I went on a house tour a few years ago of local homes from the 1860s-turn of 1900 and the older ones all had mottled colored tile in navy, burgundy, hunter green and black, and as the homes became "newer," ones like mine toward 1900 had the same style of tiles but in pastels. Like the original fireplace in my home has mint green tile which I LOVE.<br /><br />I was hoping to find pale blue tile in our architectural salvage store, but they only had a handful of tiles that would work in stock-- and I needed a lot more of them.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-32028485571806091982009-12-02T20:38:56.807-08:002009-12-02T20:38:56.807-08:00That excites me to hear that the Victorian look is...That excites me to hear that the Victorian look isn't very popular right now, because that, of course, means more for me too!!

The only Rosewood I've ever seen at the thrifts was badly damaged and way overpriced. And even so, someone bought it!

That and being sort of consistent in the kinds of things you like.<br /><br />Sometimes I'll see fellow shoppers with a whole cart of things that look like they go together.
