I LOVE this. But I think I personally would really need a designer's hand to use it correctly.
These look great right now, but perhaps a bit trendy.
My husband and I are renovating an apartment building and dealing with many "great ideas" from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. I'm not sure that any of the designs shown here would stand the test of time very well, and tile is expensive and time-consuming to redo.
I'm increasingly a fan of more plain, classic looks.
While some of these are fun, I can imagine some of them, ten years from now, being AT "Good Questions: How do I live with this horrible dated tile?"
I love all of these, especially the Confetti, the Big Sur, and the Emma. I agree that they'd probably get dated eventually, though some of them (like Fog Bank) look like they'd hold up pretty well over time.
Penny tiles bother me. Square mosaic tiles look fine and pretty timeless, but those round ones -- nope.
These mod, 60s-style tiles are very cool. Personally, I like an iridescent glass backsplash- I just got one from GlassTileWarehouse.com. I especially love that tiled sink!
