TILE FILE: GOING VERTICAL!

April 5, 2011
  • Share
Bathroom with light grey tiles arranged vertically on the walls

Brick like tiles laid on the vertical. Great idea. Here shown in a shades of light grey in a Los Angeles bathroom from Commune Design. The look so finely straddles the line of old school 70s retro while also being fresh and timeless. It fits for this space.

I am obsessed with tile by the way…wish I had more places to tile. I would move every year just so I could re-do a good kitchen or bath with some fabulous floor or wall tiles!

In your bath, what is your ideal look (what kind of tile and how is it laid)?

Running off…have a huge meeting today….have to present in front of all my bosses at work and huge client.   Instead of practicing what I’ll say, I’m debating between this cute new fuchsia Nanette LePore dress I just bought this weekend OR a classic black Prada (fyi…I had 4 voice mails yesterday when I left work…FedEx twice, my sister, and Effie from the Prada store here in Beverly Hills telling me they had new dresses in…Prada dresses are clearly my comfort zone…hmmm…thinking I might break out…but is today the day to do it?).  It is a big meeting…wonder what you would do…go bold or go safe?  Will let you know what I decide later today!

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Finally a little help is on the way…I have a new intern KS starting today…!  I need the help.  Yippeee.  Welcome aboard KS!

    What a fabulous look! And the simplicity of it is genius. Wonder if hubby will knock out all the tile we just did in the bathroom 2 yrs ago and start over. Right. Absolutely love this.

    I love the vertical movement and it doesn’t appear too busy due to the soft colors! Great idea!

    Love tile on the vertical. One of my favorite Asian restaurants here in NC has these small 2″x3″ green glass subway tiles laid on the vertical and looks like bamboo. So fabulous.

    OooOooh love this Coco! Modern, clean, and simple with a touch of old school eccentricity in subtle hues! Beautiful…I can imagine this in any transitional interior…Although the finish in the reflection is soooooo intriguing…Wish we had a larger image to dissect!

    Thanks for sharing!

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.
