"Everything Old is New Again"
It's refreshing to note that gone are the days that countertops
and backsplashes have to match. There are no decorating rules.
The focal point in your kitchen, wine cellar, bathroom, etc
evolves with adding the personal touches that are close to your
heart.
Nothing sets the stage for Vintage comfort like a vintage
marble tile mural or marble tile wall display in images and
labels borrowed from the past. A new and personalized way to
showcase a collection of memorabilia, ephemera, or images.
A marble backsplash mural or wall display makes the perfect
complement for antiques, beautiful china, flea market finds,
vintage furnishings, garage sales, ephemera, trade show
collections, or bottles of your favorite wine or brew.
The images are baked into the marble so the quality of the
marble with its shading, nicks, crannies and rounded edges
become part of the old world, vintage and European effect .
Perfume Label Art, dated from 1894 - 1905 on Tumbled Marble
Tiles, an unusual wall decor for the bath, dressing room, powder
room, spa, country club. Alternate plain botticino tumbled
marble tiles, or add a few tiles onto each wall. An important
trend in decorating is chic and shabby. Perfume labels on tiles
would be an important accessory to this theme. Alternate wine
label images on tumbled marble tiles to create a wine collectors
dream environment. Looking for something different? Vintage
Veggie, fruit or flower seed packets transferred onto marble for
a kitchen backsplash, pantry or garden room. Crazy about pets?
Vintage cat and dog food can labels on tiles will complete your
pets Bark Avenue suite. A dressing area with old hotel and
airline tiles randomly placed on a marble wall as a backdrop for
your favorite vintage Louis Vuitton trunk-- ooh la la
There are no limits to your imagination and collection .
