7 years agoWe've had ours in for about a week now, and it's amazing!! Honestly, we are so happy with it. It was our first DIY tile project, we only have our mudroom done so far (it was our test room to see if we could do it, lol) but I'd be happy to share some pics with you. Ours is a dark hand scrapped, but they ashy gray color they have out is gorgeous too! Our walls are greige (BM London Fog) in our main living area, in our mudroom they are deep navy. Here are our pics, the tiles are 8x48 which I would say is essential for a larger scale area. HTH! We still have our baseboards and woodwork to do.

Show me your hex-tile floors and tell me your grout color please!
Comments (8)Hi Bill, I have seen mention of this Mapei on other threads and did a google search and came up with a lot of foreign-language links. Who makes it? Or better yet, can you give me a link to a website? (Also, I sent you an email - did you get it? I noticed another tile installation disaster today. Our Master Bath floor has been covered for protection until today when part of it was exposed while the double vanity was installed. The large 16" square honed Calcutta Gold tiles are not centered on any of the walls, so there are really off grout lines at the center of the vanity. It is really obvious and when I think about it I literally want to cry :( . This is our forever house and everywhere I turn, a tile job is done badly. I could really use a good referal!)...See MorePlease show me your travertine look porcelain tile!
Comments (33)Woven wooden shades would add a really nice texture to your room. You're right, I have a pair of double hung windows behind my tub. I've just ordered cordless cellular shades that will be 2 on 1 headrail and have the top down/bottom up feature for privacy and a view of the trees outside. I literally have to climb in my tub to adjust the windows or shades so they probably won't be moved very often. I'm planning to accent with purple so I'm hoping to find fabric for a valance to tie it all together and bring a softer texture into the room. You must be so anxious to be in your new home. I've never built a house before but I'm sure it would be both exciting and overwhelming....See MoreShow me pics of Crossville Palais or marble looking porcelain
Comments (3)avignon-- If you're looking into rectified porcelain (In Crossville, that would be their Empire Series), you want a tight grout joint-- standard is 1/16". As for the others, I'll tell you right now-- Porcelanosa will be more expensive. ALOT more expensive. They're one of the top shelf manufacturers in the world. As for Laufen, that you might find for a good price. Here's a shower I did with their travertine lookalike rectified tile: One other thing to think about. I don't know just how close you want to be, but the tile in the next picture is a very run of the mill stock tile from Daltile. It's not even porcelain-- just a standard glazed ceramic tile, which means you'd need to use a larger grout joint (I usually use a 3/16" joint with this tile)but for glazed tile, it's one of the best travertine lookalikes I've seen yet. In fact, I liked it SO much, that I used the 18x18 version in my own bath in the apartment I just moved out of (otherwise, I'd show you pics!): That's Daltile's Salerno Series SL83...See MoreDelima- luxury vinyl wood or porcelain wood look tile?
Comments (15)I was so set on getting wood look tile until my friends told me to check on Luxury Vinyl, and after doing some reading here on GW, I am almost convinced to switch to LVP/LVT. BUT then I see @Season Contreras's beautiful tiles, I am not so sure again! I like the durability of the tiles and that we can drag furniture on it with no problem of scratching it or damaging it, but then I like the LVP for being warm and not so hard on foot. We are doing about 1000 sqft for kitchen plus family room and entry way, (the rest of the house is carpet for bedrooms and a loft). We have two boys and a dog, a pool right outside the family room, got a big yard with lots of dirt, boys will probably bring some of that in all the time.... Houses in my neighborhood worth about a little over a mil (not ours because we bought it a fixer), they mostly are retired so no little kids running around so they mostly use hardwood or engineered wood. We are in our 40s and plan to retire in this house and not selling anytime soon. What should I use, Wood look tiles or Luxury Vinyl? Thank you for your help!...See More

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoHome depot dapple gray on floor (the plank is their rustic bay or something - the one darker than the dapple gray). Winter gray vanity. Sutton place Glidden on wall. Natural light (these colors only go with bright natural light).
The Sutton place gray is awesome. The dapple gray is very nice.
My word of advice ... Pick ALL your items before committing to the gray and get A LOT of tile to lay out with your pieces. While it has both brown and gray in it, the subtle shades will have a definite color cast en masse, in your space with your light you won't be able to predict. I had to paint the mirror myself to find a color that pulled it all together after the purchases and returns with chrome, black and brushed nickel all looking terrible.
Making everything go was unbelievably difficult and finicky and shifted whenever I had a lot of the tile instead of just one piece.
I also didn't consider the floor it would be next to and I'm not super excited how the tile looks next to the oak (the color transition isn't my favorite thing.)
It all works perfectly now but I had NO idea how much you have to have it all figured out before you buy even one thing, how big the samples need to be and how critical seeing the items in your space is.
The grain repeat is pretty natural though and I feel like Marazzi does a better job with the porcelain photo 'wood' or 'stone' tile than most manufacturers.

7 years agoI'm using this in another bathroom. It also is a very good photo print, realistic. Haven't installed it so I don't know if the repeat is good. Stone peak has other colors.

The stone peak crate colonial white is a great tile. The repeat is minimal and the photo print is very good!

7 years agoDo you mean the staircase? Staircase is carpet and upstairs is carpet.
Here's another photo that shows the true color of the tile. It shows our landing which was finished off with a schluter since this brand doesn't make bullnose tiles. I love the way it looks.
