THANKS FOR THE TILE STYLE UPDATE
E-mail

I always read Oregon Home cover to cover, and then go through it again. "Design Matters" is one of my favorite sections, and I absolutely loved the one on backsplash tile in the May issue ("Design Matters: Backsplashes," edited by Margaret Foley and photographed by Bruce Wilson).

The tile photos were terrific. I had no idea how many different styles there are, and the section gave me lots of ideas. As always, I enjoyed Margaret Foley’s writing. Not only is it good and informative, but I like how she adds so much context to the section. Here, it’s not just about tile; it’s about how tile fits into design and into life. And I loved the bit on where to find inspiration in famous and historic kitchens.

The eco-conscious have hung out their shingles all over town in converted warehouses, turn-of-the-century homes, and even old Maytag repair shops. From the reclaimed to the local, from the handmade to the sustainable, here are some of our new favorite places!
