Too many tile choices!

After opening up the house for the electrician, I ran over to the plumbing supply place to see what they had in heated towel bars. They were really helpful last time, so I thought I'd give it a shot. They didn't have anything I could use for under $1,300. This is just too much - I've seen almost exactly what I need for about $100, but there's always just one small thing wrong. I am confident I can find what I need.

Taking advantage of the President's Day Holiday (light traffic on roads and in home improvement stores), I picked up my mom and went to an area with a large concentration of home improvement and flooring stores. We hit about 10 tile places. There is sooooooo much tile out there! I couldn't believe how much.

We took a few samples, and I think I'm pretty close to a choice. I really like glass tiles, but they are really expensive and I'm not sure if it is worth it. I have a light green granite I really like. I wasn't looking for granite, but this just popped out at us and it is on a huge clearance. The other option is some combination of plain ceramic and glass. C and I will sleep on it. The good news is that I like both choices and would be happy with either one. I am hoping to finalize my agreement with a contractor to do the remaining work on the house by the end of the week, so I hope to meet with his tile guy to help us decide.

I think women must have extra color and texture receptors or something. Even I was laughing at some of the comments we made about minute differences in light green tile. "This one's too limey," "this one's too gray," "this one is too Florida for our set up" "this one is too ashey" "this one looks more blue" When I told C of our trek, I think he was glad he wasn't there.
