Rex Ray Tiles + Typography + Steampunk — We’re Feeling It
Our Rex Ray Studio TYPE 4×12 glass subway tiles are getting a lot of attention these days!
In fact, we’ve got a new batch of these typography-inspired hot commodities in production right now.
And we also noticed they kind of fit into another cool craze: the Steampunk Aesthetic. Check out a few of the Steampunk pix we’ve gathered– yeah, we’re into it.

The best of both worlds: steampunk typography. MEKKANIKA typeface
So we’re going with it and continuing this collaboration. We’re currently in the process of creating even more totally original tiles based on Rex Ray’s amazing designs.
Rex Ray’s art is just what we like (and what we need).

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!
We’re proud of our partnership and look forward to the next seven years of business together.
Modwalls Tile in Katie Brown’s Gorgeous Amagansett Home – Final Edition!
Today we’re rolling out the last set of photos we have from Katie Brown’s lovely little Amagansett gem of a home. This place is SO CUTE!
When it came time to renovate & revamp her Hamptons residence, Katie choose to use modwalls® tile for every bathroom and her kitchen… sweet!
We first shared her seriously beautiful master bathroom, which features our Lush® 3×6 Driftwood glass subway tile (check out all of the photos on our previous post here).
Next we shared her daughter Meredith’s crisp, cool and clean white bathroom that is decked out in modwalls® classic Lush® 3×6 Cloud white glass subway tile (view our post by clicking here).
Our third post about Katie’s home showed you her daughter Prentiss’s super cool bathroom with a stunning shower covered in modwalls® Lush® 1×2 Surf mini subway glass tile.
How awesome is that shower? Check out all of the photos here.
And now for the grand finale! Drum roll, please.
We’ve got two spaces to share today; Katie’s modern-meets-country kitchen and the kid’s guest bathroom. First up is everyone’s favorite space to remodel: the kitchen!
Katie completely transformed this kitchen and she choose our Lush® 3×6 Reef tile as the main statement piece. Change your tile, change your life, right?
Below is an “in-process”/ before shot. As you can see, Katie ripped out EVERYTHING and started from scratch on this cozy kitchen. (The kitchen is that little nook waaay back there).

What a difference!
The guest bathroom features one of our custom penny round colors, a poppy red that is too cute for words. Our ModDotz™ porcelain penny round tiles are frequently used in bathrooms for floors, walls, shower surrounds and backsplashes. Aren’t they the cutest?
Taa-daaa!
Pretty soon we’ll share a clip from when we visited this sweet house. Modwalls®’s Sarah got to hang out with Katie and was recently featured in her PBS show. Look for it soon!
Modwalls Tile in Katie Brown’s Gorgeous Amagansett Home – Part 3
Happy Friday, friends!
Today we’re showing you more of Katie Brown’s stunning revamped Amagansett home and this time we’re sharing her sweet daughter Prentiss’s bathroom.
Katie hand picked modwalls® Lush® glass subway tile “Driftwood” for her master bathroom (read our blog and see photos here), and she choose our classic white glass subway tile Lush® 3×6 Cloud for her daughter Meredith’s bathroom (we posted photos on a previous blog, which you can view here).
For her daughter Prentiss’s bathroom, Katie decided to go with our popular color Lush® Surf in our 1×2 brick joint mini subway tile size. We also carry this watery, aqua green Lush® color in a traditional 3×6 size, and an extra large format 4×12 subway size. And we recently rolled out the color in our Lush® 1×4 size, which is a modwalls®-only size and can’t be found anywhere else.
Say “hi” to one beautiful bathroom:
*Sigh*
We just love her style!

modwalls + Design Milk !
Happy Friday!
We couldn’t take off for the weekend without first sharing this rockin’ blog from one of our favorite, favorite online design mags, Design Milk, all about installing our Lush® 3×6 Vapor glass subway tile!
Design Milk’s editor extraordinaire Jaime Derringer used the tile for her recent kitchen remodel and blogged all about it. You can read the whole article which details her step-by-step tile installation process here: http://bit.ly/zNC6H7
Here’s a little picky from the blog… more photos to come!

Don’t cha love knowing what leaders in the industry are doing with their own spaces? Yeah? Us too!

Today’s Color Inspiration: Mellow, Minty Green
We’ve noticed that modwalls®’s customers seem to favor three colors more than any others in our Lush® palette:
1) Lush® Cloud, our classic white glass tile.
2) Lush® Vapor, a subtle pale blue.
3) Lush® Surf, a soothing, watery green.
And it’s this last color that sparked today’s color inspiration: mellow, minty green.
Here’s a Japanese soaking tub with our Lush® 3×6 Surf backsplash tile:
This mod bathroom has our ModDotz™ Pistachio porcelain penny round tiles:
Here’s a slightly different take on the color as seen in our 3/4″ mosaic tile blend Brio® Surfside:
And another variation, this time the tile is our Lush® 1×2 blend Santa Monica.
And finally, one of our favorites is this kitchen with Lush® 4×12 Surf tile:
What do you think of this color trend?
Is is you?
“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?
