The tile is really looking good. Today we were pleasantly surprised to find the tile complete in the master bathrom and the utility room floor. The pictures illustrate the tile withut grout and baseboard molding. I will add photos of the rooms completed with grout and baseboards as soon as they are finished. Check out the pictures

Today the tile started in the guest bathroom! It is looking really good. Unfortunately, the tile is coming out a bit yellow due to the contractor’s light in the bathroom. The tile is more of a grayish marble color. We will post more pictures of the tile in natural light once the contractor is finished.

Today we purchased our tile for the bathroom as well as the utility room floor. We purchased 18″ x 18″ Italian porcelain tile. We got a great deal on the tile, as it only cost $1.49 / SQ-FT. It was on clearance! It is really beautiful in person, and even resembles marble.
