I did find the 6x6 in the Alabama white marble. I don't know what the shipping price is but the per square foot price is $7.50. Bill, adding the bevels doesn't sound so bad except that for this particular floor I won't be doing it and it sounds like something that could be expensive to pay someone else to do. Neither Walker Zanger nor Ann Sacks carry smaller squares. They have other sizes, very small, larger than one foot square, and some other misc. sizes. Well, cutting them up may be the way to go unless I like the Alabama marble.

Thank you so much to everyone for the advice. That's what I was afraid of...too many elements. It's an older home and I want to keep the "charm" of an older space. I was planning to use honed black granite for the counter tops. It's going to primarily function as a kid's bathroom. I am using the antique brick in a few other areas of the house. I recognize the riskiness here, but was hoping it would come across with a charm that is original to the home. The antique brick blends better with the other elements in the home than the carrara does. I'm still not sure how to bring it all together. I know that the white porcelain is timeless. Will the carrara/black and white bath be outdated, considering it's been such a popular choice the last couple of years? What about the subway tiles?

I have Carrara marble tile in my guest bath and Calacatta marble tile in my master bath. I don't have maintenance issues with my tile. As a precaution I ONLY stock cleaning products that are safe for marble so no one can make a mistake. I have toilet bowl cleaner that is safe for marble and a mirror cleaner that is also safe for marble. Actually I use a cleaner that is safe for marble, stone AND mirrors. Your particular tile is meant to light residential use on floors so it is not standard marble flooring which doesn't carry that specific warning - or at least mine didn't. That said, I would personally install such a tile in my guest bath if it worked aesthetically in the space because my guest bath gets very little use.

@Dragonfly - Thanks. My counters are only cleaned with product once a week but if I actually spill something on the counter, I wipe off with a damp washcloth. I do clean up any drips around the sink which occur when I wash my face but actually I do that more for the faucets than the sink as I have hard water and didn't want residue accumulating on the faucets over time. I do use a steam cleaner on the bathroom floor periodically. I have read mixed advice about this but so far it seems to be fine. I don't do anything with the shower floor in terms of cleaning but I hose it down for any suds before exiting. On the advice of people on this forum, I do use liquid shower gel which is what I would be using anyway as I used it when I had the hideous fiberglass shower/tub insert :-). Marble and natural stone can be restored by a professional. I live in a condo with marble floors in the common area. Periodically, my HOA hires a professional stone restoration company which cleans and polishes the floors and also cleans the grout. The floors then look as good as when they were installed twenty years ago.
