Follow-up on Repro Pale Tile
I am re-posting so as to add a picture…..thank you to all who responded and I wanted to say a special thanks to Kelly who suggested Lowe’s….I went this morning and found 1/ x 6″ ceramic (I think) that looks like porcelain) or actually porcelain) tile that is uncannily close to the original.

For $1.28 each. I would have much rather been able to order a custom tile to replicate the old, but I did use new 3 x 6 white subway tiles, no crazing of course, so these will work just fine. At 1/6 the cost. As I am operating the the red now, it’s a big help. Thanks again
Lowes and Home Depot to the rescue!
I have to say that as much as ‘we’ disparage DIY places within the profession, I’ve been really surprised and pleased with the amount of nice stock they carry. We looked forever for the Subway Ceramics company and probably could have found something comparable at a big box. However being from the mid-west I know for certain that our stores locally within the city are carrying more ‘sophisticated’ type products than they do elsewhere. Which I think says a lot about how these big box retailers are trying to be relevant here.
Glad you found such a close match!
