Tree of Life Backsplash
This 24″ x 24″ mural was commissioned by a couple in Washington state who wanted a Tree of Life backsplash to grout in behind their stove, against a granite countertop. They were drawn to our Tree of Life design because they have a painting of a tree in their home.

Natalie Blake Studios Tiles Featured in New England Home Magazine
The studio’s Botanical tiles are pictured in the Elements section of New England Home’s October issue.
The section highlights “striking kitchen and bath materials from around New England.” As the write-up explains, “Natalie Blake Studios uses the technique called sgraffito for its undulating tiles, carving free-hand to ensure the unique character and exquisite delicacy of each one. As functional as they are beautiful, they would make a sensational backsplash, though many of the studio’s clients hang them on the wall as art.”
We are proud to be a New England-made source for fine wall art and backsplash tile.

Backsplash Ideas
In researching backsplash ideas on the web, we came across this advice from Tim, at Askthebuilder.com:
“It’s no surprise to me that you keep gravitating to ceramic tile for your backsplash. A tile backsplash will last for years, and will add beauty to your kitchen. I have installed ceramic tile at backsplash locations between the countertops and the underside of kitchen wall cabinets for years, and each homeowner was dazzled by the final appearance. Ceramic tile makes sense when you are mulling over backsplash ideas because it is durable, easy to clean, colorful and can add texture to an otherwise dull, flat boring wall space. In recent years, there seems to have been an explosion of new tile colors, patterns, styles and textures, many of which are perfect for areas directly behind a kitchen sink and cooktop areas.”
Unalun tiles are ideally suited for backsplash applications. Unalun tiles can be grouted in place or free hung using our unique hanging system.
Here’s what the Home Garden TV site says about backsplash tile:
“With so many colorful tile choices available today, function is no longer the primary concern for backsplashes. Sometimes it’s all about the beautiful choice. Originally, backsplashes were installed to protect surfaces from water. With so many colorful tile choices available today, function is no longer the primary concern. Backsplashes are now an important design element in the bath.”
