Decorative ceramic tile, hand made tiles for custom ceramic tile floors and ceramic floor tilesWOW! When people come into our ceramic tile leaf sunroom, they don't want to walk on our ceramic leaf tile floor. They stand on the marbled green manufactured ceramic tile border, gaze down in awe, and ask us, "Is it OK to walk on it?" I usually jump up and down on the ceramic tile to prove my point, that it is like any other ceramic tile floor—just more beautiful! This floor contains 36 square feet of tile leaves ranging in size from 2" up to 12". It also contains large-irregular opalescent glass globs, small green glass globs, and beach stone. This floor and it's Tiles with Style artist was featured in Wyoming Homes and Living Magazine in their May/June 2003 Designer Showcase article
What I like the best about our leaf tile floor, is that I have the ability to easily change my decor. This ceramic tile leaf floor contains a vast gamut of colors. There are gold leaf tile, green leaf tile, burgundy leaf tile, brown ceramic tile leaves, sage leaf tiles, teal tile leaves, and even a bit of turquoise ceramic tile leaves. The tile border is a forest green, surrounded by, yes, a southwestern sage and taupe border of ceramic tiles. A little on the wild side with gold, orange, and red beaded curtains, but by far my most favorite room in our house — sunny and inviting, especially during those long Wyoming winters. Recently, I changed the wall color in this room from a mid-tone green paint to a mayan gold / orange. The remainder of the room is tomato red, golds, orange, and maroons. It has Sari pillows, Sari throws, and Sari drapes / curtains. It's my little getaway from a hard day of making tile. Check out this interesting table. It was a garbage dump find! I took my RotoZip stripper and quickly sanded off 1/4" of acrylic finish. Once the wood was exposed, I traced my ceramic tile leaves onto the table with a permanent marker. I then routed out the tile leaf areas, applied mastic to the hollowed areas, and dropped in the leaf tiles, leveling them with the table top. I then used wood putty to fill in around each leaf tile. A coat of satin polyurethane was sprayed on the tabletop to finish it off.
