Fun Talavera Tiles
Let me tell you that these tiles are stunning and fun! Not only do they look absolutely stunning in my kitchen, but they have also sparked endless conversations with friends and family about the unique and bold color scheme. But the fun doesn't stop there - these tiles have also given me the perfect opportunity to show off my (admittedly mediocre) salsa dancing skills every time I enter the room. The vibrant colors just seem to bring out my inner Mariachi and I can't help but bust a move.

Cactus talavera tiles
I am so excited to see my new kitchen backsplash with those bright and entertaining Mexican tiles. The pattern is simple but the hues are very vivid which probably is not for everyone's taste but I promise that these tiles look very sturdy and professional.
