From a design perspective I like the smaller tiles. Please post pics when you're done with the bathroom...looking forward to seeing the tile installed, it's pretty!

Kim from W.E replied: Dear Tina, We would be happy to refund you for any our our product that you are unhappy with, however we will not be able to replace them with different tiles of the same color. During the process of firing some colors tend to pull back from the edge. This is caused by temperature and the mineral content of the glaze. We do not manufacture the tiles, they are imported from Japan, there fore all of the tile that we have at this time is from the same batch. We are expecting a new order in Feb. or march, however I expect that the colors will be the same as it is due to the glaze color not the batch. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns. Sincerely, Kim Nope, you can't have 'em back- LOL! MINE! I'll deal with it, but I love them, so will accept that they are the way they are, and probably still buy more, more, more!!!

Thank you so much for all the comments (and apologies for taking a while to get back)! kswl2 - I had some doubts myself, mainly on account of the rustic nature of the sink and the kind of modern look of the tile (rather than the colors, which go really well). But everyone I've showed the items to thinks that they go well, and I have come around to it. And I'm kind of obsessed with glass mosaic.... joanie - The bathroom is a small, plain, rectangular full bath (and as I say, DARK!) with a plastic wraparound tub construct (occupying entire far wall) that I will permanently hide behind a plain shower curtain (the less I have to see it, the better)! Thanks for the votes of confidence in white! What I have also started to wonder is whether I could get away with doing one whole wall in the glass mosaic (around vanity, large mirror, and toilet, and using the mosaic then as an accent on the other walls). But would it be too much, too dark? Or would it actually build on the darkness and make it look kind of.... sexy/mysterious/can't think of the right word?! Appreciate your ideas....

You paid for Walker Zanger tile in the first place. Is there any way you can send them the tile and have them lay it out again and paper the front for you? After all, the paint has been removed and the tile is intact. I understand that you're keeping the same installers in part because they are picking up the tab for replacement tile, but if you can salvage the WZ at this point, maybe you should have someone else install it. Cheating indeed. Jeesh.
