Does anyone know a source for these tiles?

This French-Moroccan styled kitchen has appeared on several blogs over the years, but I've never followed the trail to its origin. I sometimes dream of tiles like these. Once, I found a source in England for variously colored tiles that were reminiscent of these, but I can no longer locate the file. Does anyone know of a source in the U.S.? Does anyone know the original source of this much-reproduced photo?

I googled and followed some blogs and it led to one of three Scandanavian companies: Rum, Bolig and Bo Bedre. I think you may have visited this blog already but in case not, here's the link that will allow you to click to the sites.

where to find affordable delft tile?
Q
Comments (12)
Anyone found any other sources? I'm looking at a kitchen backsplash, which is a considerable amount of money when you're looking at the decorated tiles running $19-30 each (from these two sources) and the field tiles $10 each. I'd be perfectly happy to use cheap, plain white field tiles and just a few or a row of the decorated tiles - if only I could be sure they'd match! Which I sort of doubt for handmade tiles. Don't get me wrong - the handmade and hand painted tile is wonderful, and these are much better prices than ordering from The Netherlands. But is there no way to get a cheaper Delft-look backsplash? Thanks!

Oh, well, at least we tried. Thanks for letting me know the outcome. Most bedding, like clothing, cycles through the marketplace pretty quickly. Some might end up on a sale site or eBay, but you might have to search for a long time. Your friend may have to replace the whole set or find a coordinating duvet cover for her shams.

Does anyone know of a source for Persicaria affinis 'Dimity'?

Well, I still don't have 'Dimity', though I did get last spring 'Border Jewel'. I ordered 'Dimity' from that Accents nursery with the link above along with several other plants. But when my order arrived several months later, he had sold out the Dimity and a refund was included. I was quite annoyed. In my experience, quality nurseries hold your plant until they ship--they don't sell it off to someone else.

I don't know. But it sure looks like somebody in that house got a lathe for Xmas!

Thanks, folks. Yes, I had seen the Serra reference before. Note, someone asked her about the tiles and she never answered. I've been looking for variegated green tiles for my laundry room, but it's so difficult to find just the right tones (duh!). Bahacca, I cannot get that website to work; it won't open on either of my computers. I'm such a sucker for tile that I tried for an hour. LOL. I've discovered that my computer makes greens look bluer than they really are and gray-greens greener than they really are. I have to keep reminding myself of this when I'm oohing and aahing over finishes I see. Once again reminding myself of the necessity of seeing real life samples!

Oh, my. Too rich for my laundry room, but wow:

For the time being, I'm concentrating on ceramic, rather than glass or shell.

Remodelista just did a post on these! I'm in love with the off-white ones which I want to use to accent my range wall. I linked the Remodelista post below.

Hirsch glass is the maker of the ones I posted. They actually do custom tiles as well, so...

Zeebee, how odd that they did this just now, and on my late mother's birthday, when I happened to think of this image. Thank you so much for the link. The image has been out there in cyber space for years, with seemingly no information!
Bahacca, I will check out more on Hirsch. I did find a great sample at Dunis, which is more local for me. In another oddity, the folks at Dunis cannot identify who created that glaze. It was the only tile in the entire, large studio which none of the artisans could claim as his/her own. I'm on a strange quest.

These are seriously amazing tiles. Anyone know a source in the pacific northwest??
Maybe someone more skilled in the ways of the Gardenweb could post a few of the pics from the remodelista link. They're so good they should be shared!
