Tile Vault: Green and Yellow Provençal Tiles

072308_tile4.jpg072308_susina.jpgThe font sort of says it all, but as soon as we walked into Susina Bakery on Beverly (after checking out Modernica and Walnut Wallpaper) we were charmed.
Walking in feels like Art Nouveau meets the South of France meets California. Chandeliers hanging, sweets baking and yes, of course, the tiling throughout the store is warm and beautiful:

Gorgeous! Wish I lived there so I could check it out. I really like the random yellow tile in the second photo.
