Name this Tile Please

I need to buy more of this tile or something similar to replace some broken pieces in my apartment. Can anyone give me a clue on where to find? Thanks so much!

Tile is fashion. You might as well be looking for a import knockoff sweater modeled from the 1998 Ralph Lauren collection at your local thrift store.

I name it... Pete.

Sorry, had to say that from your title question! But Sophie is right, and unless you have ANY idea about the tile (which is gorgeous, by the way, is that ceramic? It really looks like wood!) like the manufacturer name you are pretty much out of luck.

One option is thisoldtile.com, a service that will try to find out what it is and try to find a source for you for a $15 fee. I recently was trying to find tiles matching our kitchen to replace the carpet in the hallway and heavy traffic areas, we built the house 14 years ago and I had every receipt and detail of my tile and found out it was discontinued 2 years ago.

I was certain there MUST be SOME leftovers somewhere in the country because it was made for at least 12 years and it was American Olean (a popular brand) but we had no luck.

Good luck, I hope that website can help!

Nice acquisition, Dana, and a good save! I'm sure those poor bulbs would have ended up in a landfill somewhere if you hadn't saved them, and at such a nice price, too! Way to make a deal! With good culture, I'm sure you'll see the spent ones bloom next year, and the ones that haven't bloomed will probably bloom now! In this case, a mislabel wouldn't hurt at all, and is desirable! You never know what's hiding in the mass amounts of bulb kits these large stores get in... I expected one of mine to be a White Dazzler, but it's a Minerva... which suits me just fine! I think with good care you'll have quite a beautiful potted garden!

If the chair rail is glazed on both the top and bottom edges, it shouldn't be a problem. Line them up next to each other, just as they would go on the wall, and you'll be able to tell how it looks. Sorry, I don't understand the problem with your second question. I can't see how the chair rail affects the crown molding. Perhaps a sketch would help.

Thanks, EVERYone. I have just this second realized I left off the K in "Stuck." Or maybe gardenweb left it off. Anyway, Whiteriver I emailed you. Hope Princess is feeling better. :( Sandesurf, the 4th one down is "Marble Beige" and it's a perfect match. Good eye! :) With the variations in the tile, I don't think the BS would disappear, even with a light grout. You would still see the subtle shadings, the dark and light. And I will have things sitting on the counter. Not sure what yet. I do love my green measuring cups and tree (Christmas gift from a boss's family) from Anthropology. And the apple teapot is from my mom. By "dark," I have never meant near-black. I just wanted the BS to "pop" a little since my cabinets are so light, but without looking busy or ditracting from the granite. I realized I had never posted pics of the other side of the kitchen, where the stove is (which needs to be returned to its upright and locked position), so to induce your nap, here you go! I'm off to my Greek boyfriend's house for dinner......Opa!!! Have a great Saturday night everybody! It's funny how lighting changes things. All these were made with my cell phone but this one looks totally different. And the under cabinet lights totally wash out my granite in pics.

This probably won't help the OP, but for CSG, I've had luck a few times looking for recently discontinued home items on Ebay and Craigslist.

From what I can tell, some installers buy extra Just In Case. When the job is finished, if the amount is significant, they'll sell it rather than just junking it, but not necessarily right away.

Is it possible to remove some from another place? Closet, under the sink?
