These feel mid-century modern. Love them. The backing felt like loofa sponge and stretched when it was in place with adhesive. This could be a problem. They are pricey-wish I could afford more to keep on hand. Very retro. I added these to a Kante Small 13 in. Tall Slate Gray Lightweight Concrete Square Outdoor Planter with accents of leftover tiles: The smaller accent tiles HOUSE OF MOSAICS LTD Geo Moroccan Vintage Multi Geometric Pattern Glass Mosaic Wall Tile are brighter and did not match as well but I needed a filler so they did ok. The larger HOUSE OF MOSAICS LTD Geo Moroccan Large Multi Geometric Gloss Glass Mosaic Wall Tile were muted colors and subtle-they matched very well. I used about 2 cups of sanded tan grout. Love the finished product. Love that I can buy individually instead of a box. Please sell more tiles by the piece for artisans and crafters.

Great Tile for Fireplace Suround
We needed a neutral looking tile to cover our white carrera marble fireplace surround, which had become yellowed from the heat. I wanted something that would still work with the hearth, which was still in good condition. It was hard to find a tile that was pretty, but still had a high enough PEI rating to work as a fireplace surround. This tile was just perfect. I wasn't sure about the color, but it is darker than it looks in the bathroom picture supplied here. I've attached photos of our finished project. The paint color on the wall is Wind Chime by Benjamin Moore, which is a light yellow-green color.

Shower Pan & Deco Band
We used the Rustica Mini tiles in our shower pan & accented the shower wall with the Rustica in the deco band. Matched with the Sandy Beach Tile, we think it's an upscale look. Seemed pretty easy for our tile guys to line up the small squares in the deco band but was a little more difficult to do in the pan. You don't notice the misaligned squares in the shower pan, but they're there. Great look!

tile
This special order tile gave our bathroom remodel project that custom look without a lot of fuss. Installation was easy with the mesh backing on the 12 x 12 inch sections. We did receive one section with a tile reversed on the mesh. Luckily we caught it before the thinset hardened. All in all, I would recommend this product to my friends. Home delivery was easy and speedy.

Excellent Quality Tile
Subtle and classy, with slightly different color tone and texture of each of the tiles. We used premium epoxy grout and it took our contractor a little extra time to complete the tile work, but at the end we are very happy with the results. This is in a small bathroom, floor to ceiling throughout the entire room. Looks great.

Whew! It's perfect!
It's difficult ordering tile on line without seeing it in person. It is perfect! Great accent in my shower with terra cotta wall tile.

Accent tile
It was a bit pricy, but a very beautiful tile. I used it as an accent next to a new sink just installed. Must be grouted with non-sanded because the sanded grout will scratch the surface of the tiles.

Absolutely gorgeous, must see in person as the colors are richer and more varied than you can see online.
I went to the local store to get a sample of a different color in this series. They only had a sample board, and the other color was not on the board, but this color turned out to be perfect. You have to see tile in person. This goes perfectly with the Three Rivers flagstone I have for the pool coping and decking. It will go along the waterline and on the dividing wall between pool and spa, and it will look divine. The tiles look like gemstones, or at least real stone. Very beautiful. The blue color in the series is also very pretty. Home Depot has a huge selection of tile, but always get a sample before buying. I ordered tile for another house remodel, and the tile looked nothing like what I thought, color-wise. Luckily for me, I liked it better than the color I thought I was buying! But that taught me you have to see the tile in person. The only drawback to this tile is it is expensive! But great quality. I have bought a lot of different tile from Home Depot and it has all been very good quality and I get great compliments on my remodels.

The picture is true to the actual color, and it is really pretty. Subtle yet eye-capturing. We are using it to accent the wall in the bathroom.

Looks Great
This was just the right sized tiles and color combination for under cabinet/wall finishing in our kitchen. We have honey oak cabinets and peach with grey swirl countertops and this pulled it together along with our blues, greys and reds elsewhere in the eating area and great room. Perfect and easy to install. Used grey grout which worked perfect as well. Problem free.

Tile used for kitchen backsplash
I purchased this tile for a kitchen backsplash that has a window and some measurements that are not symmetrical. After thinking about my options for over a year, I decided this tile (which is comprised of multiple half inch tiles) was perfect, and would not require a lot of cutting. (I did not have to use my tile saw AT ALL, only sniippers.) The final look is neutral in color but very nice, and makes white kitchen cabinetry stand out. The tiles have an appealing glaze that maintained its consistency after grouting, and washing. The tile is very light, and easy to adhere to the wall with light mortar.
Two concerns for the DIY'er. You will have to spend a lot of time moving the individual tiles to make sure the lines are straight. There are too many tiles to use spacers, so this project requires patience, and a fairly level surface area. Since you will need to move tiles around, I would not recommend using the new "adhesive" mortar sheets that stick onto the wall. You will need the time it takes for regular mortar to dry to make sure everything looks straight. If the area is large enough, it doesn't have to be perfect. Everything looks like it blends together. Also, I would recommend using an off white (bone, or antique) grout. Overall, great product, and very inexpensive compared to designer tile stores, which I found to charge more than $20 square/foot, and $200 in shipping for a similarly weighted product.

We love the tile
The tile is being used for an extended counter top in the dining room. It is beautiful, understated, classy, and practical. Just what I was looking for, and at a much better price than visually comparable ceramics.

I bought one piece of this tile to check that the colors and quality would match the rest of the products in our bathroom remodel. We haven't used it yet, but I will buy all that I need to complete the project. Colors are beautiful and clear, and I'm happy with the quality, too.

Rustica Spring Field Glazed Porcelin Mosaic Tile
Bought this to surround my living room fireplace. Ordered one sheet to be sure color was accurate. Although the tile is beautiful and good quality, the color shown is more aqua/teal and in reality it has more sage/green. Other than that, very nice tile and worth the price. Am thinking of using in kitchen as backsplash I like it so much!

Beautiful Tile
I used this tile as Cooking Range backsplash and it looks great. I have a small kitchen and I wanted to use mosaic so that it look spacious. The tile served the purpose. Even the installer was impressed.
