Bark-tastic Kitchen Transformation: Custom Dog Tiles & Handmade Glaze Magic!

At Whistling Frog Tile, we believe your home should tell your story, and what better way to do that than by incorporating the things you love most? We recently had the pleasure of contributing to a truly unique kitchen renovation, where our hand-sculpted dog tiles took center stage, transforming an ordinary range hood into an extraordinary focal point!

This project was a fantastic example of how custom tile installations can elevate a space and reflect personal passions. Our clients, clearly dog lovers, chose to feature their beloved canine companions in a truly artistic way. Beyond the Ordinary: Custom Shapes and Handmade Glaze Perfection

What makes this installation truly special are the details. Not only do these tiles depict charming dog scenes, but they also incorporate custom tile shapes that perfectly frame the artwork and fit seamlessly into the kitchen's design. This isn't your average backsplash; it's a meticulously crafted piece of ceramic art!

And of course, at Whistling Frog Tile, our commitment to handmade glaze colors shines through. The beautiful, vibrant hue of these dog tiles adds a refreshing pop of color to the kitchen, creating a cheerful and inviting atmosphere. The variations inherent in handmade glazes give each tile a unique character, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike.

Reproduction tile project

Ellen needed 40 bee tiles. She sent us one bee tile for us to evaluate. It wasn’t a perfect match because we make our own glazes. However, our version had unique features, like the black glaze thinning delicately at the edges of the tile, that gave the whole project an antiquated feel.

Amy & Ken's Fireplace

Craftsman style featuring Leaf Green glaze. A beautiful example on how to incorporate an existing tile collection into a permanent installation.

Custom Logo Tile

In this example, our client had their image ready. Rick used the CNC machine to carve a custom mold. Our production now involves a Ram press, which made the workflow more efficient. Lead times were reduced and our client received her tiles ahead of schedule.

The joy of custom!

Rain Wall Shower Installation

Long and lean, floor to ceiling green tiles showcase the shower space.

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Inserts pair well with commercial tile

Our customer had already picked out her field tile. Our decorative tiles added the splash of art she was looking for. The colors and matte finish of our glazes created kitchen harmony.

Erika's Backsplash

Wanting to honor the previous owners of her California home. Using their last names as inspirations, we were commissioned to make the tiles: Hawley (holly tile), Orr (lost oar tile), Loveberg (lovebirds tile), and Cheswick (Chess piece with a wick). Other complimentary handmade tile surrounds and finished the project. Now that’s making the house a home!

Custom shape tile

Chuck’s plan was for a larger shape tile than we usually offer. 4x12” with a simple design he suggested. Rick sketched it out. From mold to finished tile to finished project.

Bar Backsplash Layout

Here’s a recent bar backsplash we did for a client in the Detroit area. I love the multi color old world feel of this piece. The first image shows a preinstall layout with sample insert tiles. The second image shows how Rhonda chose to personalize her space with Destination tiles.

Lily Pattern Floor

Our client was inspired by nature and wished to incorporate a lily motive for her tile flooring. Rick designed an undulating repeating pattern of lily flowers and leaves in the border. Harmonizing green field tiles with variation bring the outdoors into this beautiful space.

Embossed Floor Tile

Details make the difference. Consult with us on how to add texture. We’ll sculpt your ideas into your design space. For this project, Fleur de Lis compliment the center tiles, framing in the center tiles. Simple, restful, wonderful.

Furniture project- Craftsman table

Kevin designed a Craftsman style table that showcased our handmade tile. From the architectural palette for durability and texture he chose S5G-19 ACE. His expert skill produced a beautiful piece. Project cost under $250.
