Tile Update

When I went down to Salt Lake, I happened to mention the fact that I needed to do something with my bathroom to my Uncle, GV.  He lays floors (tile, lamanent, wood, vinyl, etc...) so I thought he might have some tips for me before I dived in.  He asked if I had tile and I told him we were still looking.  Then He jumped up and said 'well come out here and look I have tons of left over tile.' Wonderful!! I know!! Free tile?!!?  I was so happy because we were a little worried about expenses and this could cut them in half.  So I jumped up and went out to his garage. And boy did he have tile.  The biggest problem wasn't that he didn't have very much but that he didn't have very much of a set kind.  I found tons of beautiful slate, granite and marble but there were only about 10 tiles each of them.  I finally settled on this 

It is lighter than in the picture.  It is off white and is almost the same color of our walls.  The smaller tile is granite (light tans, brown, and white) and we are going to cut that in half length ways to use it for an accent border.  We will probably put it in between the two rows or on top against the ceiling.  And he had 4 boxes left over of the big tile so we have enough to do the whole thing.  I am excited.  We will have to do some cutting on the tiles and I hope we can do it without breaking many.  We can probably afford to break some of the big tiles but the granite is limited.  And thats the problem with not buying the tile ourselves but oh well! I'll take what I can get, especially when the word free is involved : ) !!!
