Secondes - Arc Agrumes sur Craie

The paint imperfections really add character to this tile—each one looks subtly different on the wall. I laid them in a small kitchen backsplash and the matte chalk finish feels smooth to the touch. A great way to get a unique look without the premium price.

I was a bit nervous about buying seconds, but the chalky base with those citrus arcs gives each tile so much character. The tiny chips and paint variances just add to the handmade feel, and 13x13cm is a perfect scale for a small accent wall.

The paint "imperfections" on these tiles actually give them a unique, handcrafted feel that looks intentional in my kitchen backsplash. For the price of seconds, the minor chips are barely noticeable once installed, and the citrus on chalk color is beautifully soft.
