Relief Ceramic Tiles for Kitchen
My kitchen had recently installed a kind of terra cotta brown floor from Mexico and I was in a market for backsplash tiles. I was interested in adding extra value to my house and ceramic relief tiles appealed to me as a good idea. Those relief tiles are beautiful, no doubt. Just it takes forever to ship them from Mexico to New York. Still, not their fault I suppose.
