Here's the recipe from the Ball Blue Book, it takes hot peppers but you could easily leave those out. It's very similar to the one posted by Sooz: Pickled Garlic Pickling mellows garlicÂs pungent taste, creating a unique bite-sized burst of flavour to accent a variety of dishes. Toss pickled garlic into Italian spaghetti sauce, serve it in sandwiches, use as an antipasto or a garnish for salads. 12 large heads garlic, about 1 3/4 lb (838 g) 2 1/2 cups (625 ml) white vinegar 1 cup (250 ml) dry white wine 1 tbsp (15ml) pickling salt 1 tbsp (15ml) granulated sugar 1 tbsp (15ml) dried oregano 5 dried whole chili peppers Place 5 clean 250 or 236 ml mason jars on a rack in a boiling water canner; cover jars with water and heat water to a simmer (180°F/82°C). Set screw bands aside; heat SNAP Lids in hot water, NOT boiling (180°F/82°C). Keep jars and SNAP Lids hot until ready to use. Separate garlic bulbs into cloves. To soften and loosen skins, blanch garlic cloves in rapidly boiling water 30 seconds; immediately immerse in cold water, drain and peel cloves. In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, pickling salt, sugar, and oregano. Bring to a boil; boil gently 1 minute; remove from heat. Add peeled garlic cloves to hot vinegar mixture. Stir constantly 1 minute. Pack garlic and 1 dried whole chili pepper into a hot jar to within 3/4 inch (2 cm) of top rim. Add hot brine to cover garlic to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of top rim (headspace). Using nonmetallic utensil, remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Centre SNAP Lid on jar; apply screw band securely & firmly until resistance is met Âfingertip tight. Do not overtighten. Place jar in canner; repeat for remaining garlic, chili and hot liquid. Cover canner; bring water to a boil. At altitudes up to 1000 ft (305 m), process Âboil filled jars  10 minutes.* When processing time is complete, turn heat off and remove canner lid. When boil subsides - bubbles no longer rise to surface (3 to 5 minutes) - remove jars without tilting. Cool jars upright, undisturbed 24 hours. DO NOT RETIGHTEN screw bands. After cooling, check jar seals. Sealed lids curve downward and do not move when pressed. Remove screw bands; wipe and dry bands and jars. Store screw bands separately or replace loosely on jars, as desired. Label and store jars in a cool, dark place. Makes about 5 x 250 or 236 ml jars. Annie

Honestly, it looks like tile that could come from a variety of manufactures. I would get with your designer and show them this and I bet they would be able to find a local source for you. They will also be able to make sure it goes with the design of the rest of your home (wood floors, paint, furniture, etc). I love the larger scale of the tile. Looks great.

Cat_mom...I love Kohler‘s cast iron receptor and would buy one in a heartbeat, but my 120-year old house (a converted schoolhouse) is built over a mostly inaccessible crawl space with dirt floor and my cast iron bathtub is always ice cold. That’s why I’m considering the MTI acrylic pan. It’s heavier than other brands and has some custom options, such as a foam base that provides a sturdy surface (no flexing) and radiant heat built into the floor. Pricewise, it’s similar to cast iron. The radiant heat option adds $800 to the cost, so I’m forgoing it. The no-slip surface is very important.

Looks absolutely FAB U LOUS! One thing you may want to consider? In lieu of the "fluffed" leopard accent pillows on sofa? Cover the smaller bolster pillows behind them, same leopard.Why? Because your seating is so beautifully crisp and architectural.! I wouldn't detract from those lovely shapes. I also notice no lower lamp lighting and it IS possible to add that with no loss of that beautifully edited result. !! Lovely room : )
