6x6" Botticino Tumbled Marble Tiles. Interesting to note she matched the grout color to to the image-- Grout color in the Bridge is greenish and the Waterlilies is bluish.. Not too much pop from the grout and also it doesn't match the field tiles grout color... Brilliant : ) Keep this in mind when planning your mural project.
