  1. 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.

  2. Loews has a porcelain tile (imported from Italy) that comes in several sizes(4×4, 6×6, 12×12) and colors. One color is a terra cotta.

    I used this in a bathroom and it looks great – the price for the 6×6 is about 88 cents each.
