When I stumbled on the very lovely Robot Candy shop, which sells recycled and vintage tiles, mostly sold as coasters, an idea popped into my head: instead of buying new why not look for old tiles next time the bathroom or kitchen needs a re-fit?
These ones are beautiful and only $6 (£3) each, but if you want to do some serious DIY, looking closer to home for job lots may be more practical for decorating purposes. A quick search on Ebay soon brought up a whole array of ceramics, many sold as job lots and with some really interesting an unusual designs. So why not give your home some character and avoid buying mass-produced products from the DIY shop?
