TAVERN ON RUSH
Custom Tile Installation
Tavern On Rush is a classic, upscale steakhouse on Chicago's Gold Coast. When it came to updating its ladies powder rooms, the owners sought an extravagant tile solution without an extravagant price tag. I was able to give them the subtle luxury look they sought by creating a custom lace pattern on a pale marble background that was then digitally imaged on to over-sized white porcelain tiles. The final installation is quietly elegant and perfectly suited to the venue's stately decor.
