“We then complemented the bold, over-the-top encaustic design with a soft, weathered white wood visual on the rest of the house,” Morales added. “Covering the four walls of the doghouse is American Olean’s Waterwood Collection – White Oak. Inspired by the bricola wood pillars that grace the waterways of Venice, this unique wood-look tile provides the visual softness of authentic water-worn oak wood. Then, to top it all off with a nice trendy touch, we put 1 ½-inch hexagon mosaics from the Waterwood Collection on the floor of this little pooch palace.”
The Marazzi, American Olean doghouse joined several others donated by fellow TCNA members, which are on display during Coverings in the TCNA Art Tile Courtyard. Following the show, all doghouses will be donated to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of Orlando-area pets.
