I have the kitchen magazine this kitchen is in. I brought a similar photo of a trailing mosaic to an upscale tile shop just 3 days ago. The salesman told me they are custom mosaics. A design is agreed upon and then color choices are determined. I didn't pursue this as I found a Jeffrey Court tile I will be happy with.

Can you tell me which magazine? Which vendor you saw?

I have about 50 kitchen magazines so I would have to go through them. I will go through my favorites and see if I can find it.

Oh, my, you're a sweetheart!

I know the mosaic you are referring to is in 2 of my magazines, but my baby started crying before I could go through my pile. It is in Dream Kitchens Fall/Winter 2009. I know I saw it in a publication that is older than that. This is the info from the resources section: Interior designer is Lynn Sears her website is lynnsearsinteriors.com. The general contractor is Randy Clowdus Construction 214-366-2233. Maybe the contractor could tell you who did the tile work on this house. The article does not give a homeowner's name but the house is in Dallas.
I did come across another beautiful mosaic as I was going through my pile. It is in the Beautiful Kitchens Summer 2007 issue. It is right on the cover. I wonder if the kitchen is on the website of Chesterandchester.com. Good Luck. I will try to get you to another beautiful mosaic I saved once I get baby to sleep.

I would find a wallpaper similar to it, put it on the wall, and then put glass over the wallpaper.

Those mosaics are hundreds of dollars a square foot.

Thank you!!

That mosaic is in a huge kitchen, and if I recall, the entire wall, which must be about 20' x 10" is tiled.

It is megabucks. As is the kitchen. Splendid and gorgeous but not realistic.

I attached the link to the mosaic in the Chester and Chester kitchen.

I would look at wallpaper.........which isn't cheap anymore but it would be WAY cheaper then custom designed tile. And wallpaper these days is not your grandmother's wallpaper!

I'm pretty sure I saw this same mosaic from a link or link from a link on a post I read last night. If you see a post about backsplashes or tile, that might be it. check out every tile brand mentioned there.

Wallpaper these days is usually vinyl coated. You might not need the glass over it. Years and years ago I used the oil cloth type vinyl paper behind my stove and it cleaned up like a dream. Since then I use the new paper which is vinyl or vinyl coated. You can scrub it and when you get tired of it, the vinyl layer strips off and all you have to do is wet the paper backing that's still stuck to the wall and wash it off.

I'm considering this one. I think the jewel colors. Maybe. Or the browns. Waffling, unable to make up my mind.

hi there,
I've had the devil of a time finding this thread again -- just posted another suggestion for you last night:

Thanks, Circus, I am familiar with that one and that site. Appreciate the effort though. I was looking for custom stone mosaic sources, although for artisans who will do custom sizing, etc. for strangely shaped areas. Long story not worth going into. Short version. I want to mix stone and ceramic (yes, it can be done, but it's tricky) and I want it to trail onto a couple of surfaces. One of the kids could do it, but he just got licensed as an atty. in two states and will, I hope, be employed in law soon, so I may have to find another source.

I loved the Sicis brand of mosaics. I went with a solid 5/8" cararra marble that was inspired by a sample of Sicis I fell in love with (the shop stopped carrying Sicis). I know Pratt & Larson tile picked up Sicis since I was shopping, and have several mosaics on display. Good luck!

Another idea is to purchase a Kopykake projector and project an image of your favorite mosaic or other picture and paint or for the new artists, project and make a stencil. There are some wonderful dry paints on the market to stencil with and believe it or not anyone can do it and they are easy to work with and to blend with a big brush for definition. You could then cover with glass or you could make it so that your art could be framed behind glass on display behind your range for an easy change later. Once you get the large formate projector you can do whole walls in other parts of the house.
