Mosaic Monday: Jet Set Patterns by WZ



Each week we share with you a mosaic of fun backsplash options to help update your kitchen! This week's choices were so fun and we loved the theme so much we thought we would re-post WZ's blogpost about these new patterns!

Jet set

— jet–set adjective
— jet–set·ter noun
— jet–set·ting adjective
A fashionable social set composed of wealthy people who travel frequently by jetliner to parties and resorts.
Origin: 
1950–55
We celebrate the Jet Set with our newest collection of marble tile mosaics of the same name. The collection of luxurious marble patterns recalls the glamorous 1950’s and 60’s when the rich and famous hop scotched across the globe, following the good life from St. Tropez to Palm Springs. The villas were stylish, the women beautiful, the men handsome, the pools sparkling blue and the champagne always flowed.
Come with us and be swept away to a time when flight attendants were called Stewardesses, Mai Tai’s were the drink of choice, and everything sounded better when Frank sang it. Grab your suitcase and hop on board, you won’t even need a boarding pass!

This isn't the "poolside" WZ had in mind but it is what reminded me of the tile!

Backsplash is one of the easiest ways to add a taste of your personality to your kitchen and update the space in a flash.  If your cabinetry is in good condition you can still give us a ring and we will be happy to help you make the right choices for backsplash and countertops! :)

Make it a great day with great design!
