplash features the Goldleaf Speckle from her exclusive Tile Shop collection. The ceramic tile commands attention with mirrored metallic gold splatters overlaying a cowhide-look textured surface. The gold accents glitter throughout the kitchen, reflecting the space’s sunny natural light for a true show-stopping moment.

The continued use of the Goldleaf Speckle in the backing of the open cabinetry and bookcase creates total cohesion within the space.

Primary Bathroom

The home’s primary bathroom offers a calming neutral moment within the house with various textures and materials in soft creams, ivories and greys. Its focal point, Selke’s concrete soaking tub, is highlighted by an eye-catching sculptural tile that breathes depth and dimension into the space.

Learn all about how to make a statement with sculptural and 3D tile here.

Transitioning from the bathroom’s floor to its shower walls, the Arctic White marble creates a lavish yet tranquil ambiance.

Further elevating the serenity of this stylish shower is the White, Grey & Black Pebbles Small mosaic flooring. Featuring smooth, rounded river pebbles, the mosaic offers a dose of rich, natural color while gently massaging the feet for a relaxing spa-like experience.

Guest Bedroom + Bathroom

Selke’s guest bedroom takes on a fresh, earthy theme of greens and blues, showcased in the whimsical leaf-printed textiles.

The Arctic White marble‘s soft veining brings the perfect amount of subtle movement to the space while adding hints of warmth to the cool-toned decor.

Continuing the refreshing, earthy theme into the guest bathroom, Selke went with the soft blue Artisanal Sky subway tile from our Annie Selke collection. This charming ceramic tile features gentle waves of texture and a unique crackle finish, beautifully mimicking the look of an authentic handmade tile.

Shop our large assortment of handmade-look tiles here.

The use of the coordinating Annie Selke Artisanal Sky Pencil to line the shower’s niche instantly gives the space a more custom and cohesive feel.

Explore all the ways tile trim and accessories can help enhance any design with our comprehensive guide.

Office Bathroom

Selke’s office bathroom offers a slightly more sophisticated appearance with the intriguing textile-inspired Annie Selke Argento Cream tile. Through the layering of different colored glazes on top of one another, this ceramic wall tile mimics the appearance of a luxe metal-infused fabric. Combined with a creamy beige hue and a light-reflecting shimmer, this tile brings an extra glam feel to the shower.

Matching the primary bathroom, this shower continues the use of the spa-like White, Grey & Black Pebbles Small tile for a floor that anchors the space and balances the textured walls.

Back Patio

Last, but certainly not least, is the home’s swanky back patio, adorned with charming old-Hollywood style furniture and one final appearance of the brushed Arctic White marble. Ideal for outdoor use in the Palm Springs’ dry climate, the ivory stone offers the ultimate setting for Selke and her company to bask in the warm desert sun.

And with that, we’re concluding our tour of Annie Selke‘s breathtaking desert oasis. If you’re loving her style as much as we are, explore our exclusive Annie Selke tile collection to bring similar beauty into your own home.

To get a closer look at some of our favorite spaces in Varsity Blues, keep scrolling!

Family Room

As Julie explained, our Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile was the inspiration for the home’s entire color palette. We love the way it ties this family room together as a timeless focal point.

Kitchen

Offering the atmosphere of a whimsical English cottage, this kitchen is both classic and cozy. The rich blue cabinetry makes an eye-catching statement, while the handmade-look Retro Lino backsplash creates balance and adds soft, artisanal character.

Laundry Room

It’s all in the details! Using the Urban Pearl Pav and Urban White Pav tiles, Julie created a custom floor pattern in the laundry room. By placing the tiles in a traditional checkerboard layout, she brought understated elegance to this sweet and simple space.

Find even more custom tile pattern inspiration here.

Mudroom

Laura Ashely Wicker Sea Spray makes its second appearance in Varsity Blues as the home’s mudroom flooring. It offers gorgeous contrast against the warm brown details and crisp white walls.

Primary Bathroom

Featuring our Siberian Pearl marble, the primary bathroom is a true show-stopper. With refined wall paneling, gold hardware, and a boldly painted ceiling, we are swooning over every inch of Julie’s design.

Laid in an elegant herringbone pattern, the Siberian Pearl brushed marble brings an elevated, timeless feel to this space while creating incredible interest and dimension.

We love the Siberian Pearl marble because it has so many natural tones running through it.

-Julie Howard

We can’t forget about this breathtaking shower! Complete with coordinating trim pieces and a striking hex mosaic from the Siberian Pearl collection, its opulence is unmatched.

