Walker Zanger

Earlier this week, I participated in a twitter chat for folks that work in the interior design community, i.e. #IntDesignerChat.  This week's chat was hosted by none other than the VP of Walker Zanger, Jared Becker (@WalkerZanger).  The chat centered around participating interior designer's finding what inspires them and how technology assists with inspiration.  By the end of the chat, I was inspired to pull up some of my favorite Walker Zanger tile creations and pull together a blog post.  Which are your favorite Walker Zanger tile designs?

Carrara White vs. Calcutta Gold

I love white marble.  It always makes everything seem so crisp and clean.  I see a lot of designs where Cararra White marble is used and while it is very similar to Calcutta Gold in that the background is mostly white with a bit of grey veining, what differentiates Calcutta Gold from Cararra White is that within the veining are these lovely gold tones that add warmth to the stone. I think I love them both equally but I do like the uniqueness and rarity of use of Calcutta Gold.  Here are a few images of both stones.  Which do you like better?
