WOW. JUST... WOW.
We are beyond impressed by your Spiritile displays.
Would you believe us if we told you this was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do? Honestly, we’re kicking ourselves for ever thinking we could crown just one winner.
From the touching stories behind each Spiritile chosen for your displays to the intimate look into your homes, we are honored and privileged to have shared this moment with you. Thank you for letting us in.
Originally, as mentioned, we had planned to select a single winner. But as the entries poured in, it became abundantly clear: this was more than a contest. It was a celebration — of creativity, storytelling, and the deep personal meaning these tiles carry.
We discovered that:
-
A single tile can be just as powerful as a wall of 100+
-
A curated theme can be as magical as a carefully spaced trio
-
And in some cases, one entry embodied all of the above
In the end, we were moved to honor as many as we could. Truth be told:
Every single entry received a prize.
But the grand prize winners? 7 in total.
And 8 honorable mentions deserve their moment in the spotlight, too.
With great pride, we reveal the Spiritile Style Grand Prize Winners:
LARGE SPIRITILE DISPLAY (over 50 Tiles)
3-way TIE
WHY WE LOVE IT:A clever, artful homage to the very SPIRIT of Spiritiles.
Every tile tells a story — and this collection sings in harmony. It fills the heart.
WE WE LOVE IT: One of the best things about this display is that the bottom row contains all of the EXCLUSIVE SPIRITILES. If you're not familiar, top-tier long-time retailers have the privledge of selling a Spiritile that only they can sell. This Spiritile is exclusive to the gallery and often reflects the city and community spirit from which that store is located. It's one of the many cool things Houston offers in his collection. This particular collector embraced this and has collected all of them!
WHY WE LOVE IT: Besides the incredible array of Spiritles collected over many years, this display contains very rare Spiritiles and not one Spiritile is hanging! Displayed on a bookshelf like treasured books, this rare and thougtful collection invites you to pick them up and dive in.
MEDIUM SPIRITLE DISPLAY (20-50 Tiles)
WHY WE LOVE IT: Elegant. Clean. Intentional. This Spiritile display fills the space with warmth and invites a closer look.
SMALL SPIRITILE DISPLAY (3-20 Tiles)
WHY WE LOVE IT: Just look at it! Elevated and serene. The turquoise accents in all three tiles complement the glass sculptures below, tying the entire composition together.
SINGLE SPIRITILE DISPLAY (1 Tile)
2-way TIE
WHY WE LOVE THEM:
These prove what we’ve long believed — one Spiritile can hold the spirit of a whole collection.
-
On the left: “Seamate” (#222) surrounded by whimsical sculptures creates a sweet and playful vignette.
-
On the right: “Epic Tales” (#141) beside a towering bookshelf — a perfect companion to the quote, “A reader lives a thousand lives.”
