White Marble is SO Back!

Look, I have to tell you, I’m not really on the very cutting edge. I’m usually a little “slow on the uptake” as my good old Dad always encouraged me as a child.

Hi Tim,
I have a tile question for you if you have time? I’m thinking of using a recycled glass tile company out of Seattle that has these circles of glass to tile my bathroom floor with.

I wrote a quick post this weekend about towel warmers, which I would say are a “luxury” component of a bathroom. And… I’ve had pretty bathrooms on my brain ever since. So I dug-up some pictures (or am I supposed to call them “images” now?).
