A tile that's "so Lily"

We got tiles today. Lots and lots of tiles.

We've gone to 4 tile shops around Manhattan and Brooklyn in search of our perfect bathroom tiles. We wanted rectangular shaped beige tiles. Sounds pretty generic right?!? It's so impossible to find them. Of course, it may be because we're picky - we wanted a certain shade of beige; the edges have to be crisp; it couldn't be too swirly, but couldn't be too solid; it couldn't be too big or too small. (this is beginning to sound like our refrigerator hunt). We finally found our perfect bathroom tile at Mondial Tile in Brooklyn.

Today, on a rainy Thursday evening, we went back to buy.

The challenge today is finding the perfect accent strip to accompany our tiles. We were in luck! We found the perfect accent strip for our bathroom. It totally adds our personality to the room without negatively affecting the resale value (hopefully). Sean describes the tile as "that's so Lily". I'm totally stoked!

FYI - if you're ever tile shopping in the NY area - Mondial Tile is a family operated business and they are the nicest people. I feel like they're family. They aren't afraid to tell you when they think something looks awful and they get really excited when you pick something that they think will also look fantastic.
