The good news is that I have finalized tile choices for the bathrooms. I didn't let the Artistic Tile lady strong-arm me into choosing beveled subway tile for the kids' bathroom. I stood my ground and asked for handmade flat tile, which looks like true subway tile. This cut her to the very core of her Artistic Tile being, but she wrote up the order anyway. I also wondered aloud if the vanity I ordered with carrera marble countertops would match with the carrera subway tile she suggested for the master bath. Her response? "Carrera is carrera is carrera." Which is now my mantra for the week.
I'm also planning to order this ceramic beadboard tile for the powder room. It's from Hastings Tile and they make it in 8x32 panels -- not all chopped up like the beadboard tile that WaterWorks sells (and a heck of a lot cheaper). I'm kinda in love with it.The only question that remains is...how fast can the tile get here? My contractor is on vacation all week and sorta forgot to let me know that last week. So now I've gotta wait until he gets back to get square footage for the order...and keep my fingers crossed that this will all work out.

I love the beadboard tile! I'd love to see a photo of it installed. Wish I could get it in D.C.
I have been shopping for that beadbord tile myself...I went to the hastings showroom in nyc and got the impression it was very pricy...they told me that the would work out a price with my designer, (I haven't gotten up the nerve to call yet) Can u give me a ball park amount so I can hide the sticker shock if it comes????
i just ordered the beadboard its about $40 sf
