"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 labels on tiles would be an important accessory to this theme.
