• Where: Provence, France
• Why: We're looking for a house for my grandmother to live in in her old age. This house isn't too far from my Aunt's and has beautiful original details like this amazing tile.

This isn't just tile; it's encaustic tile, where the colors are actually poured in, rather than just printed or screened onto the ceramic. Such beautiful stuff ... or can be. This would look great in a superminimalist interior if used properly. Friends of mine in New Jersey have an 1850s house in which the floor of the entrance hall is original encaustic tiles framed by a wide border of oak. Very beautiful.
