Hakatai mosaic glass tiles have earned a loyal following with architects and interior designers in and around Austin, Texas. The ameliorating little city seems to reinvent itself with the times and in recent years has been experiencing a major surge in renovations. Owners of mid-century homes are seeking to contemporize yet retain the charm and identity of the era and have turned to Hakatai glass mosaic tiles for a modern accent that fit then and fits now.

As a professional photographer, “Austinite” Casey Maddeaux has developed a sharp eye and feel for design in her years spent capturing the uniqueness that is Austin through the lens of a camera. Her familiarity with Hakatai glass mosaic tiles comes from her time shooting high-end hospitality, restaurant and residential settings in Central Texas and beyond. When it came time for the proprietor of Casey Woods Photography to remodel the master bath of her 1940s bungalow-style residence, the design called for the Ashland-e series of mosaic glass tiles from Hakatai with recycled content.

The Austin couple designed a beautiful new modern space for the master bath and featured the elegant, calming appeal of Hakatai’s Cloud White in the Ashland-e series. Casey and her husband Scott were pleased to find a high-design collection of glass mosaics with recycled content and used the Ashland-e series that’s been produced with up to 70 percent recycled content for a breathtaking drop-in tub surround enclosure, showers walls and floor, as well as the backsplash. The subtle, clean and calming Cloud White glass mosaic tiles from the Ashland-e series has rustic hand-made characteristics and natural color style variations, which sparkle in the natural sunlight streaming in through the horizontal window placed along the tub.

“The home is a vintage bungalow from the mid to late 1940s,” said Maddeaux. “My husband and I made the decision to renovate the bath and create a more modern space. We had seen Hakatai products in other homes and were excited about the recycled content in the Ashland-e tiles. We loved the color Cloud White because it has a slight variation in color tones and it gives a peaceful, serene feeling to the room.”
