More tile shopping

After opening up for the electrician, I came home and handled some more desk work. I finally resolved my heated towel bar drama - I found one that was the right size and not too expensive. After that, I ran to two local tile shops, one I had been to before and one I had not. At the one where I had been to before, I went and relooked with my new level of discernment. Tile is like anything - the more you look the more you have to see. I am really clear that I want something in a large (6"x6" or larger) square for the tub deck and we will use the glass tiles on the wall. Glass is really beautiful and unusual. C came up with the brilliant idea of using both glass and ceramic to get the impact of glass but still save money.

I had gotten a sample I really liked of a sage green in a 3"x6" tile. I was really hoping they had it in a large square, but it was not available. I'm concerned that mixing squares and rectangles will look mismatched. At the second tile place, I found a 6" square that I really liked, but it wasn't as nice of a color as the rectangle. I think I could be happy with either one, but I am taking one more trip with my mom tomorrow to go to the part of town with all the home improvement stores. I just want to see if I can improve what I have. If not, I'll be happy with what I have.
