I took the opportunity to update/upgrade my kitchen. Part of the upgrade required purchasing additional tiles from BonTon. The base color of the new tiles matched perfectly to the original tiles which were purchased probably 10 years prior. The colors are quirky and fun and fit in perfectly with my vintage, modern condo. Mary was always responsive when I had questions and she delivered the product when she said she would. **★★★★★ — Tile Fusion, March 2016** > I was commissioned to install a custom kitchen backslash using Bon Ton designs material. > It couldn't have gone any easier. The material was ready when they said it would. And working on the jobsite with the homeowner was a breeze. Of coarse i was a little nervous cutting the custom tiles, but that proved to be just like any other day at work. > Custom, Unique, Personalized **★★★★★ — whg25, March 2016** > I bought tiles that my wife fell in love with from a magazine. I called BonTon, spoke with the owner who was incredibly helpful and nice. We used the tiles for a backsplash in a new kitchen that we had installed. The tiles were perfect as was BonTon's service. I would highly recommend BonTon as they delivered exactly what was ordered. **★★★★★ — User, March 2016** > I was remodeling my kitchen and wanted unique tile artwork for the walls. I found Bon Ton Designs on the web. I worked with the artist (Mary Anderson) to create a tailored plan using her cherry branch tile concept. The mosaic is about four feet tall going up the wall surrounding the cabinets and also on the kitchen sink window area. The tile mosaic looks stunning installed on the wall. It makes the entire space look gorgeous and the tile has vibrant colors. Working with Mary has been an great experience and I would highly recommend her work to anyone looking for something truly outstanding and stunningly gorgeous. **★★★★★ — merlenebryant, Nov. 2015** > I love the hands-on personal attention to detail Mary Anderson provided to my client and me. She never hesitated to take calls and follow through with requests. We love the-one-of-a-kind tile splash she created for us; it's truly the "wow" factor of the kitchen! **★★★★★ — Mike, July 2015** > Our client referred us to BonTon. As with most new vendors we were nervous about an unknown vendor. Mary of BonTon was great to work with on our project. Very good communication throughout. The actual product significantly exceeded expectations. Will use again in the future. **★★★★★ — correctivist, June 2015** > We love BonTon. Her perceptive analysis of our needs and her thorough knowledge of her artistic medium provided us with a colorful and delightful dimension to our remodeled kitchen. The quality of the finished tile is superb. The timing and execution of the process went without a hitch so scheduling was no problem. Even our contractor was impressed. As is the case with many creative people, Mary is strong in creativity but not so good at accounting. We will contract with her again. **★★★★★ — Walls Within, Dec. 2014** > As a busy Interior Designer for 30+ years my clients depend on me to bring them the most unique and highest quality items on the market. My own expectations are high of those who I commission in order to provide me/my clients with nothing but the best on these specialized projects. Mary at BonTon Designs will not disappoint and she and her staff will provide you with top one-of-a-kind craftsmanship. BonTon Tile is a 5\* establishment. > Debra Torris Doucette > Walls Within > Newburyport, MA **★★★★★ — ltylerhammock, Nov. 2014** > I've been trying to get cool switch plate covers for my kitchen for a couple of years. The pre-made ones were not what I wanted and the custom made ones were outrageously expensive, starting at $75 each. Recently, while surfing around Houzz, I saw these beautiful tiles and surprise! Bon-Ton was in my area! I called Mary and made an appointment. > > Her tiles are even more beautiful in person than on screen! Very cool designs and great colors. Mary was very gracious and accommodating of my wishes...which was to get 8 custom made switch plate covers in about 10 days. She had some great ideas and even though my project was very small (\>$500), she was pleased to do it. Mary is also a very compassionate dog person, which is a lucky strike extra in my book! (ask her about her St. Patrick tile. It's very cool!) > > My switch plate covers really complete the kitchen and I've gotten rave revues on them. Bon-Ton's pricing is very reasonable and I'd highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — kathyaj, Oct. 2013** > I spent a lot of time looking at big tile companies and on line for backsplash for my kitchen. I really couldn't find anything that tied my red counter, yellow walls and wood cabinetry but I knew what I wanted. Finally on Houzz I came across some designs - I think the first was red poppies on a yellow field and I thought - bingo. I tracked down the creator - Mary Anderson of Bon Ton Designs. She created a ceramic mural for my backsplash to spec and I'm thrilled. She sent me a slide show of the process with updates and I sent her the final installed version. My contractor's face when I told him all the tiles would be numbered was priceless. But it turned out to be pretty straightforward. Only lost one tile in transport and one in installation and had several spares. The installation was less than a day. We're thrilled with the very custom results. **★★★★★ — jodymckay, Jan. 2013** > I am a tile contractor who has refered various clients to Bonton for handmade custom tile to be designed and created- which my company then installed. In evey case my clients were more than satisfied with their concept idea becoming reality from what Mary at Bonton created. Also, in all cases Mary completed the projects on time and in budget! **★★★★★ — jbollman, Jan. 2013** > Bon Ton tree tile was my selection for my kitchen remodel because of the unique and creative design.The quality of workmanship in each tile is outstanding. A Bon Ton representative was available throughout my project to answer questions. I am extremely satisfied with my total experience and I am recommending Bon Ton tile to my friends. ## Selected projects - [Lake Harriet Condo 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-harriet-condo-2016-pj-vj~2092788) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 4 - [Arbor by BonTon](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arbor-by-bonton-pj-vj~2091567) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: One of the most unique tiles you will find in the world.

A: Hi DR, the field tile looks like cut Travertine to me. **Q: what color/brand is the shower tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi JJ, it could be many companies. Looks like Fireclay to me. My company can make that custom to your specs. Let me know if you want any more info. **Q: Counter tops + Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* It is a beautiful kitchen. I have few questions. 1...can you share the name, color and material of counter tops? 2...are island counter tops double in thickness? At least that is the way it appears on my screen. 3....can you share the back splash information? Thank you in advance. MS A: Hi sahai6, I make a very similar tile for backsplashes just like that. Check out the BonTon Houzz Page and let me know if you see anything you like. **Q: What is the name & price of this tile & where can i get some?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: this is BonTon tile glaze color Skyy 2x4 62.00 a sq ft their \# is 612-270-2533 **Q: How much is this tile configuration?** *(in Photo Questions)* Also, how does it come? Is it already assembled by the block that I see or would I have to put it together? A: Hi Xanida, Thank you for the inquiry. Your question is a good one, as we get it all the time. The image above is a design I call "Art Deco". It is made up of loose pieces which include the 4x8 decorative tiles, 2x4 field tile and 3" ovals. My tile is made to be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, fireplace surrounds or wherever. If you wanted it all mounted and ready to hang (like a picture) we could do that. For pricing it's way easier to discuss all the options on the phone. Please call me directly at 612.270.2533. Thanks again! **Q: Traditional New Jersey Living Room** *(in Before & After)* This traditional New Jersey living room was transformed into a beautiful space with dark hardwood floors, beige walls, & a tile fireplace surround. A: Great finished look. You can't go wrong with beautiful tile around the fire place! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
