I know the 10 x 13 only comes in polished. Not sure about the 12 x 12. We have honed 12 x 12 on our floor and polished 10 x 13 on our shower wall.

Cathy-- no, this is the first time I've heard the term, but not the first time I've heard of the system. I just never knew what it was called. And if it's a short sale, it's probably a great deal. Bigtime short sale. For the condition it's in right now, the offer was for about 1/3 of the full value. To that, right off the bat, we'll be adding quite a bit of upgrades, including all new replacement windows throughout the house, a brand new heating system, and blown in insulation, which will only add to the value, making it an even better deal. We'll see. I still haven't heard from the bank yet, which means they didn't take it as a joke and refuse it right off. We'll see. As for the bathroom, I'm not sure what we're going to do. Personally, I'd prefer to do all new fixtures, and really fire it up. But my wife is another one who likes the vintage fixtures, so I may be overruled. :-) Gotta keep Momma happy!! One thing is for certain-- the tub will lose the showerhead, and a separate shower will be built.

Ha Stinky-Gardener that is my blog! I was going to come post that same picture even though it's not the best. I wish I would have had more daylight to take some better pictures. Like the pp mentioned the AO tile is a cooler color and the Daltile is a warmer color. I preferred the AO tile because I wanted to use a cool blue color for the walls and because the veining looked more real IMO. See if you can have your tile place order in a full size AO Catarina tile or call around and find a different store with a larger sample. What you pair with the tile may be your deciding factor. That's why I included some quartz and granite samples in my picture.

I've got to say pps7 I was so excited when I came across the pictures of your bathroom a few months ago! It was very similar to what we were looking to do for our main bathroom with the AO Catarina tile, white wainscoting, dark furniture style vanities, and soft blue green walls. It was awesome to see it all put together and have it turn out so good! You did a great job! Our bathroom is smaller and only has a shower/tub combo so I hope we can get the same look in our scaled down version.
