Bormes-les-Mimosas, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region, in southeastern France is an historic village of medieval homes, overgrown with bougainvillea.  Blooms and blossoms abound that delight the senses - especially when their counterpoint are antique stone and terra cotta tiles.  We were doubly delighted visiting this village, when we secured a lot of antique French terra cotta tiles that seemed as if the flowers created the tiles themselves.  Their colors are an absolute mirror of this town - dark and light rose petal pink, butter, clay, peach and acorn.  The surface texture is sublime - a soft, matte patina with exquisitely aged edge detail.  We paired this floor with a new color way in our French oak flooring series: The Kings of France 18th Century French Oak Floors in Wide Plank Solid or Engineered - The Country House Collection: FALLEN ACORN.  It marries beautifully with this antique clay tile, weighting the acorn colors where both floors radiate historic authenticity, joy and elegance.
