Mexican Tile
Mexican tile with Acapulco design is what I decided to use on our kitchen backsplash as well as the counter. I have terra cotta color floor tiles very similar in color with the tile pattern inside. Also I used cobalt bullnose on the counter edges which were painted with the same blue color as the remaining portion of the tile design. Tiles from Mexico are amazing and I love my kitchen more than ever before.

To truly appreciate the beauty of this pattern you need to lay down at least a square foot of tiles. The design is made of white circles otherwise not visible by looking at a single tile. Thank you for customizing our order and painting the navy blue elements of the pattern in black.
