#BlogTourLA paparazzi capturing the reveal of “Jet Set”
the new mid-century modern collection from Walker Zanger
Even though I work at a bath showroom, I am discovering that there is still a lot for me to learn about designing with tile. There are so many great options out there beyond white subway and tumbled marble! While an invited guest on #BlogTourLA in early October, I was exposed to some of the latest collections released from the tile artisans at Walker Zanger. I was inspired!
The members of #BlogTourLA were invited for a showroom tour which began with the introduction of the Jet Set collection which is a nod to mid-century design. This modern day collection was influenced by the bold graphic patterns of the 1960s – an era when air miles were not accumulated for points, they were enjoyed en route to exotic (often times this meant domestic) destinations. Patterns from around the globe are present in this worldly collection that speaks to a time when traveling by air was indeed a luxury. After flying over 3,000 miles from the East Coast to enjoy being a part of #BlogTourLA, I felt a kindred spirit with the concept behind this collection.

A bit of brunch served at Walker Zanger showroom
Fabulous showroom moment: marble soaker tub with
Perrin + Rowe tub filler, Afina mirrors, mosaic tile
Tile love: subtle bubble backsplash
I am also loving: chevrons!
Moroccan style: a favorite for Cheryl Kees-Clendendon
Noteworthy: blogger Ronique Gibson posing with tile that poses as wood
On trend: rustic furnishings paired with sleek tiles in neutral colors
Recently discovered that these monogramed decanters (there is a W on one wooden orb and a Z on the other) are available via West Elm. They looked striking next to the mosaic wavy wall tile in the Walker Zanger showroom.
Thank you, Mindy Miles Greenberg, for taking this photo
