Inspired By… Surf!!! (And just in time for Summer!)
SURF is up!!!!!
Modwalls Lush® glass subway tile in Surf is most accurately described as a soft, watery aqua green color. This tranquil color can pair well with a ton of different color combinations and design styles (see install images below). Available in 5 different sizes: 1″x2 Surf, 1″x4″ Surf, 3×6″ Surf, 6″x 6″ Surf, and 4″x12 Surf.
This glass subway tile is ideal for any wall application including kitchen backsplash tile, bathroom tile, fireplace tile and pool tile. Basically it’s easy to install in all areas where tile can be present.
Here is what a couple happy modwalls customers had to say about the our Lush Surf:
Loved the color!
Christina Meares (Yonkers, NY) 9/17/2010
I was looking for subway tile for months, and after ordering samples and comparing colors, I chose the 1×2 “Surf” and it looks great!
happy customer 11/11/2008
I am extremely pleased with the two colors I purchased, surf and stem. The application and resulting look are even better than I imagined. I used the surf as a border against stark white in a seascape guest bathroom, the stem as backsplash over sink and again stove in kitchen. The only problem I see is lack of other areas to use the tiles on. Also I would like to say that the customer service I received from Modwalls was above and beyond the call. I was extremely pleased – keep up the great work. Delyn, TX
We always love some good installation pics!!

Modwalls Lush 4×12 Surf Kitchen by McCaffrey Construction

Inspired By… Fog Bank
It’s easy to see why our Lush® 4″x 12″ Fog Bank is one of our best sellers!
Here’s what one of our customers Brienne of Tucson, Arizona had to say about it (thanks Brienne!). I think she summed it up perfectly!
“We had the 4×12 Lush Fog Bank tile installed for our pool at the water line. It is a beautiful and clean modern look. We searched countless sites looking for truly modern pool tile and Modwalls was the only site that had what we were looking for. We debated on color after ordering samples of 5 different tiles. We thought fog bank would end up too grey and a little boring, but it is the perfect color in our space. Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes it looks grey, but it always looks stunning, especially next to the crisp white grout we chose. The tile isn’t cheap, but it is worth every penny for the great quality and the clean modern look it provides!”
Kitchen Cousins + Modwalls = Backsplash Sensation!!!
We seriously couldn’t be more ECSTATIC with the final result of HGtv’s Kitchen Cousins (& Brunellesci Construction‘s) recent kitchen remodel project!!!
The episode Fireplace Fiasco aired on HGtv nationwide last Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 and will re-air this Saturday, June 16th, 2012 at 4:30 ET. Set your dvr’s to record if you missed it because it features our very own Lush® glass subway tile, designed by Rex Ray Studio, as the finished kitchen backsplash!!! We always knew this tile would end up in some cool locales and this kitchen definitely exceeds our expectations.
Here’s what HGtv has to say about this surprising episode(!):
“Sometimes it’s what’s behind the walls that makes all the difference. When John and Anthony take a look at Joel and Maria’s kitchen, the first thing that stands out is an unusually thick wall. After a little exploratory demolition they discover an incredible hidden fireplace which completely changes their original design. But as construction progresses, the fireplace they fell in love with becomes their biggest nightmare. Will this hearth be the centerpiece of the home, or will the whole job go down in flames?”
Here’s the BEFORE…

As you can see, this dark and divided kitchen left much to be desired by it’s homeowners Joel and Maria...Photo by (c)Christopher Amaral

We can only imagine how thrilled the homeowners must be to now come home to such a gorgeous, light, and modern kitchen with some flair of the unexpected!

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!

Modwalls Corkdotz installation.

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.
