GreenDesign I think inadvertently you have sent me into the over budget high maintenance direction. I looked up shadow grey to see what color it was and this lovely Shadow Grey marble popped up. Unlikely I would find it in a remnant though :( Thank you for the advice about a dark shower floor, I had no idea they are high maintenance. There is no way I can get DH to squeegee the floor he will veto any tile if that's the case and that man loves his bar soap. We did fine tile that we both liked for the shower floor and I threw in the Shadow Grey counter as wishful thinking. Any idea's for a similar look granite? writersblock not sure why you aren't seeing the pic, it's still showing up when I look at it.

Hi beverly27, thanks, oh I like the accenting tile on the bench and the floor, we just demo'd the shower door and realize we have two lights in the bathroom and a window which makes it very light, so now we are thinking of a darker tile as a choice, but not sure if we should put the same tile on floor as the shower. we plan on an expresso black vanity with a white sink, the bathroom is so small that the vanity can only be 24 inches in width. will post photos in a new thread as well.

I really like the look of this tile - large (less grout!), light gray color... I was planning to use this on the bathroom floor, shower wall and tub surround. Any suggestions for an accent tile? I like the minimalist, modern look so nothing too fussy. I was planning on it being all the same tile but my friend who just did a bathroom remodel thinks it will look too sterile with just one tile. http://www.homedepot.com/p/MS-International-Metro-Charcoal-12-in-x-24-in-Glazed-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-16-sq-ft-case-NMETCHA1224/203673203?N=5yc1vZb97mZ1z118bp

Match the tile as closely as possible, erring toward the darker rather than lighter colors. Wood isn't applied with grout, so you don't want it to look fake by accenting the joints. You want the joints to disappear as much as possible to make it look as real as possible..
