LOVE the fireplace picture! And do like the 1x2 much better than the square mosaic. Found two more ideas at the same site, you''ve probs seen them but ...
#1- Mixed Beige, medium brick, venetian glass mosiac
Hmmm...I think I am liking the look of the mosaic too...like Gypsy said, its a little warmer and more inviting than the subway tile. Its also super stylish, and a little more visually interesting, at least to my eye....
eta: I also like the subway tile....its just a cleaner, more traditional style. The mosaic is more modern....just depends on what kind of look you are trying to achieve.
I love the mini subway style. MMM head over to the tile shop off 77. Awesome selection, examples and prices. Ask about a contractors discount. They give it to DH and his mom got it in OH. I can''t remember if it is 10% or 20% off. I''ll ask DH when he gets home.
Hi guys....thanks so much for the input. I went and saw the Sumi-e mosaics and bricks in person and they are AMAZING. The colors didn''t work though...and not to mention that 15 minutes later I found out hubby and 15 other project managers were down sized. Ugh. So let''s just say I''m sticking with the cheaper tile I already picked Wish us luck. The whole reason we moved to NC from NYC was for a better life and the fact that he could keep his NY salary. Now neither of us are working. Thank god for savings and family.
