I like to think of myself as the un-gringo gringo, but I'm as big of a sucker as the next guy for crazy (cheesey) talevera tiles.
There's a wonderful local artisan in Capula who makes beautiful tiles, and can custom make you whatever you want. They run a few pesos a tile, and at the time we purchased tiles from her, the price was the same whether she had them in stock or had to make new ones.
To design our kitchen and bathrooms, we consulted with a few really great books, including our favorite, Mexicocina
Then we went to the website Tierra y Fuego and literally cut and paste the tiles we wanted into our interior designer's sketches.
It was that easy.
Don't believe the hype that tiles are super expensive or hard to come by. Just order early and don't be afraid to be cheesey.
