If people could just see this kitchen in real life, because no image can do these kitchens proud. Clients tend to leave their tiling requirements till last, at a time when the stresses of building are overwhelming and fatigue sets in. If they plan it well in advance then tilers are on the project to install, but if they leave it for a later stage, then they rather choose to live with a bland kitchen or hearth for not wishing to organize the installation. I am amazed at how many kitchens, presented on Interior shows and in magazines like Top Billing, Passella, SA Home Owner, etc. lack a feature handmade tile panel behind the hob! These kitchen have no soul - one just have to imagine a panel behind the stove and the kitchen comes alive!! Months later and readers are still requesting layouts and quotes for this kitchen.

I immediately recognized Helé's breathtakingly beautiful little paintings - miniature art at its very best! Also, it's a feather in her cap that it will be seen in such a prestigious magazine as the S A Garden and Home. Why is it that not more people are using your tiles around the open hearth as you yourself mentioned? I cannot imagine I better place to enjoy them - sitting back and being able to let it "work" on one. Oh, How lovely!!
