What you might do is email restorationhardware.com. Chances are someone there might be able to tell you exactly what the tile is.

Yeah, I did email them, no word back yet. I thought some of you experts hanging around might have seen similar tile and could clue me in faster than RH would get back to me.

RH replied to my request with a stock 'sorry, we know nothing' response. I guess I'll have to keep digging, maybe one of the local tile/stone showrooms will have some info. Or maybe one of the GW tile experts will have a vision and come up with something. Luckily I have some time before tiling hits the task list.

It looks like a 2"x8" with a faux wood finish. I've seen the wood finish in a tile from the maker Porcelanosa but I don't think it came in a 2x8. If indeed it is a wood finish, search this forum, as I'm seen some discussion of them in the past. I'm shopping for tile now and it's not easy - beautiful web sites but I can't seem to navigate them properly to find info. Also, take Porcelanosa for example, what I see in the local showroom has no presence on the Porcelanoa web site. Also, 2x8's are rare out there - I was looking for a 2x8 and found only one example, available in a very limited number of colors, so I'm now looking at a huge 12"x35" tile.

I was going to say Walker Zanger xilo in beige but I think the one in your picture has more variation than that.

Here is a link that might be useful: xilo

Hey, I think ericaa's right - I went to the Walker Zanger site and found something on page 248 of the online catalog that looks like the wall in the RH catalog - skip to the ceramic section of the WZ catalog to get to page 238 and then go page by page till you get to 248.

That looks pretty close and may very well be it, although it doesn't seem to come in anything close to the dimensions in the picture. At least this gives me a lead to follow. Thanks ericaa!