Jack & Jill Bathroom

As charming as it is functional, the Jack & Jill bathroom maintains a cool-toned palette with the Bulevar Grey tiled shower surround and Meram Blanc Carrara Polished Hex flooring. Soft veining throughout each marble hex plays effortlessly with the gentle waves of texture in the Bulevar Grey, creating just the right amount of movement.

Guest Bathrooms

The perfect place to play with pattern, Julie brought the home’s guest bathrooms to life with two unique, yet complementary designs. The first bathroom features a more sophisticated style with our cement-look Villandry Azure tile on the floor. Pulling out the rich blue tones from the Villandry Azure‘s Victorian-inspired pattern, the Imperial Slate Blue makes for an excellent shower surround.

The second guest bathroom showcases a slightly playful aesthetic with the Blot Noon Hexagon, which imitates the appearance of an inkblot. Similar to the Jack and Jill bathroom, Julie used the Bulevar Grey tile for the shower surround, while adding a luxurious final touch with the Arctic White Brushed Marble Hex on the shower’s floor.

That’s a wrap on the Timber Trails‘ Varsity Blues home tour! We hope you enjoyed your step inside and gathered fresh inspiration to create something beautiful of your own.

While Miami’s architecture typically leans modern-Mediterranean, the homeowners wanted something a little more traditional, resulting in a stunning blend of the two design styles.

Kitchen & Dining Room

A host’s dream, the kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and antique-style chandeliers. Oh, and we can’t forget the focal point – a stunning black range hood with lavish gold accents.

French doors throughout the home lead to the picturesque backyard, which sits on an aqua-blue canal. Keep scrolling to see the incredible view (and the massive swimming pool)!

Living Room

Lofty ceilings bring an especially grand feel to the living area, with large built-in bookcases and a stunning leather-strapped chandelier.

Vintage decor mixes effortlessly with modern furniture in this space, reflecting a truly elegant, one-of-a-kind design style.

Guest Bathrooms

We love the simple elegance of this guest bathroom. The neutral color palette, gold hardware, and wooden vanity lend themselves to the homeowners’ more traditional style, and we are obsessed!

Mallorca White subway tile brings some artisan charm to the space with a pearlescent sheen and unique texture that creates a handmade look and feel.

We definitely see more of the modern Miami style in this bathroom, with a glamorous marble shower and dark accents. Maintaining a neutral color scheme throughout the space allows for a fun mix of patterns and materials that doesn’t feel overwhelming.

Mallorca White is used once again in this coastal-inspired guest bathroom. A baby blue vanity unites beautifully with silver hardware for a clean and refreshing feel.

Home Office

While the rest of the house features a lighter color palette, the home office goes bold with a deep navy on both the walls and ceiling for a moodier atmosphere.

We’ll take this space for our next Zoom meeting any day!

Powder Bath

Simple and serene, the powder bath includes a customized mirror, wood-carved fluted vanity, and a vintage-style lighting fixture.

Primary Bathroom

Maybe the most striking part of this home is the spa-like primary bath. With Firenze Carrara Honed Marble from top to bottom, it boasts luxury and lavishness.

A custom chandelier hanging above the freestanding tub adds a stunning point of contrast against the otherwise bright and light-filled room.

Sourced from Italy, the marble used throughout the space features stunning grey veining and a honed finish for a look and feel that’s absolutely breathtaking.

Backyard

We told you you’d swoon, didn’t we? The extravagant backyard definitely gives us major tropical oasis vibes!

Coined the Cream Puff house because of its creamy exterior color, this home has a facade nothing short of spectacular.

When designing this home, Rosie was inspired by an ultra-glam black and gold color palette, synonymous with The Great Gatsby. However, she wanted to add a contemporary and fresh feel to it.

When establishing a design I always ask my clients how they want to ‘feel’ in their house; what type of vibe they want. – Rosie

“Almost all of the tile in this home was either black or white. It gave a very clean look to the space.”

A Grand Entrance

Soaring ceilings and gorgeous windows create an open-concept living space full of natural light.

When working on a project do you go room by room or do you approach the house as a whole?

“I always start with the owner’s bathroom and then go from there. At the end, I circle back to the owner’s bathroom because after walking all the aisles of tile, we end up changing tile because there is so many to choose from. Typically, we choose the backsplash last because it is usually a pretty simple choice.”

