Borrego Springs Remodeling Discovery... Tierra y Fuego Tile

My husband (The Very Happy Mr. W) and I remodeled our Borrego Springs Pueblo home partly from Seattle.  Although we were in Borrego Springs for a portion of the remodeling period, we had to make decisions over the phone and do alot of shopping on-line. 

Those who know me would agree I am a great "googler".   I discovered tons of wonderful resources for Mexican decor, pueblo building supplies, tiles, furniture, light fixtures, etc. on the web and by asking around.  I'll share one with you every once and a while.

Through the remodeling process, I was very pleasantly surprised by a few companies and also learned which ones should be avoided.  
A "Find" for Mexican Tile
For Mexican tile, you cannot beat the selection or quality at Tierra y Fuego.  The website is fantastic, almost everything is in stock at the San Diego warehouse, and your order will be shipped in one to two days.  If you live in the San Diego area and would prefer to visit the warehouse store, you will not be disappointed!  The store was filled with the most beautiful selection of Mexican, cement, saltillo, Santa Barbara, Mozaik, Terra Nova, etc. tiles I have ever seen.

Our Master Bathroom Border Tile
Staff at Tierra y Fuego are very helpful and once you've decided what you'd like, drive around to the loading dock and they will carefully wrap and load your tiles and supplies into your car.  Beautiful.
