Ballard Zellige Kitchen
Nine hundred hand-glazed tiles set by eye, hand-sorted for glaze run, and finished with a lime-white grout that lets the variation speak.

Zellige is never flat, and that is the point — but it still has to line up. We dry-laid the backsplash on the counter first, sorting tiles by thickness and glaze so no single run of colour pooled at one end. The range wall got the darkest glaze; the return to the window got the lightest. Lime-white grout, tight joints, and a hand-polished edge along the open shelf.
