Well, I had some time on my hands so I spent some time looking at hundreds of tiles. Everything I saw either had more marbling or straiter striations in the tile. Are these 1' x 2', or do you care? And the color? You want that exact color. I found a couple on Wayfare, but they weren't quite close enough.

Wow, Thank you- Jo!! I was doing a white/grey kitchen and have ditched that plan because everything looked cold to me. This is the first photo I've seen with porcelain floor tiles that I would like. I am planning white kitchen cabinets with darker (Don't know color yet, but probably darker wood) island. These floors look brown/cream/greyish and look pretty to me in all the different angles of photos. I prefer the bigger tile 18" x 36", but would look at others if it looked nice. I want to use this countertop which is White Macaubus

This is the setup of my kitchen - Just a drawing by the kitchen guy.

Thanks again!!!! xoxo

You might want to make a decision on the color of the island, especially if it will be wood. That way the colors won't clash.

isn't there any info listed under the photos? you said they were from Houzz? if you read through the comments on each picture, i'm sure someone has asked. maybe it's answered? almost looks like the same material they have on the countertop. like a type of quartz.

Once I find this tile, I'll pick the shade of wood that looks best with it. There is no info about this tile from the designer, other than it is porcelain.

I looked at the link you left. You're right, there doesn't appear to be anything on the tile floor or the table you mentioned. The table is hard to see, but it looks like it has very straight lines and curved legs underneath. I also saw that you left a question for them, but they must not have gotten back to you. Too bad, that would have solved your problem!

The quartzite you picked out is going to be beautiful with the white cabinets. I also love the idea of the wood island, it will definitely warm the space up. I'll check back tomorrow to see what been added here.

I love that quartzite too. have you seen it in the blue? It's stunning.

anyway, there are plenty of flooring and decor options that work nicely w/that stone. To keep everything from looking too cold, try and bring in some warmer options w/wood. since your island will do, perhaps try something in this tone:

since this stone is so gorgeous, consider doing a waterfall on the island if possible

I love that quartzite waterfall. My island is probably too long to get it to continue like that. It's the porcelain floor that I don't want in grey since that's what looks cold to me. I need to find that floor from the photos. I'll take the pics with me to the tile store and see what I can find.........I hope to find an answer from the decorator on the Houzz page.....

Thanks, Jo, for your help. I hope I find it. I've been looking for the table too with no luck....

OMG, I just looked at the blue quarzite (that Beth mentioned) on goolge images. I've always wanted blue prodomanently in my kitchen and this would be it. My favorite is Blue Louise with the rust color running through it, I'm in love! We are going to be buying a fixer upper in the next couple of years and if we had the money, this is what I would put in. Thanks Beth for making me dream again!

haha. I know. I've always wanted that blue one. many years ago I got a large remnant piece of Blue Bahia. it's just gorgeous. I got it for free because it had a crack in the middle. Couldn't really use it anywhere so I broke it into large chunks and set it in mortar on my patio slab, combined w/silver flagstone. It's so pretty! Very slippery when wet, hence the flagstone and pebble combo.

Jo,,they actually have the blue macaubas subway tiles! you could get those. they're only about $75 a sq ft!

mjammjam, please let us know what happens when you talk to the people at your tile store. Don't let them talk you into something you're not happy with.

Beth, great idea for the patio! And a big HA to the tile price, don't think I'll be using that one.

I found two more today, but I'm not sure anymore --- I need a designer/decorator. I'm afraid I'll spend over $50K on this kitchen and it'll look horrible. Any opinions on these two????

HELP

Weeellllll, I'm wondering if, even though the grey would go well with your countertop, would you think it looks too cold? You had mentioned that earlier. Something to think about anyway. They both look nice. The tile that looks more tan would be warmer. Would you do a light wood on the island? So many choices.....

Let's see what Beth has to say, she's the Pro.

you don't need to zoom in! it's not like these tiles will be viewed 2 inches from your face! remember, they're on the floor!

see what you think of these

the top one is like a black or gray slate. you can find it in porcelain. this one below is 8x36, concreto from tilebar

and this one. 12x24 Marbella Perla, tilebar

12x24 dark instinct, tilebar

I would grab some samples from tilebar and see how they look w/the stone. 5 for $5

they have so many others, I could list 20 pics. go to the tilebar front page and search "gray". look at the Seville, The Linden, The Marbella and Instinct,,just for grins.

