We wanted more tile than we got, but we love the tile that we put in. The kitchen has a tile backsplash made of a tile that is several different coordinating colors. The master bath is all tile floor, plus a tile tub deck and backsplash and a custom tile shower. The kids bath and guest bath got tile tub surrounds in basic, 6x6 white. The installers did a great job and this all looks terrific. Ceramic tile is one of the most cost-effective floor covering options when you consider the life of the house. Properly installed, not many other flooring choices are as durable.

So here's some tile pictures. Mouse over them to see the description.

Overall, we're pretty happy with how the tile came out. We briefly considered DIY, but there's no way I could have done as nice a job as these installers did. A lot of money went into this, but the interest that the different textures added to the various rooms was well worth it.

Really nice job, great color scheme. You're right about getting a good tile man to do do all that work. I did my upstairs bathroom last fall, and a competent tile man can do it a lot faster and more consistantly.
