Glass Tiles: Waterworks Repose
Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 2:18PM 
Allow me to introduce my latest obsession, Repose Glass Mosaic Tiles by Waterworks. I stumbled upon these when sourcing tiles for a recent kitchen and bath renovation. The client wanted bold color, but being a small NYC space, we wanted something that didn't feel too heavy. When we found the swirling sky-like tones of these tiles, we knew that we had found the perfect way to bring color into the space.
The tiles are made by hand, and they can be custom colored and even arranged in a custom pattern as you can see in the above backsplash photo. We used them as an accent wall in the bathroom, keeping everything else bright and white with floor to ceiling ceramic tiles. The kitchen colors were the same, but we used the graphic "elliptical flower" pattern to make it its own unique space. They have the most amazing reflective quality in person, and the light almost dances off them like water. This project is getting close to completion, so I hope to have more to share soon!
First two images from Waterworks, and the second two are sneak peeks from my project.

This looks promising - have you managed to get any photos of the completed project yet? I'd like to see how small the small NYC space is!
Thanks, Liam! I'm hoping to have some completed project photos in October, so I will share as soon as I have them. The bathroom is approximately 5'-0" x 7'-0", so it was definitely a challenge, but I think our material choices have helped quite a bit. Stay tuned!
Certainly shall, I've email subscribed so I'll keep my eye on this project. Thanks!
