Ok, thanks, Gitananoel! I like simple too, but I also like a bold look with the black - I am sick of making decisions - lol - I wish I could go away for a couple of months, come back and have it ALL DONE!!! I am told when my floor tile goes in and then the toilet, I WILL have to go away since I only have the one bathroom and I guess the tile has to "sit" for a couple of days. Good grief, why did I start this? Because, I keep saying, it's all worth it in the end.

We are using AO Catarina coliseum white for our master bath in our new build, because I saw pps7's awesome bathroom and by some miracle of miracles, the tile is actually available at the flooring store my builder uses and within budget. How often does that happen??! We also need tile for the kid's bath and guest bath upstairs. Has anyone used the same tile but in Sardinian Sand? I haven't been able to find a picture of it installed. I'm just wondering if it has a pink or orange undertone or if it's a true tan.

my catarina coliseum white floor tile 12x12 cost about $2.25 a piece. I think the shiny 10x13 wall tile was just a littlr bit more money but not by much. This was for the bathroom. Meanwhile I am using the same floor tile in my kitchen floor and the backsplash will be white subway tiles. The catarina tiles are easy to clean.

I had the AO Coliseum tile installed this past week. I'm concerned because the tile guy said I had to use a 3/16th grout spacing because "anything smaller will crack". I told him I wanted smaller grout lines so it looks more like marble (1/8th inch spacing). The tile place where I got it also told me to use a smaller grout line. I feel like I let him decide for me. I'm upset about this and I hope the 3/16th grout lines will look okay. The smaller grout lines look very nice in the photos here. I'm upset that I allowed him to sort of 'bully' me and tell me what I had to do. I also later looked on the AO website and they said 1/8 spacing is recommended and the tile is 'rectified' - darn it, I saw that too late! We're having the grout put in tomorrow (white)...hopefully the grout lines won't look too big. Just venting a little here. I do like the tile as a nice option to get the look of carrara marble. One question, does anyone have any thoughts on using a real carrara marble vanity top, or possibly black matte granite?
