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!

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
