What's the advantage of cementing as flooring and how to ensure its no
Comments (3)I have stained concrete floors and not only do I love them... but 95% of everyone that walks in the door goes goo goo over them... Well, there was that one guest that waited a half hour before asking "So, when you do you think you'll be able to afford carpet?" .... So, this isn't a great pic, but you can see that we mixed black in and that there's a greenish border... Looking back, I would have done a different color had I given it more thought because it's a lot of work to change stained concrete... but painted concrete can be painted over and over... By the way...The lower level of my house is 1500 sq ft and I vacuum those concrete floors, all of them, in less than 15 minutes... I was 2 x's a year and including stripping the old wax, it only takes me about three hours! This shine when it's done is SO worth the 3 hours ......See MorePls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this
Comments (13)Hi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible. If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear. Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom....See MoreMatte Tiles for living room :60cm x 60cm or 90cm x 45cm

Comments (2)I'm in Toronto too. When we needed smaller tiles, we ended up buying mosiac tiles which are small tiles glued to a mesh backing. We just cut the mesh and used them individually. What is on the website is a small fraction of what a big tile store has. I think you need to call or go in....See More
PROCarrara Marble Tiles
7 years agoHi Jessica!
Floor tiles are Carrara Marble 18x18, hard to tell if it is honed or polished. Should be honed though, as polished tiles are not recommended on the floor since they might be slippery. Anyway, we have this product available in honed and polished as well.
Carrara square tiles can be a very nice decision for the floor. Simple enough, but beautiful and elegant.
We offer a rich selection of square format tiles in our Carrara collection, You can check it out right here.
Wall tiles are Carrara 3x6. As just an alternative to regular Carrara 3x6 I would consider 3x6 with wide bevel on it which gives the space more depth.
Below please see the one with wide bevel.
Don't forget about matching trim pieces which can be combined with all Carrara products.
Thank you!

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoThe Floor Tile is rather Gray and probably selected that way to create some difference between the floor and the wall tile.
It is not too dissimilar from this customers idea, our Carrara Venato 3x6" for $7.00 a Square Foot is whiter than our "C" grade premium Bianco. You could go darker and buy a "CD" Grade for the floor or a Bardiglio.
The opted for the Bianco Hexagon with a Bardiglio Border Honed but also available in polished for $12.95 a Square Foot. The Hexagon has more grout and creates more traction.
Here is another increasingly popular option the 4x12" Carrara Venato. Available from the Carrara Venato Collection which has a plethora of field tiles to choose from.
A Venato Carrara wall of 3x6" Honed Subway Tile $7.00/SF and Hexagon $12.95/SF with Bardiglio Edge and Bardiglio 1x12" Border.
