All these places in NJ, I live near and I plan to go to them for my kitchen tile. Thank you! Now I am wondering if I should take a look for my foyer areas before calling my installer to change my Lowe's Rialto Beige to Rialto White. I plan to do hardwood in all the main areas but I want Porcelain Tile in the kitchen and the two entrance areas. I love the Rialto Beige but it only looks nice in my front foyer and is too dark in the middle foyer in between the dining room and living room by the bathroom, coat closet, utility room (that had the flood from the central air conditioner unit dying on me and the engineered wood floors are going to be replaced with tile) and garage. I changed the bulb to the maximum 100 watts but the area has no natural light like the front entrance has. Hence, despite the grayish/taupe/off-white color, the Rialto Beige looks like real stone to me and looks nice in both areas. I just hope the Pits are not too difficult to clean. Or should I tell the installer to wait and check out these others places that I plan to check out anyway after my deadlines for my kitchen? I already had gone to Wayne tile and they were so nice but I could not find a tile that I loved as much as the Rialto Series that too me looks like real stone.

Hi Travelbel, that indeed is my kitchen and it's a Jeffrey Court product called Chapter 9 Pietra Opus II Quartz Fire & Ice Brick. Jodi- Here is a link that might be useful: Fire & Ice

https://catalog.wildwoodlamps.com/wwjc/e/wwfc-2/products?category_id=9493 Could be vintage. The closest I could find is Frederick Cooper. See link above.

I was quite pleased with the 3 1/4 oak I purchased from National Hardwood in Skokie. They happened to have a 600 sq ft closeout lot of select long length oak which was large enough for my project. The closeout price was slightly more than $3 per sq ft, the original price was more like $5. I have worked with wood sourced from big stores and the quality was horrible with uneven coloring, short boards, milling errors. This product was gorgeous and almost 100% usable so we still have several pieces left. I had been through some huge stores where I had struggled to find anything I liked but these guys had a smaller selection without out the junk product. If I had not been there for that lot, I would have had a tough time choosing a product.
