The Joys of Bathroom Renovations - The Tile

With only two days to pick tile, we had our job cut out for us. Have you looked at tile lately? Tons of selection, a variety of prices, etc etc. There is stone tile, porcelain tile, ceramic tile and probably some others....

We went to Lowes and then The Home Depot. We ended up finding our tile at the Home Depot. It only took us about an hour and a half to pick the tile and the grout. We love the people at the Home Depot in South Portland. We walk in and have people asking us if we need help. We must look pretty bad and in need of help, or they are just doing their job. One of their people helped us put the door of our cabinets and countertop that we have on order, up against the different tiles we thought might look good. The saying about going with your first pick worked in this case. We compared about four different tiles, and went with the first one we both liked. We went with a 12 inch porcelain tile. We think it will look really good with the black countertop and the red vessel sinks. Who knew it could take so long to figure out what kind of tile to get. The tiling guy (Scott), came by on Saturday and installed the tile. He did an incredible job. We are very pleased. Those who have seen it so far have said they think it will look great with the colors we plan on having in there. Here are some of the pics of the floor. 

Its getting closer to being done........
