This ceramic tile collection is extremely versatile, allowing you to create designs ranging from contemporary, modern and on-trend, to classic with a fresh twist as you can see from the images we've included in this article.
Let's start with the basics about the product.
Handcrafted in the United States and more specifically locally in Connecticut, this ceramic tile product has a matte finish, is 8mm in thickness (almost 3/4 of an inch) with a pressed edge (i.e., soft rounded edge).
Some product is available for Quick Ship; others will take 6 to 8 weeks.
From a wear perspective, the collection has a PEI rating of 3 which means that it has moderate wear resistance; it's suitable for all residential uses and in commercial areas where light to moderate foot traffic is anticipated.
This product is not frost-resistant, so best to use it indoors only.
Finally, in terms of shade variation, Seafoam White has a uniform appearance, whereas Seamist Blue and Seaspray Green exhibit slight shading variation. The image below captures the three colors in the two finishes.
What makes this collection so appealing is that it includes many different tile size options, mosaic types, and trim pieces.
The matte-finished tiles - in solid and in the Corduroy Deco texture - are available in the following subway tile sizes:
The image at the top and the one immediately below capture what you can create with a herringbone pattern layout.
The mosaics in the Seashore collection are marvelous! They consist of 1-inch penny dots (or penny rounds) and 2-inch hexagons in different designs, all available in the matte finish:
To complete your project, you have the following trim pieces included in the Seashore collection:

Penny mosaics are fun to design with. In addition to doing all over designs in the same color, you can alternate colors.
The two examples below similarly alternate the 1" Seashore Penny Mosaic in Seafoam White with another color.
Here's the Seaspray Green with white in a vertical installation.
Next, you see the white alternating with the 1" Penny mosaic in Seamist Blue. What's also interesting here is that the installation is on the diagonal.
Essentially, you can rotate the mosaic sheets to create different designs.
Hexagons add to the fun with the Seashore collection.
Below, you see the 2" Hexagon in Seafoam White mixed with parallel rows of the Blue Diamond & Green Dot mosaic. The effect is retro yet fresh.
This next installation features Seastar Deco Mosaic in Seafoam White with Blue and Green on the walls.
On the floor, you see the 2" Hexagon Mosaic in Seafoam White.
Isn't the combination wonderful?

To show you what's possible with the corduroy finish version of the Seashore ceramic tile collection, here's an installation that combines the 3"x9" subway tile with the 3"x3" Corduroy Deco in Seafoam White to create an interesting basketweave pattern.
