I ordered this tile specifically for our new kitchen - it was very hard to find anything to go with the yellow walls that I planned. The tiles are thin like stained glass and the colored tiles have variations in their color to add visual interest - some have streaks of metallic or speckles of color. We have yet to use them. Since they thinner than other tile, i.e. subway tiles, they will be less weight on the base surface. I think they have a great retro look and because of all of the primary color's - there are lots of possibilities in coordinating the dishware, linens, etc. I think these tiles would be great in a child's bathroom!
