We’ve had the pleasure of again working with the designers at House and Home Magazine. In January’s issue, some of our Art Glass Mosaics were included among the trends for 2013. In February’s issue, Sally Armstrong gets to show off the renovation of her home. We were flattered when Sally came to us with an image of a stone floor she had found several years ago, asking us to create the field tile pattern. If you hit this link, Sally’s Tour, she will give you a personal tour of her family home. Love the little touches that flow from one room to the next – like the built-ins that extend from the kitchen to the family room, and the pocket doors between the dining counter and the kitchen. We know that you will enjoy browsing this great site. Thanks for visiting.

We have disappeared from our blog for so long that we almost forgot how to log in! Not good….. Well, let’s get a fresh start. Happy 2013 to you all! We are going to provide slightly different content in some upcoming posts, so hope that you will stick around to read them. But for today, we wanted to show you a fun project with a creative Calgary homeowner who is designing a lovely Arts and Crafts home. Our client saw the Sand Dollar Artistic Stone floor tile profiled last year in Style at Home Magazine.

The home will include highlights such as stained glass windows, often seen in classic Arts and Crafts style. To complement this, she asked us to create a frame for a bathroom mirror, using a re-sized Sand Dollar design in art glass. Here are some shots of the frame, laid out on the Studio floor as we were preparing to package it. We just love this kind of collaboration!

To our client- it has been a pleasure! Please send pictures!

We’re back after a summer getaway, and ready to pick up where we left off. To kick things back into gear again, we have compiled images of a true chameleon. The Art Glass Mosaic Maven, with 5 colours in each combination, is a favourite among our clients for bathrooms, kitchens, fireplaces and even as a one-of-a-kind framed custom art triptych. Armed with the 50 art glass samples, our design partners have a great time coming up with the perfect combo to make a room sing. Enjoy, and check back again soon. The Studio Crew

Have you picked up your copy of June’s Style at Home magazine? If you haven’t yet, hurry! This month’s magazine heralds in summer with a burst of colour. Here’s a sneak peek that just happens to include a custom kitchen backsplash from our Studio. And what a great project! So, here is the evolution:

The inspiration

1) It all started with a swatch of beautifully stiched fabric. The homeowner wanted the backsplash tile to pull in the colour in the fabric, which was destined for window coverings in an adjoining room; 2) A few renderings were sent, with various design and glass colour options; 3) The homeowner chose her preferred design and colour combination, and a custom sample was ordered; 4) Decision made, tile ordered, kitchen reno magic happened and voila! A bright and vibrant kitchen emerged.

Thanks as always to the wonderful team at Style at Home magazine. And thanks to you for visiting. The Studio Crew
