Summer House Collection inspiration
Tamara tapped into her love for living by the sea as inspiration for the Summer House tile collection. Many of the antique homes in the East End of Long Island where she lives showcase gorgeous Delft and other antique blue and cream tile in the fireplaces, the kitchens, bathrooms and walls. These patterns seem to tell a rich story, and Tamara hopes to capture that essence while weaving her unique root cellar designs’ vision, a mix of old and new to bring to today’s home
