Bathroom remodel frustrations!!
Comments (19)Okay sorry for all of the posts. I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase. ;) I wanted to add a couple of more sites with just colored hex tile in case you wanted to go that direction. Luxetile.com has some great porcelain hex mosaics. They dong have a ton of colors but do some some nice ones I haven't seen elsewhere. Mosaictilesupplies.com has some pretty colors and an elongated hex tile in a Ferrous Gray but its a little pricey. Hextile.com has the Melange series with different colors. Look at the Pebble and the Pepper. Bwtile.com also has a hex, and they say they have over 47 colors mostly historic in their collection but do not have them.posted. So you would probably have to ask for a color sheet and if the hex comes in all colors. Good luck on your tile search, and if you have any questions I would be happy to help. Also the sites in this post I found by Googling "colored hex tile." These were the results from the first page.

Comments (29)Zaz and Beth, I finally have some samples on my floor to look at (from the Tile Shop) and that's helpful, but it's a pain in the b*** to figure out what samples to order and from whom to order them - and expensive too! I could probably order an equal number of interesting samples from Merola/Home Depot, not to mention the additional ideas you've both now given me, but at some point I need to stop. Even though I feel I've 'narrowed' my focus to something with blue and/or patterned-moroccan-style, there are still so many options and resources to look at. I do like all the additional examples you gave me, Beth. Is EliteTile considered a good quality resource? I have felt comfortable having a retail face to consult with (Tile Shop and Home Depot) but if you and Zaz and others with more experience feel it can be ok to order from a place like Wayfair and this brand of tile, then I feel more confident about that. Both Tile Shop and HD have nice options too, but I've been a bit frustrated that I haven't been able to see an actual sample of a large-size cobalt option .... and the nice on sale lantern blue one is beautiful. What a price, too!! Weirdly, as I look more closely at the Wayfair/EliteTile Moroccan tiles, I'm seeing several that are the exact same patterns that Merola/HomeDepot offer. Do either of you know anything about this? I'd kind of like to add pictures of the samples I have from Tile Shop to see what you both think, but it might need to wait until tomorrow since this day is over and I'm beat. (Also, have other things in addition to tile shopping which I'm sure you both can relate to.) I am grateful to have both of you to converse with on this. Feel more comfortable....See MoreHead swimming with tile choices! I am my own worst enemy!!
Comments (18)Ok so you mean using the same tile on walls as the shower walls? I had wanted to to 12x24 in shower for fewer grout lines but I agree they are too large for the small room walls but thought I could use them in the shower, and smaller version of them on the walls. Perhaps I go with a simple flat subway for this room... seems so middle of the road lol. Not what I wanted to do but might feel cleaner. For flooring I am leaning toward a plain hex or the octagonal shown. I’d love a feature/statement tile behind the toilet. In real life the cabinet is grey with a tinge of green. It doesn’t show any wood tone or grain at all- the gray color in the encaustic type tile is almost identical to the cabinet actually. Thanks all!! Very helpful!!...See MoreOptions on replacing white penny round shower tile
Comments (5)Update: The store swapped out the penny to polished hex in the same brand eating the additional cost. The installer removed the penny mosaic and prepared the flooring for the new mosaic. From what I see, there is no damage and was the project was completed in 1 day (they used quick set thinset). I cannot complain as the final result is beautiful. Thank you Skippack for the advice. I will show a photo after cleaning the dust off the tile....See MoreRelated Professionals
