Imagine the day you own the grand old house of your dreams. When it comes to refurbishment, there is a small problem...chipped and missing tiles. Joe at Santa Maria Tiles in Randwick is a professional collector of old tiles dating from the early 1900's. You can visit the shop with the towering boxes or simply post a sample of your tile and he will try and match it with an 80% success rate. There are multiples in many designs, so you can always start your tiling from scratch. Now, just to get that house.
I don't think we have anything like that here in Vancouver. Wish we did. Love the yellow tiles!
