kgwlisa, that's exactly what I was worried about - all those cut edges. If Bill V were my tile guy, I wouldn't hesitate, but... Anyway, I think we could afford to use that tile as a field tile, but that's a LOT of green - not sure I want to use that much of such a vibrant color. As for the idea of going modern in the bath, I've thought about it, but the rest of the apartment is definitely pre-war looking and I have no plans to renovate it anytime soon, if ever. There's something I love about period-feeling baths anyway, so I think we're going to stick with that (even if BF doesn't like the English-telephone-looking tub filler/handheld, LOL!). BTW, does anyone know anything about Elements of Design fixtures? They have a ton of really beautiful period fixtures but I'm concerned about buying crap... Here's a snapshot of some tile that I taped to the bathroom wall to try to get an idea of what my original wood-look floor/white subways/glass accent might look like: I know it's a terrible picture, and unfortunately the colors aren't really true, but I really like the blue-green tiles on the right with the faux wood and white (they're much bluer in real life). They look great with chrome fixtures, too. I think I'm going to go ahead with this color combo - I just need to decide whether to use the glass tiles in mini-subway size or 1x1s. I'm also going to browse a bit more this weekend to see if I can find something similar in a ceramic tile. Wish me luck!

We saw it used on one of the HGTV shows a few weeks ago--don't remember which one. The price they quoted was WAAAAAAY more expensive than most tile (exception being the hand made/specialty tile). DH & I looked at each other and said the same thing--why not just go with regular tile and save a bundle? With that being said, I could see someone using the peel & stick and feeling that the price was affordable as it would be something they could definitely do themselves where if they were to use real tile they would sub the job out--likely a wash in price at that point.

Kind of late in getting back to everyone... Jerzeygirl - thanks for the photo of your shower. Did you use white grout? I think the metal look tile would be too modern for my project. I love your marble sill. Was that a remnant? I'm looking to use something like that in my shower cubby. The Quartzite I picked out for my counter/curb is 1 1/4" which seems too thick for this purpose. Sloyder - I like your idea of a glass tile liner. Will also check out a matching marble liner option. I'm going to try and attach a picture of my accent tile. Linelle - Thanks for the pic! You are right on. The RS is very reasonable! Their rope tile is pretty but sticks out kind of far for my narrow bathroom. Your tile guy did a great job. Do you know what color/brand of grout was used? As for the quarter round, I had that one picked out and my contractor said it would look unfinished because it would be at eye level looking down at the side of it. My field tile would not stick out as far as yours. Cabot & Rowe - I will definitely check Daltile's website for other options. Joseph - your bathroom is amazing! Are those Graff faucets? I'm considering Graff Topaz wall mount for my bathroom. Also, how deep is your vanity? I'm struggling to figure out what size spout on the wall mount faucet is needed for my 11" deep Under-mount sink on an 18" deep vanity. Why is this so complicated?? This is my accent tile - Snow Stria with Glass from the Tile Shop. Border of 4 or 5 rows.

I just wanted to let anyone know that i went with ivory glass subway tiles and grouted a little lighter than i had originally planned. The grout matches the cupboards so it darkens the tiles. I’m adding the pics. Thanks
