Neat concept.
Needs more floors, fewer feet.

Wow, this is awesome. Bookmarked, because I am actually shopping for tiles right now, and this is an inspiration to not be boring.

I'm a tile and ornate floor addict, so I will be here a while.

French encaustic tiles are fantastic, very tough and can be bought for reasonable prices. I bought some that are 100 years old on French eBay, salvage, and now my kitchen floor rules.

I love these as much as I hate his shoes.

These tiles were also exported to the New World. Nice homes of the era in colonial Mexico have these floors. Now some of those homes are beautifully restored and some of these floors sit under the desks of dilapidated auto salvage shops or simply abandoned buildings, with trees sprouting in the rubble over the tiles.
