There are tons of places...
There are tons of places where you can get custom photo printed tiles made. Just carefully photograph the ones you have and get new one's made. It's not the cheapest solution but is probably the easiest and closest to the real thing you're going to find
Thanks H. Moon and Spanky....
Thanks H. Moon and Spanky.
Spanky, although I might be able to conceal my hoarding problem with tidy living room photos, there is a lady friend I have living here with me who's patience is running out. I think it has something to do with being able to access the washer and dryer in the garage, or navigate the room that is supposed to be serving as our office space.
sounds familiar tchp
I couldn't bring myself to show "the rest of the story" either!
Although there is much more STUFF in other parts of my house, it is too embarrassing to share right now. I will post more pics of the underbelly when I straighten up a bit. (I'm sure Mrs Head will be thrilled)
Thanks for letting us see the good stuff tchp!
More stuff
I added more photos to tumblr link, such as it is. Please excuse my lack of expertise with posting. If i wait to get everything cleaned up and just right, I will never do it.
There are some new photos at the beginning, and some new ones at the end.
Everything comes up twice, but at least scrolling down is easy enough.
The wire and enamel wall sculpture is by Willard Rosenquist, a former UC Berkeley professor. There is one close up to see the enamel.
The Nelson Secretary Desk is missing it's basket (hint hint?)
There is a close up of the "ALLIED AIRCRAFT CORP stamp on the Eames splint. (The blood doesn't show in this photo!)
Some more Nelson clocks.
Beige cat is Henry, Black cat is BUD. (Henry never met a shell he didn't like-- Just like me I guess!)
I have a spot in the living room where I rotate different pairs of shells. The faded red pair of shells is my favorite, even though the pairing is not original. The shell on the left is an original "as found" Zenith rope shell with the first LAR base with double rounded tabs.
Also threw in an older shot of the outdoor "Eames Shell Buffet" (from the past discussion on Eames shell colors) and one photo of the dawn sunrise as it hits the living room wall.
There will be more photos, and some editing. I suspect.
Thanks and have a safe and sane Memorial day.

thanks kin
"cozy" is the word for it. A little TOO cozy sometimes.
I'm wondering if you noticed the edge of that well worn out 671 ottoman in one of the pics. (Yes THAT one)
Kin, I enjoyed seeing your fast-growing collection. And still envious of your grey Zenith chair. Loved that flappy armed Eames lounge you posted too. Hilarious.
thank you very much woody
The wall sculpture has a few broken welds, but what the heck.
I will try and post a shot of each enameled rectangle soon. A couple of them look like little Barnett Newman paintings! And some are just odd motifs. The artist is not well known for these sculptures. I looked him up and he was mostly associated with some kind of early computer generated "light works".
And yeah, its a steep hill! The views are the reason I haven't left yet. I forgot about "practical" when I moved in to an unfinished shell of a house 25 years ago! It is a small place, so the big views do help balance things out at least.
edit: If I stand on the roof in WINTER, I can see a sliver of San Francisco Bay. It may not look it, but I am only about 15 miles from the city.
Mr Moon
it's your lucky day 😉

Robert, thank you so much for the heads up however the pattern is slightly different to mine.
The colours are bang on though, they must be by the same manufacturer.
I have just bought 4 of them anyway as they may be the closest I ever get! Also if my original plan of salvaging some from behind a mirror to transplant goes tits up I'll have these as a back up.
Thank you again, well spotted.
