	Stove Hearth, Story Tile - Wildlife A corner project in my home. This little potbelly stove is the stove that kept my grandfathers tack and tool room heated a hundred years ago. I built the hearth for it in our kitchen dinning area. The top of the hearth is broken tile with a 6" x 6" tumbled stone Grizzly Bear story tile, inlaid on the face panel, Also displayed, a coal bucket, kindling box and a wall shelf supporting two antique flat irons. Bottom photograph, detail of hearth face panel. A simple do-it-yourself project. Dick



	Bathroom Shower, Story Tile Mural Mari Thomas called. Found my website;and had to call. My husband and I have horses and love to take rides across the Michigan countryside. I am looking for a mural for our bathroom shower We discussed the Designers Choice Tile website and its contents. She liked the mural "Dads Spurs," the western boot, horseshoes and was trying to come up with something with horseback riders. She told me about rides they had taken and how much they enjoyed them. We talked about the color scheme of the bathroom and the shower area. I suggested that she let me work up an idea I had and I would e-mail her a layout in a day or two. I e-mailed this layout to Mari. E-mail Note. Hi Mari, Here is what I have come up with. The outer rim of tile represents the 6" X 6" tile you have, the basic field tile of the shower. The mural frame is 4" X 4" tumbled stone across the top and down the sides, with a row of 6" X 6" tumbled stone across the bottom. The inner frame or matte, around the 24" X 12" "Two Riders" mural, is broken tile with the 4" X 16" spur mural and 2- 2" X 2" diagonal horseshoe tiles inset in the broken tile background. LAYOUT Hi Dick, I received your e-mail. It looks really nice. I'll get back to you in a couple of days ....... I really like your work. Thanks Mari	Next day Hi Dick Thought I would e-mail you to let you know we really like the mural. Would like to get started on ordering if we could, So I called you today left a message with our phone number please either call or e-mail me back and let use know? Thank you very much. I love it. Mari Finished job. Mari wrote, "Hi Dick finally, here are the pictures. It looks great everyone loves your work. I love the bathroom and I'm very pleased with how it turned out Thanks Mari Thomas Michigan

		Kitchen Backsplash, Story Tile Mural Hi, I would like to get the tile mural I saw on the Designers Choice Tile website. I like the Watering Longhorns and would like the 4 Ceramic tiles to be 8" x 8" and then have Ceramic tiles 4" x 4" surrounding it with the brands, use all different brands you have so the total size would be about 24" x 24" using the background color of Cornsilk and image color Doe. (Four tile layout plus brands) Thanks for your help I have been looking for western tile murals for months and finally found your site. Looks great. One more question, I was wondering if you have two more 8" tiles that could be added to either side to make the mural a bit wider that would match the scene. I am working with a wider rather than taller space and think a scene that was 24 x 16 would actually work better. Let me know if you have something that would work with this watering longhorn scene. Drop the brands. Thanks Great, looks good. Thanks for all your help. I love your tiles and will pass on your website to other friends. Hi, I finally got the tile mural put up. Here are pictures for your tiles. They look great. Thanks for all your help on this. Marsha Stromgren Kansas

	Hi: ...I have a log cabin and my bathroom theme is “bears”. I am looking at having 3 - 6x6 white ceramic tile with #6027 on them (grizzly front). I am going to have the paws going up my bathroom shower. I am also looking at maybe a small mural with 4 across or 2 rows with 3 across with possibly #5017, 5018, 5019 and 5015 on the same 6x6 ceramic tile. ... The tile will be white and the bears in black. I am not looking for any other colors other than the black & white. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.. Thanks Helen Simmons AZ Notice of delivery. Wow – wonderful. I can’t wait to see them. We are going to our house this coming weekend and we will be putting them in. I will send you pictures.

	Good Morning! We are doing a backsplash in our mudroom in ceramic tile....We are interested in incorporating something like your #165 story line with moose that we saw on your website. We would certainly welcome your suggestions, ... Thank you! Madeline Potter - WY Hi Dick - ...I know that I want the story line to be a man walking thru the cedars/willows and pine trees following 2 bull moose.... will contact you again. Thanx so much for your help so far! Back to you soon! Madeline Good Morning, Dick! We have finally made the color selections that were necessary to complete an order with you.... We very much like the background/terrain in the tile to be similar to your #165 ...Pine, willows, mountains. We'd like to capture the moment with 2 bull moose on one side of the story line, and a man's silhouette on the opposite side of the story line. We'd like the story line to be 7 - 6X6 tiles. We welcome your thoughts on this design.... We're very excited about this! Hope to hear from you soon. Madeline Potter HI Dick! In reviewing our design here at the house, we'd like to add 2 more tiles to our order: The mirror images of men fly-fishing in your story line #242. We would just like the two tiles of the men silhouettes.... Go ahead and add that to your total when you email the contract for the order. Thanks so much! Madeline Potter (Sample Layout) I LOVE IT! And you even got a smile out of Dave! Write up the contract and we'll send it back asap. Wonderful work, Dick. Thanks so much! Madeline Dick: ...The tiles are perfect - I'm getting endless comments! Thanx for making this project so special! Attached Photos Madeline





	Hi, Im from Alberta looking to create a design with "Western" ceramic tiles on top of our stairs. (Just on the top riser) The stairs are 43" wide and the 6 inch high tiles would work. Some ideas in mind, running horses, cowboys chasing cows, actually anything western. We will be installing walnut laminate on the rest of the stairs so something in the browns would be good color. I have looked at your website and love the designs! Looking for some ideas that are eye-catching!!!! Thanks, Sue Zieffle Alberta, Canada	Thanks for the prompt reply! Wow! That's cool! Hi, It sure is hard to decide but thinking about the spurs and then maybe our brands on each side 7 over quarter circle(hooks up), spurs from website 4.25" x 17", then Box X (x in middle-solid lines around). The letters could be brown with white background. And if we need more tiles to fill the 43", then just some plain ones on each side would be fine. Would this be possible? Thanks! Sue Hi, Thought I would send the final look-see attached. We finished Christmas Day and it looks great! Not too hard to do. :) Thanks and Happy Easter to you & your family!
