Need Some Eichler Inspiration?

Eichler Homes are distinctively known for their amazing Mid-Century modern style (which is probably why we and so many others still love them so much)!!!

Little Eichler history (per Wikipedia):  Between 1950 and 1974, Joseph Eichler’s company, Eichler Homes, built over 11,000 homes in nine communities in Northern and Southern California. They all came to be known as Eichlers or an Eichler.  During this period, Eichler became one of the nation’s most influential builders of modern homes. The largest contiguous Eichler Homes development is ‘The Highlands’ in San Mateo, built between 1956 and 1964.    Basically, Eichler defined what “California Modern” really is or what it’s perceived to be.  Read more Eichler history here.

On a recent browsing sesh on Pinterest, we found a link to a great site featuring our Brio tile in one of our customers’ gorgeous Eichler residence.  All photos are courtesy of Hunter Lewis Wimmer of redneckmodern.com.  We hope you are inspired as much as we are by this stunning post-mod home!

This is what the homeowner Mary-Peyton said:

“We spent HOURS on the custom mix configurator (Modwalls Tile Blender). The floors in the  kitchen are black and in the dining area they are grey. There is a ton of wood in the house so we wanted to include all those colors to tie it together. Throw in some mid-century orange, turquoise and apple green and we were good to go. I wish we had more wall space to show off the tile!”

Because we love this Brio blend so much, we wanted to share Mary’s perfect custom blend recipe:

Playhouse Design Group + Greenleaf Construction, could they be any cooler?!

We get totally BLOWN AWAY every time we are blessed with amazing install pics of our modwalls tile in such impressive spaces – especially when we get them from Playhouse Design Group & Greenleaf Construction!!! Seriously can’t get enough of them!! :)

We recently did a designer spotlight blog on Playhouse Design Group (find it here), a spectacular design firm making good design happen on a daily basis in the Pacific Northwest.

Had to share these pics since we feel truly honored to have our products installed in such amazing spaces!  Enjoy!

Gorgeous kitchen with our Brio Clear Red mosaic glass tile as the backsplash. Love how the lighter grout of the backsplash truly makes the red mosaic tile pop!

Another Brio Clear Red installation – notice the impact of a darker grout instead of the white grout. Love it!

Brio Tarragon mosaic glass tile flows over the vanity and around the tub area beautifully.

Have you installed or specified our modwalls tile?  If so, we would love to see your best pics!  Email them to us at service@modwalls.com and share the love.

Have A Little HOPE: modwalls work with our community

We believe that everyone in the world has the right to feel fulfilled and know that their work serves a purpose.

From day 1 it has been one of our business goals to help employ those who may not otherwise have work that is readily available to them.

Since 2005 we have contracted with Hope Services to produce modwalls® Brio® custom glass mosaic tile blends in a local workshop for their developmentally disabled adult clients.  Hope’s Mission is to assist people with developmental disabilities to live and participate in their communities.  We have benefited greatly from the amazing work and attention to detail that Hope’s clients provide in making each of modwalls® custom tile blends a real work of art for our customer’s homes.

Here are just a few photos we’ve received of Hope’s clients in action. They rock!

“Tileplace” – An homage to the tiled fireplace

When it’s cold outside like today, nothing satisfies more than cozying up next to the fireplace with a hot drink, a good book and/or a cuddle buddy.  Wouldn’t you agree?

These tiled fireplaces are giving us this feeling called WANT and we have it BAD.

Here’s a living room with modwalls® Brio® White Linen 3/4″ mosaic tile blend on the fireplace… its such a subtle blend, and it looks at home in any interior (kitchen backsplashes, bathroom showers, floors- you name it).

That wingback chair is calling our name!

Or maybe that look is a little too cozy for your taste?  Perhaps you’re more at home with something classic, with a twist…

If so, we’d suggest a fireplace tile like our Lush® 1/2×2 Moss tile; its fresh, stacked format is slightly edgy and pairs well with the traditional earthy green color of the tile.

This fireplace-entertainment center was actually featured on the HGTV show Destination Design.

And last, what we’re about to show you is one of the best fireplaces we’ve EVER seen.  And you know we mean it!

Say hello to this tiled fireplace with modwalls® Brio® 3/4″ mosaic tile “Cilantro” and our Lush® Henry Road “Butterfly“ tile. This is one of the rooms at the Glen Oaks Big Sur lodge in Big Sur, CA.

How sweet is this space?!

We wanna be friends with this fireplace.

So…. What does your fantasy fireplace look like?
