Who Says Tile is Cold?

One thing I remember most about my first childhood house (okay - second house, since I don't remember much before I moved there at age two) is the kitchen. I guess my mother felt that the white tile walls needed a little something. So she painted them. Sounds artsy craftsy - but it really was lovely. A simple Delft-like design in greens - more of an accent than an overpowering burst of color.

I've always loved pretty tile.

It makes me really hate the generic ivy motif tile in my own kitchen. Just another project for the list...