I find inspiration everywhere. Often it is a specific piece like a unique tile or furniture piece that the design is created around. – Rosie

Powder Bath

Sticking with the black and white color palette but adding in a gorgeous neutral shade of green, this powder bathroom lets the details shine.

I felt like it was all simple enough that other things could be featured like lighting, while still having its own hidden beauty. Most of the tiles have this gorgeous texture that you can’t always see until you’re looking at it up-close. I liked that its beauty isn’t in your face. – Rosie

This Color Market tile in Army features a matte finish and subtle texture in a deep green hue. Laying it in a horizontal straight stack adds a contemporary feel to the classic subway tile shape.

Laundry Room

This home features gorgeous contrast. Black and white details play off of natural wood accents throughout each space.

What is your go-to design tip?

“With our clients, because we’re building from the ground up, I always tell them to try not to get ahead of themselves in the design process. Focus on what’s in front of you and what you’ve done. Build on the design from there.”

Kitchen

Following the theme of the rest of the house, this kitchen is as grand as it gets. Complete with cabinetry and backsplash all the way to the ceiling (11 feet to be exact!) and art-deco pendant lighting, this space achieves the glam factor Rosie set out to create.

Every last detail was perfectly executed. We’re swooning over the oversized cabinet hardware and stunning black and gold La Cornue range.

Owner’s Bath

When asked which tile was Rosie’s favorite, she immediately said the oversized tile in the owner’s bathroom without hesitation. Originally her plan was to do large slabs of marble behind the vanity, but after realizing the cost of doing that, decided to go with a large-format marble look tile.

“We were really happy with the oversized look of the tile and how seamless it came out behind the vanity.”

Large-format tiles create an expensive look while being budget-friendly. Learn more about how to maximize your space with large-format tiles here.

Get a similar look with these marble look tiles!

Full Baths

The tiled spaces in this home never end! There are two, equally beautiful bathrooms that continue the theme of contrast seen throughout the rest of the home.

When choosing tile it depends on how you are using it. It might be the focal point of the space or it might be more simple to let something else stand out. – Rosie

Following elements seen throughout the house, this bathroom features a marble-look large format tile and a 3-D statement tile. This space is nothing if not bold and glam… Can we talk about that oversized mirror?

Fireplaces

This home features three contemporary fireplaces that instantly demand attention with their bold and dimensional design features. Each one has a very simple design but the design is what makes these fireplaces true focal points.

Tiling the fireplaces to the ceiling adds drama while also emphasizing the height of the space. The 3-D texture of the tile emphasizes shadows and lights creating a sleek, contemporary look.

The 3-D texture of the Mar Quartzo and Diamante tiles add a sculptural design element that plays off of shadows and light to bring depth and dimension to the space.

Basement Bar

To Rosie, every home should have a space for entertaining and hosting. This basement bar is the perfect spot!

What is your favorite space in this home?

“My favorite space is probably the basement bar area because of the tile — the tile is what really made it. There are small details on the tile, but we were able to mix and match the tiles to create the design exactly how we wanted it and I love how it turned out.”

Rosie created a one-of-a-kind design with the Tear Collection. Available in four different patterns featuring intersecting silver metallic lines that emulate woven fabric, mix and match to add a touch of glam to any space.

Kitchen & Living Room

The goal for the kitchen was to design a “really beautiful space for community,” Orie Prince said. From entertaining friends and family to day-to-day use, the 13-foot-long island seamlessly achieves the design team’s intention. Detail after detail, this kitchen has it all.

The interior decor’s large variety of texture and color immaculately replicates the warmth of the outdoors.

Master Bedroom & Bath

From acting to activism, Sophia is what we would call a busy bee. Someone as involved and dedicated as her would most likely want the perfect place for relaxation and rejuvenation. What better place than a master bedroom and bathroom?

Sophia referred to her new master bathroom as “the dream of dreams.” With a space this impressive, she is absolutely right!

We especially can’t get enough of the open, curved shower. Imperial Blush Mosaic beautifully plays off of the bathroom’s warm color palette. The glossy finish adds the perfect shine to help brighten the space.

Home Office

Fun fact: Orie and his team soundproofed the home office so that Sophia could have a space to record her latest podcasts.

Guest Room & Bath

The warm tones from the master bathroom were repeated in the guest bathroom to create the perfect sense of unity. This shower wall is embellished with a dark-hued Imperial Sienna Gloss Mosaic.

Powder Room

If you couldn’t tell by now, Sophia loves color just as much we do. We are mesmerized by this blue powder room. Love the color blue? Check out our blog post that is dedicated to this confident color!
