VARGAS TILE

.

I began by going to Vargas Tiles at the recommendation of my contractor, Taos Style Builders. At the end of my first visit, I left with a box of sample tiles to bring back to the house and consider. When I had made several choices, I returned and set about plotting out the layout of the tiles in order to get a pattern which pleased me. I was visiting my Taos second home from NY and my time for choosing was limited, so when I chose something for which the necessary square footage would not be available, I was in a position to alter my design. I believe I ended up with a design that was more interesting due to the necessity of interspersing some different tiles amongst the ones that formed the bulk of the design. All were blue, off-white and terra-cotta colored and the selection was more than adequate. The store has large, plank tables on which one may lay out designs, taking as long as one wants to "play" with the tiles and getting feedback if one wants it. I liked meeting the various family members and the dog on my several visits.
