| Montauk black slate |
This one, too black
 |
| Absolute black 4x4 granite |
And this was is just too darn pretty
 |
| Patterened terra cotta |
Actually the first one is OK, but it only comes in 12x12 and I want 6x6. It will probably also be too stony in real, similar to the 2x2 sample I received last week - too gray, too rocky. The 2nd one. Nice. But maybe too black. The third one, patterned terra cotta. Terra cotta was my original want, but then I switched. And then I found this. Kind of beautiful. I wonder if it will be neutral enough. I wonder if it will look ok with stainless steel? White cabinets? Black granite counter?
Too bad the old floor wasnt wide plank pine.
Sara: If you don't mind just a little bit more work, you can just cut the 12x12 tiles down to 6x6. They won't end up at exactly 6x6 (probably 5 7/8 square) but this is definitely do-able. Slate cuts pretty easily with a wet-saw, but be warned that it gets very messy. But like I said, if you can't find it, you can definitely do it. I know of another old house owner who wanted 6x12 slate tiles and he just cut them in half since none were available anywhere.
ReplyDeleteD'oh! Good idea, seriously!
