Just came across this pic on the "This Old House" site - terracotta tiles.

Early in our planning we fell in love with this tile - reclaimed French chateau parefeuille.

Here's another:

I've put the web link for the tile place below. One day, when we buy and restore that old farmhouse in Provence! :-)

We did one wall in our kitchen red brick. We were originally going to go with Inglenook Tile, they hand make the bricks -- we went to the shop to see it done, it was really cool. But we found another brand majorly discounted at the place we purchased our marble (it's Owens Corning, but I don't know if you can use it on a floor??)

But check out Inglenook...

I love love love the reclaimed French chateau parefeuille! Do you have an idea of about how much it costs?

CS - just looked through my (stack o) papers for a receipt from Pave - we had ordered a sample - but can't find it. Check the web site - pricing may be there. When we were considering it, I spoke with someone from Pave and they were very helpful.

Good luck - would love to see this in someone's kitchen, since it didn't make it to mine!

I have emailed them to request a quote. Do you recall if it was comparable to brick pavers or tile?

Look into Sunshine Pavers.

We had planned to get the French parefeuille tiles, but we couldn't get them quickly without paying what was too much for us. It would have been about $14 per square foot if we had been able to wait 4 to 6 months for delivery. But, we needed them more quickly than that, and the only source that had them in stock was charging $27 per square foot. For us, $14 would have been steep, but worth it. Unfortunately, $27 was out of the question. This was all in late 2007/early 2008, so the prices and availability may be much different now. We went with travertine for about $5 per square foot and have been pleased with it so far.

We actually got a sample of the Sunshine Pavers but I'm having a hard time picturing it completed. The website has a couple of photos, but not enough to give me a good idea. Anyone have pictures of their kitchen with Sunshine pavers?

I just posted pics to your other thread.

nice, thanks!!
