Inexpensive Tile?
Looking for terra cottaish tile for the bathroom. Where can I find a good selection of tiles in Brooklyn that is not too expensive - good value for money etc thanks !

Loews has a porcelain tile (imported from Italy) that comes in several sizes(4x4, 6x6, 12x12) and colors. One color is a terra cotta.
I used this in a bathroom and it looks great - the price for the 6x6 is about 88 cents each.

It pays to shop around as we found out. We initially started out with simple subways tiles at one place in lower manhattan around 20-25 per sq. ft. Then we accidentally came across Nemo tile, where they had even nicer clean white subway tiles that were longer for around $14 per sq. ft.
Finally one day while I was in my men's bathroom at work (yes, in reno world, you look everywhere), I noticed we had what looked like the exact same type of tile plus a cool flooring. I found out they used Stone Source, went there, and got essentially the same cool tile for about $6 per square foot!
Plus at the same place we found everything else such as glass tiles, porcelain floor tiles, etc., all incredibly well priced.
I am not stating go to Stone Source (although it may be worth a shot), but it does really pay as we realized to shop around a bunch of places as they often carry similar types of stock at varying price levels.

Oh, if you are interested in going to stone source, here is a link to their location. Not everything was inexpensive, but they had an awesome range of stuff we liked and prices on our choices were just amazingly competitive.
