The final tile verdict

We have floor tiles! Well, not literally in our hands, but I ordered them on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who commented on my moonstone vs. porcelain dilemma. The winner is…

…the porcelain Volcano tile. And the icing on the cake – it ended up costing $4.50/sq ft, so a lot less than half the price of the moonstone. Which means we can splurge somewhere else :-)

We’re still working on some options for the floor accent tile, but we’ve decided to use single strips of Carrara marble mosaic:

Maybe something like this:

The shower walls will definitely be the wavy tile:

And the niches in the shower and accent will be done in this blue mosaic:

I really like the accent tiles in this shower:

We’ll use the small blue mosaic tiles to do the same in our shower (the mockup represents the wall that will have the faucet and two niches, and the long side wall):

This is the written-in-stone final tile decision, honest! Hubby plans to start demo at the beginning of September – can’t wait!