Thanks so much, girls! Do you think the lighter tile is too light for white cabinets? I also like the tones on Copse Beige, but it looks like distressed wood. I have an open floor plan and the den (which will have wood floors) will be totally open to kitchen. I am going to look now for that slate color in porcelain. This is where I started (Dark grey) when I was wondering if it looked dark or cold. Let me rethink it..... I'm going crazy!!! hahaha

yes, I took out the Copse after I got a closer look at it. I replaced it w/the Lynchfield. that one looks like an actual gray slate tile.

can you post a pic of the entire area?

they have so many other grays on that site, that you need to go through them all to see what tone you like.

The area isn't created yet but here's a pic of the kitchen

I found this photo of the view of the den from the island area. We picked up these very dark floors. The house seems very dark with the dark floors and dark island.

ok. I see now. Yes, the dark floors against the dark island,,,no good. Although, it looks like you get a decent amount of light coming in.

you prob want something that isn't striped or has a lot of pattern, since it's such a large expanse.

so this is the litchfield

this is Salerno from Builders Direct

and I would do a large format. you don't want anything with large grout lines (nothing over 1/16" if you can help it.)

even though this has a little pattern, it's nice. reminds me of silver travertine

The tile you posted looks a lot like some of the Marvel stone collection from Atlas Concordia which is an Italian porcelain tile company, one of the biggest in Europe. US companies have it or can get it. Their tiles are through and through. Check a US company that sells it and their website gallery may have images.

Thank you so much! I like the colors of Litchfield and think they would match the best. I don't love the pieces that look chipped though. I'm going to check if it comes smooth and maybe a little polished. . I like a little glam. Im not the rustic type. I can't thank you enough!!!

I have so many more questions now that you put these new pics up but I'll only ask three.

1. When you get to the glass sliding doors/eat-in area, you turn left to the go to the den? (which is where the t.v. is)

2. In the photo with the dark floors. Are you moving the island further down the room, as well as the cabinetry? (looks like it in the rendering)

3. Are you bumping out the wall to the left of the old island? (looks like it in the rendering)

That space in the pic looks bigger than the new kitchen mock up, though I know pictures can be deceptive. The dark floors actually good, but not to your liking, and that's what's important. You want something to lighten up the room more. We can work with that.

PS. Answering said questions will not make a difference in any the questions that YOU need answered! Just curious is all. Call me Miss Nosey.... no, don't do that.

yes,,i like that one too.

I was looking at some of the polished porcelain and they really look good!

I really like this one but I can't find out who makes it. Maybe Cliffside?

This one is on Alibaba. You can find some great deals on here. I actually found my marble supplier from here and imported a crate of them.

There are hundreds of vendors but you can't beat the prices.

this one too is polished

oh wait,,,i thought this tile was going all the way across the room. so you're doing wood on the other side? what kind of wood? Are you sure you don't want to bring the wood into the kitchen?

I think a wide plank, french oak in a warm/gray tone, would look fantastic across the entire room.

s that Alibaba from China??? Yes. I'm doing wood floors in den, and adjoining living room (see the doorway to left of TV) Also putting wood floor in dining room which you can't see from here but it's behind refrigerator wall. Also putting it in entry We are doing porcelain in kitchen just from horror stories from everyone else about the scratches. Honestly - I had wood floors in my last house and my husband constantly pointed out all the dings and dents. My friend has wood floors and they're destroyed under the bar stools even with those felt protectors. Plus my backyard door Is in the eat-in area where heavy traffic (dog) would be. I'm sure it'll be more practical even though I like wood better. Ohhhh and the wood Is quarter sawn white oak. Don't know what color stain yet. Depends on shade of kitchen tile. Also-- radiant heat under floors

Oh nice! so tile in the kitchen. yes, that's alibaba in china. I've ordered many things from them and have been happy with everything I've gotten. Even my solid brass drain cover for my shower. $15! They want $180 for those things locally!

what about quartz tiles for the kitchen? they come in 24x24 and give you that glam you want.

Just wondering what you think of this one since you were considering something with browns in it. It comes from the Marvel (stone) collection that suzyq53 mentioned. Comes from Italy but, I don't see any prices. Might be expensive but I wanted to get your opinion of the texture and cream color.

This looks a little too pink in these pic's I just found for this tile in a hotel lobby.

It's more the texture and look that I'm wondering if you like.
