The Studio · Beta
Meet Madge, your tile designer.
Madge is our AI designer. Tell her what you love, like the lake house, the book club or the dog who runs your life, and she designs all 160 tiles around it. She asks a few questions, you answer the ones you like, and nothing is painted until you approve her plan. Since she's a computer program, she's up at midnight and never tired of questions. She does have opinions.
Set aside an hour or two. Most sets take about 45 minutes of your own time, longer if you ask for a lot of do-overs. You don't have to finish in one sitting: your answers and pictures are saved as you go, and you pick up where you left off.
You'll make a free account first, so your set is saved to you.
Your first two sessions with Madge are free, and every set you order earns your next one.
Madge is in beta, which means she is new and still learning. Sometimes she will miss: a picture that isn't what you asked for, a count that's off, a page that stalls. That is ours to fix, not yours. Tell us when it happens: we read every Madge session and make her better from what we find. Tell us here. Thank you for helping her learn.
Already have your artwork? Bring it here and place it on the tiles yourself. No pass needed.
How It Works
How it works: eight steps, one opinionated designer.
- Step 1
Tell Madge
Give her a world: "garden gnomes," "Palm Springs in 1962," "my book club, but make it dangerous." She asks the right questions. You just answer.
- Step 2
Check the plan
Madge writes up her plan for the whole set: every joker, flower, dragon and wind. Read it, nudge it, approve it. Nothing is painted until you say so.
- Step 3
Pick your look
She paints a few sample pictures in two or three styles, like storybook, inked field guide or soft watercolor. Pick the one that feels like your table.
- Step 4
Paint it, family by family
The pictures appear one by one as Madge works through the set. Keep the page open while she paints; if you close it, she stops and picks up again when you come back.
- Step 5
Look it over
Look over every picture. Not sold on one? Ask for a do-over: 30 are included, and Madge has twenty more up her sleeve, free, if you use them all.
- Step 6
Arrange your tiles
Madge lays your pictures onto all 160 tiles. Like them as they are? Go straight to your cart. Want to move something? Open the editor and drag it.
- Step 7
Check at real size
Print the proof sheet, or line the proof page up to a ruler on screen, and look every tile over at its real size. Tick the box in your cart.
- Step 8
Order
Order your set. We print, you gloat.
“Beige is not a personality, honey. Tell me about your table and we'll find yours.”
Designing with Madge is free.
Your first two sessions with Madge are free, and every set you order earns your next one. Your session, your plan and every finished picture stay saved to your account, and nothing is ordered until you put a set in your cart.
Every session comes with 30 do-overs. When those are gone, Madge gives you twenty more, free, once; after that a pack of twenty is $10, and that $10 does not come off your set.
Want another set going before you order? A $39 Studio Pass opens one more session. The $39 pays for the designing, and the whole $39 goes toward your tiles at checkout when you order within six months. Your set (from $349 (regularly $399, Black Friday through November 30)) is a separate purchase, after you've seen every tile. The pass isn't refundable: her designing starts the moment you buy it.
You'll make a free account first, so your set is saved to you.
