Subway Tiles and Mantels [Renovation Blog]
lol…the envy is too rich. renovate yourselves sometime, people, you’ll learn alot. criticizing subway tile is like coming down on someone for choosing a porcelain bathtub.
I did the same tiles in my period brownstone bathroom and they look fantastic. Definately the right choice for your asthetic. Whoever was flaming you is probably jealous.
Also, don’t get too excited about the free box of tiles. If they are not of exactly that same lot number, don’t even bother. My tiler did not check the boxes (they were mixed lots) and you can really see even slight color/tone variations w/white tiles. Fortunately, we caught the mistake early, so not too much harm.
Your best bet is call up the tile store ASAP and try to get an extra box from that lot number. Hurrry, before they sell out of that lot. It can be a real pain in the A to locate.
Stacey,
Just talked to our GC. It turns out we could really use an extra box–are they DAL or American Olean? Just want to make sure they are the right thickness. You can shoot us an email at brownstoner@brownstoner.com.
Thanks so much.
Man there sure are some people with not enough to do today. I mean, really, criticizing someone’s choice of white tile for their bathroom?! Jeez. I only looked at the comments because I couldn’t think WHY there would be 10 comments regarding that picture and I had to see why. Pretty pathetic people!
Brownstoner, sure they’re a bit clichéd, but I don’t see any other ideas coming out of the holier-than-thou crowd. The idea of having them be mere background for the stars of the bathroom is a good one.
imaginatives- what’s in your bathroom?
Brownstoner dont listen to them tiles are cool and it will make great bath specialy if you have very interesting tub and sink
We can’t seem to please anyone today! The antique marble sink and much-discussed porcelain tub are the centerpieces of the bathroom and we wanted a clean, simple backdrop for them. Perhaps there were more imaginative options out there, but we didn’t want, nor could we afford, anything too “exotic”. What plain white tiles would you have gone with?
Since when are the subways clean?
