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.

I was hoping to find something a little more "special." Since the big orange box sells that it's pretty played around here. Can I put plain unglazed on a floor with crackle glazed on a wall? I def. want a period look, but it doesn't have to be 100% authentic. The floor itself (in the master) is only about 3x9, not including the shower and separate water closet. (5 feet will be the tub on one side and the sinks on the other, so will have some type of mat.)

I don't see a slope on that ceiling. And every shower curtain I've ever seen has been mounted on a rod that is connected to the wall at either end. So if they had 3 hooks in a sloped ceiling, then that might be the reason for the water damage. But yes, if you're doing a hex pattern on the floor, I think that's probably what I would put in as as the backsplash. And the reason for the pencil liner is to finish off the edge of the tile. Most tile nowadays doesn't have a finished edge or matching bullnose. So you need some kind of trim piece to hide that where it doesn't meet a wall.

I like those last 4 x 4s on the floor, Beth. But they are not the pure white glazed tiles, they have some variation in color and shading. And they are not paired with identical wall tiles. I don't think that using the same 4 x 4s on both will work well. It will look like the homeowner found a sale and either bought too many or could not find the funds or the imagination to do a different floor. Organic Cook, how about using a large format hex tile on the floor, like the ones in the green and black bath and the white baths just above? It has a nod toward the vintage, by going hex on the floor, with a foot in the modern by not doing mosaic tile. They come in 8 inch size (maybe larger), so will decrease the number of grout lines in comparison with the vintage mosaics. You could look at a nice tile with some variegation, like the 4 x 4 floor above has. You could look for a color that is related to whatever the floor color is in the hall, so that the floor color flows between the rooms. If the hall has a wood floor, look for a tile that has about the same amount of color as the two tiles in the last bathroom in Beth's post above mine. Not a wood-look tile, but a glazed or color-body tile that has tones that tie into the hall flooring. Another idea would be to go back to your original choice of gray and white. Here are two 10" hex tiles from Tile Bar that would look good with white wall tiles.This one is a cement-look porcelain at $6. I love the variegation in color. Link This one looks like it may be beige, which would go with some wood floors. This one is at Home Depot and is more expensive. $15.95/sq ft. If you go to this link, there is a video that shows it grouted with both white and dark charcoal or black. Wayfair has this Carrara-look hex on sale. They show it with dark grout, too. $7.51 sq ft. I can't get an image saved to my computer, so I can't post it.
